I've said it before, but Zappa. 
Apart from some early Mothers, back when Peel was still a hippy, I never did hear him play a Zappa track, and FZ was nothing if not prolific.
My guess is that his fondness for Beefheart and Wild Man Fisher, whom some consider to have been exploited by Zappa, was the reason, or maybe he just found his music a bit 'highbrow'...
If I ever get round to writing a will, I swear that no-one will get a penny unless 'Peaches En Regalia' is played at my funeral,
Cheers
Roger

However, a quick Wiki search turned up a fair few hits, including '409' (played on at least three occasions, two of them late on as well), and he seemed to like the Carl & The Passions album too. And yes, he played Pet Sounds on Radio London.
