I think his influence went far beyond that Shy. He was sort of at the masthead of virtually every musical trend from 1966 to 1990-ish.

RIP John.  :'(

I used to stay up late on a school night to listen to Peelie in the late 70s/early 80s and tape his show.

Of course, the country town I grew up in never had a shop that sold the cool music that he played, but nevertheless it was an eye-opener for me.

Darn it, I'm off to play the first Fall album in tribute.  8)

Just read on the net that DJ John Peel has died of a heart attack whilst on holiday in Peru.

Very sad.
Yes - very sad.

I agree :'(

I am deeply saddened by "Peely's" death..he was a legend on the radio!

I remember he played such a varied mix of music on his show, and sounded so laid back all the time!

Jonzun Crew- Space Is The Place i heard for the first time on his show, along with loads of indie/new wave stuff..

a sad day for all music fans...

I didnt realise until last night that former CHIC & POWER STATION drummer TONY THOMPSON died less than two months after Robert Palmer,his former band mate in the Power Station.

He sadly died of cancer aged 48.

I will add Patty Donahue, lead singer of The Waitresses.  They did the songs "I Know what Boys Like" and "Christmas Wrapping."  She died in 1996 of cancer at age 40.

another one of the great DJs ever has gone . Tommy Vance was a GOD of the radio . He was a no-nonsence type of guy who just loved music . One of the few DJs that promoted rock music while most others were happy to play it safe with more mainstream kinds of music . he will be sadly missed , and with the loss of John Peel not long ago we have lost 2 DJs that will be hard to replace . RIP both of them .
