An absolute legend of a man and a musical hero of mine due to his unbelievable taste in music and for playing so many bands records that may not have had much radio play as so called bigger acts.
Nearly 20 now! Sadly, I only learned about him a year or two before his passing, and it's clear that there is no one like him today - not with a platform like his BBC shows, anyway. Given how fragmented music listening is these days, I'm not sure if it's even possible.

great man
Shocking to think it's now over 10 years. We need him more than ever today.

Rip john and annie nightingale

No wonder they changed the stage name at Glastonbury!
No one has "replaced" John Peel. Although Marc Riley (BBC 6 Music) does come close.
Good riddance to bad luck
If I had to be someone other than myself, it would be John Peel. (But alive, of course.)
You would want to abuse children?! 🤢🤮
Is it by chance that since his death popular music has been in a steady decline into acceptability and politeness.
yes.. but hey children are safe now.. Savile and Harris and Peel have rotted away together
