John Peel
John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, OBE (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004),
known professionally as John Peel, was a British disc jockey and radio presenter.
He was one of the original DJs of Radio 1 in 1967 and at the time of his death in 2004
the only one remaining on Radio 1. Known for the extraordinary range of his taste in music
and the occasional mistakes (such as playing records at the wrong speed) that marked his shows,
John Peel was one of the most popular and respected DJs in the United Kingdom. His influence
on alternative rock, pop, and dance music is widely acknowledged as being incalculably large.
