John Peel's Festive Fifty 1983: Numbers 20-11


 * 20: Siouxsie And The Banshees, 'Dear Prudence (7 inch)' (Wonderland)

 * 19: Sisters Of Mercy: 'Temple Of Love (7 inch)' (Merciful Release)
 * 18: New Order, 'Your Silent Face (LP-Power Corruption And Lies)' (Factory)
 * JP: 'It's probably heretical to say this, but if you heard their in concert recording which was played on Kid's programme a few days ago, you'll know that they can sound a little untidy live, but they do make great records, and that's one of them.'
 * 17: Echo And The Bunnymen, 'Never Stop (7 inch)' (Korova/WEA)
 * 16: Cocteau Twins, 'From The Flagstones (EP-Sunburst And Snowblind)' (4AD) (JP: 'If it was up to me, this would have been in the top three.')
 * 15: Cure, 'The Love Cats (7 inch)' (Fiction)
 * JP: 'I must admit, I thought that was absolute rubbish the first time I heard it, but I did learn to, not exactly love it, but learn to live with it, anyway.'
 * 14: Cocteau Twins, 'Sugar Hiccup (EP-Sunburst And Snowblind)' (4AD)
 * JP: 'Now you see, if I was going to rig the Festive Fifty, as people occasionally suggest that I do, that would have been higher as well.'
 * 13: X Mal Deutschland, 'Incubus Succubus II (7 inch' (4AD)
 * 12: Public Image Limited: 'This Is Not A Love Song (7 inch)' (Virgin)
 * JP: 'Almost everybody who saw them live, both here and on the continent, I got a lot of letters from the continent about them, said they were dreadful.' 'In a way, I quite enjoy doing this chart rundown thing. It's exciting for me, if not for you.'
 * 11: Red Guitars, 'Good Technology (7 inch)' (Self Drive Records)
