Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

White Stripes, Hand Springs:

concerning the white stripes. i like them in theory. that hand springs song is great but i think i prefer the blues originals. e.g. i was glad to see lightnin hopkins and elmore james on the list. all this probably doesn't make sense but why should it? john peel' record box doesn't make sense to me neither. there are too many blind spots in it when it concerns my favourites. some artists i couldn't not imagine in my record box: joni mitchell, nick drake, the velvet underground, joy division, the smiths, the cure, giant sand, yo la tengo, talk talk, neil young, the field mice, lambchop, brian eno, roxy music, bob dylan, keith jarrett, pere ubu, wipers, lloyd cole, mary margaret o'hara, pixies, sonic youth, idaho, swell, red house painters, cowboy junkies, robert wyatt, pinback, aimee mann, radiohead, my bloody valentine, meat puppets, feelies, gun club, catherine wheel, new order, nirvana, smashing pumpkins, the chills, american analog set, cocteau twins, talking heads and many more.

My box would also be different. Some from Peels, Some from yours, and a lot of stuff not so.

Still, I'm keen to hear the stuff I haven't heard, so let them roll.

Hey, if this thread eventually contains 140 YSI's then that will be the best.

yes, completely. sorry if that wasn't clear!

If you ckick on a YSI link, do the biz, then click backarrow twice quickly, then forward arrow, you get back to the portion of thread you were looking at. If you click backarrow once, you just get left at the top of the thread.

Oh, and keep them coming obviously. I'll search out the White Stripes stuff, no-one with any Charlie Feathers?

(why do i get the feeling that i've spent 20+ years of my life recording what are effectively novelty records off peel's show?)

I got the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm's take on "Heart of Glass" (done in the Jesus and Mary chain style) purely because I happened to be taping the show, and got the contact address.

The 'yeehaa' version of "Pretty Vacant" I heared once, but never traced down, until I got JP's FabricLive CD.

and Sheena EASTON is ACE! How could you NOT like 9-5?!?!?

Mike T-Diva, I am intrigued by your taste in music. I wish my computer could cope with You Send It and I'd go and listen to some of those MP3s.

and sorry for my not so nice comment upthread, patita. i wasn't in a good mood last night.

I'd given some thought to burning the mp3s to cds and making a few nice little boxes for them as gifts for fellow music lovers. silly, but it might be fun.

I have a theory that when he was in the process of trying to lose his hippy trappings he based a lot of his vocal mannerisms on John Walters, his producer, they could sound very similar.
