[peel] Most surprising records played

[steve lippert]

It surprised me when he played Stand and Deliver by Adam and the Ants, as they 
were 'top of the pops' by then - but I have to admit that I also rather liked 
the tune...

  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?
