| | John Peel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, OBE (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004), known professionally as John Peel, was a British disc jockey, radio presenter, and journalist. | | | Peel also championed a wealth of other musical genres from reggae to death metal. | | | His subsequent programmes, known simply as John Peel shows, continued in the same vein, although their musical content was transformed after 1976, when, weary of the "adult-oriented rock" of the mid-70s, he chose to support the punk movement - to the dismay of some of his listeners and the delight of a new, younger audience. |

| | Former pirate radio star, John Peel was the last male remaining disc jockey from the original line-up of Radio 1 in 1967. | | | One of Radio 1's only fans of punk, he became the first DJ to play a record twice in a row. | | | However, Peel's love of music's cutting edge has put him on a collision course with the Radio 1 management and fellow DJs alike. |

| | The Captain Beefheart Radar Station - John Peel and Captain Beefheart |
| | Peel was 65 and beloved of several generations of musicians for playing the stuff that no-one else would touch - he was recently asked what he was listening to nowadays and replied "I've been exploring Scandinavian Death Metal" and you knew this old man wasn't lying. | | | John's death is a catastrophe for music in this country. | | | When Trout Mask was released, Peel wasn't allowed to play more than one track on each session of his weekly radio show, so he just went through the entire album, track by track, week by week, until he'd played it all. |

| | Remembering "the Peel Sessions." By Douglas Wolk |
| | Peel was exactly what DJs should be and almost never are: an ideal Sherpa guide to the mountain of music. | | | But the music world's overwhelming grief over the death of the BBC Radio 1 disc jockey suggests that Peel was right up there—remarkably, for someone who was not a musician himself. | | | On a memorial broadcast for John Peel—who died of a heart attack on Oct. 25 at the age of 65—BBC radio host Mary Anne Hobbs called him "the single most important man that global musical culture has ever seen." That may not be quite true. |
