Least Favourite Records

Peel mentioned in his Radio Times column of 10th October 1998 that whenever people ask him to name his least favourite record ever it was always a toss up between: 
* Blue Mink: Melting Pot
* Peter Sarstedt: Where Do You Go To My Lovely? (JP: Juan les Pins, indeed)
* Tommy Steele: Little White Bull
He went on to say that perhaps today's top tunes were too neutral to hate.
In the 14 March 2004 edition of the Telegraph, Peel proclaimed his worst record of all time to be Blue Mink's Melting Pot:
"I am quite often asked to choose my worst record of all time. There is a record by Blue Mink called Melting Pot. I would urge anyone looking for the worst record to look no further than that. It is one of those pointlessly optimistic records that I find intensely irritating."
Not surprisingly, none of the least favourite records were played on his shows, although Peter Sarstedt did a session for Peel in 1968.
==Others==
*03 April 1979: Lonnie Mack's Memphis is played. Unfortunately, the re-release is backed by Chris Montez's Let's Dance, "a record I've always disliked intensely."
*29 October 1979: Bob Dylan's 'Man Gave Names To All The Animals' is Simon Bates' single of the week, but JP believes the single is "probably one of the most gruesome records of all time".
*07 April 1995: Johnny Tillotson, Poetry In Motion. JP plays the song by accident, adding that he has always disliked it and wished to save his listeners from hearing it.
*12 October 1998 (BFBS): 'Summertime', from George Gershwin's opera Porgy And Bess. "For some reason it's just one of those songs that really makes me cross."
*30 January 2003: Low's Peel Acres session included a track, 'That's How We Sing (Amazing Grace)'. This prompts Peel to comment that he hates the song (Amazing Grace) so much he leaves the room whenever it comes on.
