Ridiculous how many people are now suddenly Peel's biggest fans now he is dead its trendy these days to say he was the biggest influence on your musical taste imo , 50% of the stuff he played was an absolute racket still a sound bloke but not to the extremes some people are suddenly making out
he played some shite but some decent stuff too he was a shit dj though, the amount of times he played stuff at the wrong speed or pressed the wrong button was hilarious
i used to listen to john peels show & appreciate some of the talent he found but he also played some noise pollution! i like the who as i was brought up on them & similar stuff by my dad!
your spot on, the amount of people ive seen jump on the john peel band wagon is amazing. everyones treating him like a musical god.
