Given the sad demise of the great John Peel this year, the Festive 50 will be even more poignant and defining this Yule.

Despite being a sad year for music due to Johns passing, on a positive note it has certainly been the Year Of The Moz – so get voting:

  • Morrissey has not appeared on the list since 1990! Blasphemy! Possibly his two greatest albums, Your Arsenal and Vauxhall And I, were not included at all.Why did this happen!?

    • The presenter of the show before John Peel a few years ago urged his listeners to vote in the festive 50. John asked him to desist as this would distort the poll. In that spirit, unless you were a semi regular listener this year, please do not vote. Peels listeners know Morrissey, it wont prove very much. All that would be achieved would be to push out smaller band. This is the last festive 50 that will be influenced by John Peel and i have "You are the Quarry" thanks very much. No offence to the original poster.

  • This will presumably be the last festive 50 and a very sad day. It was always one of the highlights of the Christmas period and just won't be the same without John Peel's between songs chat.

    I voted for Morrissey as songs 2 and 3 and (against the rules but hey) voted for Teenage Kicks as first choice. Would be nice if somehow that won.

    Track #2
    "First Of The Gang To Die"
    Morrissey

    Track #3
    "You Know I Couldn't Last"
    Morrissey

    probably not my real top3 of the year [ignoring Manics, U2, PJ Harvey, The Magnetic Fields, Stars, Sarah Harmer, Franz Ferdinand and everyone else] but icouldnt really be bothered to sit down rightnow and really think it through honestly. definitely three of my favourite songs of the year anyway from our favourite artist of the year.
