He played Sheena Easton's 9 TO 5 many times, and once declared
"...when I should be singing something by Joy Division, I find myself
humming this by Sheena Easton..". No shame in that, as Johnny Walker
once said of Candy Staton's Young Hearts, "It's just a pop record, but
actually it's so much more". Nowadays it would have labelled
post-ironic but that wasn't invented in 1981.
For me the more interesting question is would Peel have played Arcade
Fire or The XX?
