The Fall (band): Difference between revisions

* [[Adored By the Network]]: The Fall were favorite band of BBC Radio DJ John Peel and its was rather good thing for the band to have one of the most respected, beloved and influential radio DJs in the world as [[Big Name Fan|their number one fan]], as he continuously played the band's records on his shows, giving them a major [[Colbert Bump]]. Even though the band played Peel's radio show many, many times before Peel's 2004 death, he and Mark E. Smith only met face-to-face on two apparently awkward occasions.

** When the band performed "Eat Y'self Fitter" for the first time on Peel's radio show in March 1983, Peel actually ''fainted'' from how awestruck he was by the song and his producer had to resuscitate him.

* [[Archive Panic]]: They have released ''29'' studio albums since 1978. Don't rely on compilations for help either, most of them are rather poorly compiled or only focus on a certain point in the band's career.

** What many fans and critics claim is the band's definitive release, the 2005 compilation ''Complete Peel Sessions 1978-2004'' box set of radio sessions, weighs in at 6 CDs and seven hours.
