You'd have to check like 12 specialized music shows (world music, jamaican music, techno, grindcore, gabba, pre 50's overlooked music, blues, folk, pornogrind, jungle, idm, hardcore, soca, calypso, uk garage, asiatic music...) to have an equivalent to Peel's show. And assuming those dj's are independent and with a broad eclectic taste like hi. I think it was a perfect program to be exposed to different music and not only the usual indie acts discussed ad nauseam.
John Peel is utterly based beyond, just didn't give a fuck, seems to be a really cool dude with a clear good radar for music taste, i always felt some sorta of connection with him for being a music nerd, who likes of all kinds of music. Imagine how much people owns to him for being exposed to great music before the internet? was so crazy because when i was a kid i saw that a lot of bands had a peel session album and didn't know was this based british DJ with awesome taste in music.

There used to be some requirements to get hired by BBC.
Andrew Davis
He meant teenagers albeit slightly under 18 that came onto him out of spite.

Kevin Stewart
That's the other djay
David Robinson
bump
Dylan Bell
He was a poseur obsessed with looking eclectic. His fans were just pseuds.
Sebastian Davis
>poseur eclectic far from that. it was an honestly approach at music, which implies opening to different sounds not for posturing (nd the same goes for his listeners). it was far from the usual hispterism
Isaac Sullivan
Dude's so based he gave fucking Yimino some love. That's as obscure IDM as you can get.
If Clash bullied him they have no taste. mediocre band with Straight to Hell being their only noteworthy song.

Peel is a legend. A man who cut his teeth in the era of boomer rock legends and turned his back on them in the 70s before everyone else did in the 80s. Never content to just keep listening to the same old shit. Always searching for something new. Even if you don't like him or his music taste there's something to be learned from his approach to it. He was on new trends before others not because he was trying to be trendy, but simply because he was always seeking something new.
Justin Garcia
Whenever a band he'd been playing broke into the charts, he would instantly drop them from the show. It absolutely was hipsterism.
Elijah Flores
The best part was the state broadcaster subsidized his show which meant he didn't have to worry about commercial appeal like with private radio stations. In America the best stations are the college/public stations rather than the corporate owned for profit ones ran by I Heart Radio and Audacy that just play the same 50 songs in an automated playlist
Jason Murphy
It wasn't for chart placement but the music turning mediocre in most of cases. He didn't make famous friends for that
Joshua Long

John Richardson
reminder he was a pedo rapist
Anthony Edwards
A rapist he wasn't. And not a pedo, check the archive for previoua explanation
James Jackson
>>Whenever a band he'd been playing broke into the charts, he would instantly drop them from the show.
So he kept it fresh with lesser heard talent, whats the problem with that?
