Damn, Mozza's The Fall were by far the most played!
Also, I just noticed Pavement is in this graph. Yuck, not one musical note that they've ever conjured up has ever excited me. Incredibly overrated band.
WUT?!?!?!
P.
pavement are awesome and so are his first three solo albums. type slowly and shady lane are songs i could play at any time or place
theyre a band that has kinda two phases. the first three albums are the literate lo-fi pop albums which i like but are kinda just ok to me though crooked rain crooked rain is the best of them by far. think the pixies sonic youth go to the beach with weezer and uncle tupelo (later wilco). then they released brighten the corners and terror twilight which ditch the lo-fi for some more jazzy indie rock textures and poetry which i love. also give the solo album face the truth a try (i think it a meditation on death and a midlife).
pavement - brighten the corners

I can't stand The Clash. Sorry, just can't stand them. I guess Peel wasn't big on The Cure. They're tremendous and I'm surprised they didn't make this list, or graph, whatever this is. Also, I just noticed Pavement is in this graph. Yuck, not one musical note that they've ever conjured up has ever excited me. Incredibly overrated band.
Well, I'll have to try and give them another chance. I haven't listened to them for five or six years. My former co-worker Jeremy made me a mix-CD of them, and some other artists, and I just didn't care for it. It has been well, I guess seven years now. I'll try and give them another chance.
There's a lot of shit on that list.
You are entitled your opinion, but Festive 50 reflected Peel listeners' taste.
It is still very interesting to see what kind of music was popular at that time.
The Fall, The Smiths and Half Man Half Biscuit. Literally literary geniuses. IMH{umble}O
