The BBC should put up a list of the bands first broadcast on his show.
What an epitaph that'd be.

If anyone's curious about who he was, here's a link of about 270 cd's you would never have heard without him:

I seriously doubt that's all of them either..

Very sad about this, he was a truly great man, open-minded about music(unlike most DJs) and had a great sense of humour to go with it.

A titanic loss to music and broadcasting.

Peely - we salute you. May you entertain those in heaven by playing back-to-back punk, 30's big band and drum'n'bass records

Sad news indeed.

I have a friend whose band was featured on John's show.

He will be greatly missed.

Probably not to anyone besides underground music lovers, but I had several of his sessions..I've known who he was since the late 80's..

What a drag..he was a very important champion for anyone trying to break a mold..

And acid house.

Chris Moyles is still alive.

I've got the Orbital Peel Sessions CD. But then I would...

A Guy Called Gerald's first Peel Session - Now there was a thing. Absolutely superb.

f**k.

What an absolute loss to music; not just British music, all and any music that isnt just mass-media pap. A truly great man, a f**king HERO, in fact. He probably did more to broaden the minds and tastes of 3 generations of listeners than any 20 other DJ's put together.

John Peel RIP.
