John Peel and Tommy Vance all gone within a few months of each other. John used to do 10 - 12 during the week and Tommy did the "Friday Rock Show" from 10 - 12 on a Friday evening. It is probably hard to estimate the impact they had upon a generation, or even several generations.

The greatest voiceover man ever has left us ...... who else could touch him for preposterously OTT adverst for the likes of Rainbow, Whitesnake et al.
Like Peel, passionate about music, and like Peel, still working when he passed away. And a much of 30-somethings are discussing him on a car website ...... he touched a good number of people, and you can't say fairer than that.
RIP Tommy

Tommy inspired many people and some of them like myself got in to the music biz because of him. He will be very sadly missed

My abiding memory is of him doing the chart show in theighties and introducing Iron Maiden doing Run to the hills and the Goombay dance band doing Seven Tears, still have the tape.
The good DJ's are taken and we get left with Sara ***......
Not that I wish any ill to Sara ***, just that she doesnt broadcast ever again.

If you can't find anything nice to say about him, it might be better to keep quiet
