October 27, 200421 yr http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/t...dio/3955289.stm Legendary British DJ John Peel dies of a heart attack at 65 years of age. I was aware of him only through the "John Peel Sessions" series of albums. He was credited with introducing a wide variety of bands, artists and musical styles to British radio. Everything from death metal to reggae to bluegrass, he played it all. That kind of musical diversity is more and more uncommon in any form of radio, with everything micro-formatted and the box getting smaller and smaller.
