all this talk of Peel lists....

....made me think of when John celebrated his 40th birthday he played 
40 tracks to mark the occasion.  I don't think he said it was his all-
time favourites but something close.  Since, in August 1979, I was 
only 15 I'd never heard of most of them but there was a few punk 
classics including Magazine's "Shot By Both Sides" (I think!!) who 
were the 1st band I ever saw at King Georges Hall, Blackburn 17th 
April 1979 (supported by Simple Minds!! who were also played by Peel 
in those days).  I've never seen anyone refer to this list of 40 
tracks on this forum.  Can anyone shed any light on this?  Please 
don't say I dreamt this up!!! 
    I think Decoration are a great band, my favourite LP of last year 
was by McLusky and I'm really looking to the Peel Sessions box set by 
The Fall.  I think that covers the old/new music situation!
