Shoplifters of The World Unite

That's a belter of a song!

Aretha & George. That’s a couple of decent voices there.

[Chicken Run Supreme]

I did enjoy Peel hosting TOTP back in the day, the subtle jibes at acts he didn’t much care for
RIP JP

I was away at University 1984-87 so The Smiths were made for me. My only regret is that I never saw them live. To make up for that I’ve seen Morrissey half a dozen times

Tuned in just in time for Frank Spencer and Gizmo.

Same, never saw them live and have also seen Morrissey several times, and more recently saw Johnny Marr a couple of times, who was very good.

In case anyone was wondering, Simon Bates was 34 when this episode was recorded.

I always assumed that through a quirk of nature he was born a 50 year old and never aged.

The Passions? I have no memory of this band or song but it’s quite cool.

That was one of the great one hit wonders of the 80s.

Also, I think Fred Wedlock now works for Speedy Hire. Someone from there came into my work today who looked and sounded just like him, only 40 years older.

Also, Rapture still sounds amazing.

Just switched on to 30 seconds of Kenickie. Crap music but Laverne was seriously hot back then.

Now Republica. I still intend to marry Saffron.

[dasnutnock3]

Cathy Dennis was also hot.

[dasnutnock3]

Christ, back to back renditions of Katrina and the Waves. Mute ON

[dasnutnock3]

Seahorses with their standard issue northwest indie band haircuts.

Jo Whiley looking good

[Chicken Run Supreme]

I have no recollection whatsoever of this George Michael song

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Jay Kay, talented geezer for sure but an absolute weapon

One of my favourite you tube clips is him getting a Glasgow kiss from a photographer he verbally abused while pissed up, Khama is sweet sometimes

[dasnutnock3]

Ha ha Blackstreet. Was a great album that.

[dasnutnock3]

Man, Barlow was a shocking solo artist wasn’t he.

[dasnutnock3]

Kate Bush’s debut. Singing live. No wonder everyone lost their minds, what an incredible first hit.
