Momus himself suspected that Peel disliked his music out of a cultural cringe at his own European-ness / traditional education.  Superficially the same argument often used by prog fans against Peel, of course, but not really the same at all (Nick Currie's work, at least in earlier years, really is in the shadow of Brel/Brassens/Gainsbourg who I think Peel *did* find oppressively "old world", whereas ELP to me are *too* "rock'n'roll", rather than not "rock'n'roll" enough).
