EVER PLAYED A SONG YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAY... OH, SOD IT...

We can understand some of the confusion at radio One's decision to not play the singalong John Peel tribute cover of the Buzzcocks - but, seriously, a mass charidee record featuring Elton John, Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey is hardly the sort of thing Radio One is there to be playing, and much more to the point, is the sort of record that Peel's own programme wouldn't have gone near even if all his other records had been stolen and it was wrapped together with the last request of a dying nun to hear it. Really, Radio One's decision to not inflict the single on its listeners is probably the closest the station has come to the spirit of Peel in the last year.
