Stay Positive Posted 28 August 2011 Share Posted 28 August 2011 Well, as we all know, Peely brought some of the greatest music of all time to our attention, but he wasn't always right. For a start, he always refused to play the superb band The Long Ryders and refused Green On Red any form of airtime. Some might also point to the fact that it was Peel who made Musical Youth's "Pass The Dutchie" and Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" colossal hits (though I have a perverse admiration for those two) so I wondered if anyone had any more gems overlooked by the great man?

purpleronnie Posted 28 August 2011 Share Posted 28 August 2011 But peel had a great sense of humour and just because some records aren't considered 'cool' why is it considered 'wrong'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay Positive Posted 28 August 2011 Author Share Posted 28 August 2011 Well OK, maybe I should have put "in your opinion" at the end of that thread title. Don't get me wrong here. I loved Peel, but if I made a thread of what he got RIGHT, it could go on forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 13 September 2011 Share Posted 13 September 2011 Peel championed Hefner for a long time, so he's alright by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
