The same thing applied when he played several tracks in a row from the Rolling Stones Love You Live, directly segued into Slaughter & The Dog's "You're A Bore", followed by an almost-but-not-quite apology for the "cheap link".

He did play them initially at least, my first exposure the band was hearing the 12" (rockier) version of 'Walking with Jesus' on his show. One of countless reasons I have to be very grateful to the man.

Good on him!
As for me, I guess the answer to the thread is "none of them". Never heard a Peel session in my life.

All that actually means is that he never turned you onto anything directly.

at times there were way too many of those '1 live in {somewhere}' type shows full of bands that were better suited to lamacq but which happened during peel's timeslot so he was pretty much unable to avoid participating, and which i, personally, hated. would much rather have listened to him play records. more recently there were a lot of other djs doing hour long guest slots, people from 1xtra etc.
the one thing that made me angry over the last couple of days was tony fucking blair sticking his oar in.
oh, and he had Kelis in session sometime in the last few years so he's not completely anti that stuff.

As far as I recall, he never played anything on the el label at all, although to the extent that Vic Godard and ex-members of the Monochrome Set were on el, he played it. But certainly no sessions for the likes of King of Luxembourg, Always, Anthony Adverse, Gol Gappas, Hunky Dory, Louis Philippe, Marden Hill, Momus... A decision was made, and the label was, in some way, stillborn in the UK, just hanging there suspended, like a foetus in a jar. Not that my move to Creation (partly the result of this suspension) changed matters much.
