Anybody else a fan of Top of the Pops?

Just for a change in pace, some David Essex.
Not many have heard this one...

That's really nice- I do like DE but have more heard stuff like Rock On and I'm Gonna Make You a Star, etc. Probably the teeny-bopper stuff ;)

I just love Ballroom Blitz!! :D

(Don't know how many times I've belted that out at the top of my voice. :))

Don't know what Top of the Pops is- is that like Countdown, etc.?

yes, yes and yes!

I only heard the Peter Sarstedt song the other day - have it on my iTunes- but didn't get around to posting that here. Did he have any other hits or was he a one-hit wonder?
And I think I quoted 'those were the days my friend' just yesterday, which had me humming as I was typing the words :D

I hate to admit it but I have 60's and 70's music nearly spewing out of my brain.

I used to know all the names of songs and be able to match them with the singers in the 80s- but it's almost all gone.. though I think I can remember those things better than I can remember my kids' names sometimes. :oops: I got my daughters' names mixed up a few times today :(

Haha- that's a real bugger if you aren't going to the concert, isn't it? :(

We had a meeting at Etihad on a Tuesday pm, footy related, but shocking timing.

Yeah, this is a classic from top of the pops.

I used to listen to it on BBC radio. Thanks to Youtube, I have been watching every episode, tragic aren't I?

Vinyl is king!

I've got my vinyls hidden away- hid them from my kids 20 years ago because my son used to break the needle off my record player whenever I had my music out. Have never fixed it up since. :( As long as my hubby doesn't chuck them down the back shed, I think they'll survive. ;)
 
Here's not a very well known band form the early 70s, this particular track has a nice Abbey Road kind of sound to it.

Neil Young one of my all time favourites.
Click to expand...
I went on a 2 week excursion up to Alice Springs with a busload of Uni students many years ago and I was the only person who brought music along. Sadly for them, I think I had 4 Neil Young tapes, 1 Simon and Garfunkel and another couple... lol Just remembered- another was Tom Waits' Heart Attack and Vine album.

One of my friends hated Neil Young, though, and said his music was 'carrot bum' music- when I asked why, he said because NY sounded as if he sang with a carrot up his bum. Funnily, I've never forgotten that ;)
