R.I.P. John Peel

Recommended Posts

He died today while on holiday in Peru.

He was by far the greatest influence on my musical tastes from punk to Rave and hip hop and onto music from all over the globe.

He will be greatly missed.

Cheers john... this one for you, Teenage kicks is blasting away while i drown my sorrows.

Ah, now I understand. That's where the peel sessions originate. How sad. R.I.P indeed.

he will be sorely missed.

back in the 80's when BBC radio 1 was a piece ov shit, i used to wait until his show came on at 11pm & then i had something cool to listen to while supposedly doing my home-work.

he made a shit station cool & a boring chore fun.

thanks for letting us know Slarty.

Yeah, it's quite sad. He has done so much for music as we know it, it'll be hard for anyone to exert the same influences again I think.
