Peel Again - a List

It occurred to me that people in the States may not know how important John Peel was, as he didn't broadcast in the States. If you can imagine a situation where 90% of music coming out of Britain in the 60's and 70's didn't exist, then you get some idea of how significant Peels attitude was.
Other new music he introduced us all to was American, like Love, some was Deutsch like Can, he was a broad church of the new.
Even though he carried on to the present day championing music from many genres, he was most seminal in the 60's and 70's, and on into the new music revolution of the post 70's period in the UK. So, listing a few groups we may never have heard of without him, here's a general list off the top of [my] several head[s]:
