RIP John Peel, a true icon

[@carltwidle9046]

I like Damon Alban. I have never heard of Idle Race. Jeff Lynne was in the group the Move in the sixties. And then ELO.

[@Mazalinda]

I have the single “Skeleton on the Roundabout” by the Idle Race. It got a lot of airtime on the Pirates, that greatest time ever for music because they played everything without prejudice. John’s show “The Perfumed Garden” was on too late for me but I bet he put a lot of the DJs onto bands they never heard before.

I would do ANYTHING to look through his vinyl collection. My collection of about 15,000 would I bet seem tiny in comparison!

Hard to imagine Peel listening to Reich!

[@deinemuttiband]

[@BenJonesVideographer]

[@BossySwan]

John Peel was well known for his love of Andre’s pop career

[@festersuncle6298]

Blur's lead singer has never heard Idle Race? Wtf?

[@bingsinatra5283]

I was holding out for 'Nothing Takes The Place Of You' by Mike Spenser & The Cannibals.
