A true legend that will be completely missed, the people that he helped along the way, when they all give their tributes to him, will be a who's who's of music, bowie, orbital and many many others. The man did something that few actually do these days, he gave so much to the scene that he cherished, he gave and gave till his dying day. I was doing a legends of EDM feature but I'll do a feature on John Peel sometime next week because I feel his contribution to music cannot be overlooked and that people who are younger, need to realize this.

John was a great DJ, such a shame with the circumstances of his death too, it was totally unexpected. Not that knowing he was going to die soon would be good of course.

This is such sad news, the man is a legend in music and will be greatly missed, he was so diverse in his listening, from Punk to 30's big time Bands to Jazz to Hardcore and so much else.
John Peel was the only DJ that the BBC could not playlist, i admire the man for sticking to his principles for his entite life.
Many a long journey up and down the country have been made so much better by listening to John Peel and never knowing what to expect from him, the Peel Sessions are his legacy to what he has given to music
