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!!!!!

              was mainly the dush dush dance stuff that left me cold,
              and led to me actually missing some shows from 2000ish
              onwards, where it seemed to be filling up the programmes.

              could make your own mind up. I think he would have been
              mystified if someone claimed to have exactly the same
              musical taste as himself. He would have just been sad if
              people stopped listening to new music - I remembered he
              likened it to films once - why get stuck watching the
              films that were made up until you are 25.

              to grin and bear it from the late 80s in the hope of
              hearing  a gem and when it almost completely took over
              his show - or at least seemed to - I even gave up
              listening for a while then missed his contribution to my
              musical history/present too much.

              blazing i do really think the wedding present were
              probably the biggest mistake peel made in getting behind,
              did thoroughly decent bloke and mate cloud peels
              judgement?there awfull, just listen to mr gedge`s voice,
              he cant sing for toffees,that awfull whine,i just don`t
              get the popularity with that band. anybody else think peel
              got it badly wrong in championing any particular band?

              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
              the microwave every time he plays them.
