[Music] Your Favourite DJ of All Time

[Ringmer Seagull]

40 years ago, the voice of Sunday night radio 1...
The Ranking Miss P... Smooth as velvet. .

Beat me to it !. Loved her show.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

John Peel

End of thread.

There is (or was) a website where you could download thousands of hours of his programmes, recorded on 8 track by listeners. I have thousands of h... (you can guess the rest).

Why? Because he played f***ing autistic music that moved my soul. Since the perfumed garden, through the 70s till the very end.

For my musical tastes it has to be
John Peel, Andy Peebles & Jo Whiley.

Johnie Walker

Lunchtime when I came home from school for dinner in 67-69. Seem to recall he played a lot of Alice Cooper and Mott the Hoople, before either of them became famous (i.e., when they were shit).

Incidentally, Alice Cooper, his singing and his songs sound to me like what RDZ is to Potter: an upgrade (in Cooper's case, on dreary John Lennon. Controversial? No. Fact.).

Mark Radcliffe on the graveyard shift Radio one

Stuart Henry on Luxembourg, listened as a kid fading in and out but some great suff there in the late 70's/early 80's

I loved Emporer Rosko from the 60s starting on Caroline.

Cerys could read the Periodic Table and give me palpitations.

She’d probably give you a massive electron

Mark Radcliffe, he did a show on Radio 5 years ago (before it became a talk station), out on blue six I think it was called, loved him ever since, he's great with Stuart Maconie. Special mention to Nemone and Amy Lame, how is she on the graveyard shift?

Loved Timbo... was it a Sunday night show on local commercial radio? recall the jingle and pretty sure I had a badge.

Timbo - that brings back some childhood memories! I remember listening to him on Radio Mercury.

 

[The Clamp]

In the past - John Peel

These days - Henry Rollins and Guy Garvey .

Guy Garvey’s Sunday show is sublime.

Rollins’ encyclopaedic knowledge of music is a blast.

If you've got a massive electron you'd need a Bigo Atom:-

 

[Dave the OAP]

Emperor Rosco on radio Luxembourg

 

[Comrade Sam]

Tommy Boyd on radio Sussex in the '80s. All that talk gets in the way of enjoying music. Meanwhile John Peels contribution was beyond just DJ.
