John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

2000 Festive Fifty (All-Time): Numbers 20-16[]

(JP: 'I've got an outraged email here from Sean in Preston, saying, "No Cuban Boys in the 1999 Peelenium? It's an outrage! How can you not have 'Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia'? It's the most important musical event of the year", and so on. But you know, we've tried with the tracks in the Peelenium, quite clearly, you can't represent an entire year with just four or five tracks, but to play some of the less obvious ones, and, as regular listeners will know, our bodies throb in unison in this house at the mere mention of the name of the Cuban Boys, so we certainly love 'em, we're not trying to do 'em down in any way.')
(JP: 'Perennial favourite, obviously.')
