Tom Ravenscroft: An obvious choice because he's Peel's son, but Tom Ravenscroft has risen through the ranks of standing in for the likes of Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and Gideon Coe to bring a sense of of experinmentalism and imagination to the airwave - the likes of which Peel would be very proud of.
Gilles Peterson: He lives and breathes music and anything goes - just the way Peel would have wanted.
John Kennedy: Regardless of genre, boundaries, origin or trends, XFM's Kennedy has dedicated his life to bringing the best of the underground overground. That's true Peel spirit.
Steve Lamacq: A god of modern radio, Lammo (as Peel himself nicknamed him) could be seen as the Peel of the 21st Century - arguably the most influential radio voice and source of old favourites, future classics and fresh talent.
Radcliffe and Maconie: Whether they're together as a dynamic duo or apart as revered experts in their own right, RadMac tower above most others when it comes to musical authority from throughout the ages.
Huw Stephens: Bringing new music to an all new generation, Stephens bring a touch of integrity to a world awash with pure filth.
Mary Anne Hobbes: Britain's favourite rock chick as well as being a lover of all things weird and 'dub-y', Hobbes has always been an uncompromising presence in the music scene.
Annie Nightingale: That's Annie Nightingale MBE to you mere mortals. Making history as the first female presenter on BBC Radio 1 and working as the station's longest-serving presenter (even ahead of Mr Peel), she's the highest ranking in all Radio Royalty and is still bringing incredible sounds, brilliant mixes and majestic mixes to the masses.
Zane Lowe: Some can't see past his over-exuberant presenting style, but those who can will surely recognise nothing but a pure passion for new music.
Lauren Laverne: With impeccable banter, sweet Northern tones and unparalleled cultural wisdom, Laverne brings the calibre a intelligence and charm to the daytime radio that Peel would surely be a fan of.
Annie Mac: Besides from her brilliant radio shows, our Annie certainly knows how to kick the shit out of a mixtape, a festival slot and her own-curated live events.
Rob Da Bank: WHERE IS THIS MAN'S KNIGHTHOOD? OI, WE'RE TALKING TO YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.
Edith Bowman: Across BBC Radio One and her Saturday show on 6 Music, the wonderful Edith became a master of curating the best of what culture has to offer into pure aural delight. Her time with Radio One has come to an end sadly, but we can't wait to see what she does next.
Mark Riley: If sessions are your thing, then Mark Riley is the only DJ you need in your life. Bringing stunning live performances from both new bands and established acts, Riley's show on 6 music needs to become a regular addition to your schedule.
Phil Taggart and Alice Levine: Bringing new music to a younger audience, Phil and Alice's late-night show on Radio 1 was brilliant for breaking new bands. The duo finished in this slot earlier this month, but their respective solo shows are equally as good for discovering new bands.
