Indeed. Without John Peel, I would never have been introduced to the sounds of many bands. The ones that stick in my head though have to be The Butthole Surfers and the Jack Officers. That was what was great about John Peel, he didn't have a particular musical taste, just cause something was bracketed "dance" or "thrash metal" he would give everything an equal listen and if it was good, it was good.
