"I don't think many people realised just how much influence he had until he was gone, a true testament to a man who probably had more to do with what we listened to than we care to admit" - Michael

"Unmistakable voice, he is just one of those people many generations have grew up listening to and an amazing person. He will be sadly missed..." - Bob

"I believe that there are very few people in the western world who have not been changed for the better as a result of what John Peel has done." - Jack

"John Peel did an invaluable job at introducing so many bands to such a wide audience, his influence to popular culture in the west in immeasurable. He will be missed so badly." - Brennig
