Does anyone else think this deserves to go onto the MAIN PAGE
He was a big big advocate of JD and NO's music and will be sadly missed for his contribution to the music industry.

Well, first thing I did when I saw Al's post actually.
I just added Bernard's quotes to the front page as well.
And if any of you are interested, it appears that Steve Lemacq will be doing a tribute show to Mr. Peel at 11:00 tonight, London time, so that means I'll be glued to the computer at 5 my time...
rip john. some of my best memories buying music, was when i would get all excited when i saw a peel session album for one of my favorite bands.
Or finding a Peel Session by a band you had never heard of, and buying it anyway, because if Peel thought it was good, you just knew it had to be.
Sad News
Not everyday Hooky is on Channel 4 News offering opinion regarding their Headline tho 
RIP
as i was familiar with the peel sessions before i had ever heard of john peel, i thought the name had something to do with banana peels. teenagers....
Like Warhols Banana Peel?
I bet that Bastard Pete ( responsible for all the shite music ever ) Waterman had something to do with his death.
What have we got to look forward to now? Fcuking Pop idol
HELP 
...because being in New Zealand right now, I'm off any news - may you rest in peace, I loved you're way of presenting music...
The Saviour in New Zealand.
Felt inspired to post my first message here in months and months,
So gutted about John Peel. Listening to Radio 1 yesterday was painful. I felt yesterday that part of my childhood had died, the evenings I used to sit up listening to his show... *sigh* I'm just lost for words, its just so sad.

R.I.P. John
Keep those teenagers kicking up there.
How he never got a Knighthood remains a mystery to me.
This sad news still hasn't sunk in for me. Only yesterday I was already reeling from the news bombshell that our Spanish ace Mendieta will miss the rest of Boro's (already ridiculously injury-plagued) season and UEFA run cos of cruciate ligament damage - and then the news that John Peel had gone made me feel even worse......
My dodgy teenage years were partially spent using Peely as a defiant weapon to piss off my school mates, most of whom thought Peter Powell and Steve Wright were the bees knees. Of course, without Peely, I would never have heard about JD/NO, The Pop Group, Wire, Dead Kennedys, Angelic Upstarts, Kraftwerk, The Clash, Billy Bragg, Two Tone, Big Black, Hüsker Dü, Fugazi, the Pixies...... the great man did so much to show us that there was all sorts of other stuff out there worth listening to. But of course no one could play it quite like Peely could. What a truly sad loss. RIP John.
:(
I`d just began tuning into his show the last few months after drifting away from finding the time for a couple of years.So glad i did hear some of his last shows.
What is particularly sad is that apprently his autobiography has been commissioned and was due for release in October next year, but Peely had only completed 45k words out of an expected 100k. Shame.
Nice of Footbal focus to use backing music by Peels bands today. I heard Barbarism Begins at Home and True faith. Nice tribute at the end, especially considering he was such a huge fan of the scousers.
No Autobiography, but we will at least have a Biograhy I should imagine, I know it ain't the same but it should be an insight.
What will happen to his record collection - Ebay ?

Should be in a library/museum if there's any justice.
