Music to be murdered by

I'll tell ya, there are days when BoingBoing hits on all cylinders for me and today is one of those days. They have a post about John Peel's personal favorites that someone found stored, lovingly, in a box following his death. Apparently, the Times Online has published the full list of 142 7" singles that made up the music that was closest to his heart.
Oh, if you don't know who John Peel was or have never heard of his famous Peel Sessions, you obviously have never been a big fan of music (no judgement here.)
As music is what keeps my blood coursing through my veins, it has been impossible to avoid owning copies of Peel Sessions from the Smiths, The Clash and many, many others.
