wow that is sad. i hate reading things like this. it makes you really depressed when people who've made a positive contibution to popular music dies, leaving a void to be filled by some talentless hack.

Well I am not the guru on John Peel but he worked for the BBC music for like 30 years or something? He was known for his radio shows and brining in up and coming talent. Many bands went over to record their BBC sessions with John Peel. Two that immediatly come to mind for me are Pavement and J Mascis. I actually have the J mascis sessions Mike Watt plays bass for him during the recording.

Perhaps someone else can shed more light on him.

Musicians from across the world are already starting to pay tribute. Manic Street Preachers singer James Dean Bradfield said that he’d been a huge influence.

He said: "It was because of him I got to hear some of the most obscure but influential music I ever heard. He was a lifeline to hearing music I would never have heard otherwise. The service he provided was getting to hear music that you couldn't buy in Cardiff. He was a portal to a whole new world."

Fellow Welshman Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals described Peel as “very open-mindedâ€

Oh my gosh, this is so sad. A couple years ago I would listen to his show over the internet, he would play the best music.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

If you want to get an Undertones song, today is the day. The net is flooded with 'em. First song Peel played. RIP old man. Also, I just downloaded J Mascis' Alone from one of the sessions - It's fantastic.

That is a screamingly good song.

The Pumpkins' Peel Sessions EP is also pretty tasty.

Alone is so good plus the first song on the album he does a medley and throws pavements Range Life in it .... I went like this when i heard it: :shock:

I think if you go to the bbc website you can actually download some of the sessions from 2002 onward which is kinda cool.

I don't think PJ ever did I think after the late 60's and early 70's he really moved to trying to find lesser known bands and help them get on their feet. PJ kinda exploded and would not fit the type of band he usually had on i think
