[peel] Re: What was your most hated Peel favourite band?

[David Quantick]

I hate some bands and yet I like others. Any bands people like who nobody apparently liked? I would vote for Gaffa.

Eg Trumpton Riots, I Hate Nerys Hughes, Albert  Hammond Bootleg.

  that was sort of my point. Anyone who cravenly liked everything he played must 
  be lying. His choice was so eclectic that no one could like everything even if

  here loved every thing he played - surely that's the point. He played what he 
  liked -not what he was told to play - and you 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.

  most of the repetitive beat/dance/rave/ house/acid music (eg a whole genre) he 
  played unlistenable but used 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.

  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?

  and played their stuff to death, I can't go along with you on that one, but 
  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.
