There is a lot more to music than rock,my tastes are very eclectic,but Peel just played really obscure music that tended to drone on & on & was very dull.
Nothing against the man personally as he seemed an ok guy,but the times I used to hear his show at work I had to turn it off,not just for my benefit but for others I work with as well.
Also,his voice was about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Credit where credit is due though as he believed in what he played,and had a passion for it.
