disnews by DiS News December 31st, 2004
The John Peel 2004 Festive 50 was announced last night, with The Fall claiming the top spot for ‘Theme from Sparta FC #2’.

The annual listeners' vote has been running since 1976 and this year's list is the last to bear the influence of the legendary DJ, who died in October.

The top ten is as follows…

1. The Fall – ‘Theme from Sparta FC #2’
2. Bearsuit – ‘Chargr’
3. Caroline Martin – ‘The Singer’
4. Aerogramme – ‘Dreams and Bridges’
5. Sluts of Trust – ‘Leave You Wanting More’
6. The Delgados – ‘Everybody Come Down’
7. Sons & Daughters – ‘Johnny Cash’
8. Half Man Half Biscuit – ‘Joy Division’
9. Graham Coxon – ‘Freakin' Out’
10. Jawbone – ‘Hi De Hi’

The Delgados, PJ Harvey and Bloc Party all have more than one song in the top 50.
