If they were to make next year's entire Glastonbury Festival a tribute to him, that wouldn't be an excessive gesture. And there certainly wouldn't be many bands or artists who would decline an invitation.

You wont find many other 65 year olds able to embrace todays music good and bad

Very upsetting news. He will indeed be missed. Like it says in so many tributes at and presumably thousands more at websites around the world.

DJ LEGEND JOHN PEEL DIES

Veteran disc jockey John Peel has died on a working holiday in Peru, the BBC has announced. He was 65.

He was in the ancient Inca city of Cuzco when he suffered a heart attack.


The veteran presenter, who discovered dozens of major bands during 40 years of broadcasting, was with his wife Sheila.

Peel presented the award-winning Radio 4 programme Home Truths and a late night weekday show on Radio 1.

Radio 1 controller Andy Parfitt said: "John Peel was a broadcasting legend. I am deeply saddened by his death, as are all who work at Radio 1.

"John's influence has towered over the development of popular music for nearly four decades and his contribution to modern music and music culture is immeasurable.

"Hopeful bands all over the world sent their demo tapes to John knowing that he really cared.

"His commitment and passion for new music only grew stronger over the years. He will be hugely missed."

Peel, born in 1939, was one of Britain's original pirate radio disc jockeys in the 1960s. Peel was his assumed "pirate" name.

In the late 1970s he championed punk rock to the consternation of many of his radio contemporaries.

They were still playing rock supergroups and were convinced the new music fad would never had any real impact.

Peel - an authority on independent music - was honoured as an Order of the British Empire.

I think the new Manic Street Preachers album 'Lifeblood' is fantastic. I am probably biased, as I like all their music but I think this one is amazing:-

Re: my Friend's Sister Lucie SIvas....she not only got single and album of the week on Radio 2 but she entered the chart an No 14 which is great stuff for a first single and considering the other releases this week.

I didn't think it was as good as "Into the Valley" but there is a similarity. If he released that 20 years ago it might do well but now it sounds a bit dated. Shame he couldn't continue with Blur, as I think his guitar and Damon Albarn's song writing skills were a fantastic combination.

Get yer ears`around this live track from ex Blur guitar maestro Graham Coxon :

I reckon the style of the riff is borrowed from The Skids "Into the Valley" played by the late great Stuart Adamson but it's still pretty damn good ...

Well being the oldest rocker in town I dont understand much of the recent BB talk, so lets get back to business. Now then, I have just had swiped off me 73% of my holding.So I reckon I must be owed about £600 Quid. Has anyone got any idea when we might get our cheques. Sorry to spoil the fun chaps, but I think the graphics are brilliant anyway.
