The Album Review Club - End of Round #9 Break (page 1904)

I don’t think John Peel ever played the kind of music I like so this might be interesting.

Peel rather changed track on what he liked so heavily did he jump on the punk / new wave band wagon.

I can’t abide prog rock.
As an aside, Roy Harper was a god to me, but it isn’t one of his.
My choice were loved by John Peel and Jimmy Page.
I am very confident my choice will poll last.

The Mersey Beats.........

Little Feat was Page's favo(u)rite band and Peel loved them too. One of my college roommates had "Dixie Chicken" and we used to listen to it fairly regularly. I had never heard of them before then.

Americans have absolutely no appreciation for how influential Peel was. It's impossible to narrow down the number of bands he loved; it's easier for Page so that's why I went with what I did.

If it's as you say timeframe and artist-wise then I suspect @denislawsbackheel is understating what their popularity will be, at least for me!

Time frame way way out

Bert Jansch or Pentangle?

Nearer than anything else so far.
