Hmm

I disliked lots of Peel's faves at first but they grew on me - loved the 
way he championed bands who later matured - always kept me guessing and 
intrigued

The list of bands and genres he introduced me to is endless - so many 
magic moments, Slits, Pop Group, early Scritts, The mighty Fall, Sonic 
Youth, Misty, Aswad, Oval, PHJ, Fresenius Kabi, Diblo, Bhundus, Abana 
Banaseri, Melt Banana, Boredoms, JUNE TABOR, Martin Carthy, John Martyn, 
Drum and Bass, Electro, Dance, Weddoes, Microdisney Glad you were born 
in England, Tangerine Dream, Lee Perry, Bovell, The Jury Boys, even now 
I am first hearing the Superqueens and Living Ornament, Guitar Wolf, 
Pinetop Smith, who was that fab boogie woogie lady? Pig's Big 78, and of 
course - The Native Hipsters Oh look there goes concord again, who was 
it did that song went wah wah didly diddly splong with lots of shouting? 
Splintered, nearly forgot Vermonster and Trumanswater, the Saints, Dead 
C, Who did 'and I send my love with a Molotov cocktail?'

Gosh JP changed my life!!!!!

              again it's only personal opinion, as I repeatedly had to
              point out to those who bit my head off for negative
              write-ups of Melt Banana and Radiohead on Teenage Kicks.
              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
