I liked that he would play everything ranging from electronic stuff, drum & bass etc through to industrial and metal. He was truly open minded about music. Back in the 90's his Radio 1 show was followed by Mary Ann Hobbs' The Breezeblock. Another source of great sessions from the electronic music world. She is now on BBC 6 Music, which is probably where Peel would be if he were still with us.

His son Tom is on 6 Music (John Peel's name was John Ravenscroft) and has a good ear.

I never knew that. It does explain why I enjoy his show on 6Music though.
