Although, being 18, I could never truly appreciate what John Peel has done for music for the last 40 years, I can say how much I enjoyed listening to his shows, how much of a legend the guy clearly was, how much he entertained me whenever I saw him presenting Glasto on the TV, or all the other times I've seen or heard him. He's a figurehead for all that is good about music, rather than all the bullshit that you usually get.

My heart goes out to his family, it is a tragic loss to both them, and the whole of the music industry.

God bless you sir. RIP

Being in Ireland I never really heard much about him but I just wanted to say how touched I am by reactions on the boards I post at. Never seen a death have such a heartfelt response to it.

Before they changed the Radio 1 times I would listen to John Peel pretty much every night. The guy was an icon as far as alternative music goes. Him dying is such a major loss to music. Probably the only guy in the world who could play records at the wrong speed on the air and get away with it.

he would play a final song before the rock show and it would the heaviest metal has to offer and then the rock show would kick off with linkin park , a true legend has been taken away from us.

At least heaven will have some great music to listen too!

He covered just about every genre of music during his show, except pop, and that was my major liking of it.
And I always loved it when he said after playing a song:
"I still think that sounds better at the wrong speed."

As I read on another message board, who's going to play Biffy Clyro now.
When I was younger I used to plug my headphones my stereo to listen to his show.
