[peel] A new England

[John Gray]

No, sorry, huge ISB fan!  And of course part of John's appeal was that he would play them, and then follow with some huge noise.  I do remember him going on and on about a band called Forest, who were just a pale and uninteresting bunch of ISB wannabees.  (IMHO, of course!)

Those two would definitely be my bete noires, and while I'm at it, please add Sheena Easton, Racing Cars, the Incredible String Band and Steveless to the list of those acts John loved but which make me want to stick my head in the microwave every time he plays them.
