John has been with Radio 1 from the beginning in 1967, establishing himself with the late night programme Top Gear. John was the first DJ to give exposure to punk, reggae, hip-hop, long before they crossed over into the mainstream. Almost anyone who is anyone in the world of music has recorded a session for Peel.
John recently celebrated 40 years on the air and continues to seek out the best new music around.
-sorry i coulnt remember this guy's name during a discussion i had a while back. I used to listen to this guy in high school, still rockin at 128 years old.

UPDATE: Someone put together a collection of MP3s featured on Mr.Peels radio program.
It seems as though its not being updated, but its a nice diverse collection of tunes.
