Can only think of a few:

The Not Sensibles - Gary Bushell's Band of the Week ("John Peel played our record, he said it was out of sight.")

Tractor - Ravenscroft's 13 Bar Boogie

...also, songs which John Peel has played on:

Third Ear Band - Larkrise to Candleford (I think, the one with Jew's Harp on Alchemy.)

Tyrannosaurus Rex - the spoken word track on My People Were Fair.

The Faces - Maggie May (mandolin... maybe)

I think Thee Headcoats 'We Hate The NME' mentions Peel.

D'ye ken John Peel with his coat so gay
D'ye ken John Peel at the break of day
D'ye ken John Peel when he's far away
With his hounds and his horn in the morning

I was gonna say there'd be a prize for the first person to do that.

A winner is me!

There's some Afrobeat track that goes "yeh yeh yeh Andy Kershaw John Peel" but I have no idea what it is.

Paul Burch's new, underrated album, East to West, has "John Peel," a true story about an afternoon spent with Peel, who was a fan.
