horribleblob   213 #13 Posted September 24, 2014 Ranking Miss P – on DBC (Dread Broadcasting Corporation circa 1980). David Rodigan – Radio London, Capitol Radio, BBC1Xtra, R2. Mark Radcliffe and Mark Riley (Mark and Lard) – together or separately on R1, R2, 6Music. The late Charlie Gillett – BBC World Service. Andy Kershaw – BBC whatever. Oh yes, and our very own, dj melthebell.  Personally, I prefer DJs who play two or three tracks, tell the listeners what they were, and then play three more tracks, with very little chat in-between, apart from anecdotes about the musicians or the tracks they've played.  If I'd had the pleasure of hearing Wolfman Jack, I'm sure he'd have figured up there too.

alternageek   10 #16 Posted September 24, 2014 uncle peelys my main musical influence along with my dad  I think everyone owes a bit of their musical taste to peel. Growing up a teen in NY, was envious of the Peel sessions everyone got here. The only way to listen to them was on bootlegs and sharing tapes amongst friends.

donuticus   10 #20 Posted September 26, 2014 Which disc jockey/s are and were your favourites? I sometimes listen to Chris Evans but in the 90s it was Nick Abbott - where is he now?  I wanted to listen to Chris Tarrant but couldn't access Capitol Radio  I'm not keen on the chit-chat which goes on where the resident DJ natters to a whole lot of backroom staff for too long.  Nick Abbott is on LBC.
