Can someone explain to me again why it is costly now in 2013 to show the film clips - but back in 1978 it wasn't!!?
The clips were released as promotional - so there may well have been some relaxation of cash needed. They were also seen EVERYWHERE (or on TOTP and Swap Shop/Tiswas).
Not understanding how there coud have been a grease cip shown originally, as David Jenson quite clearly sais 'to illustrate the nation's number one single, legs and co.' Unless theres a very clever bit of editing going on.
Week 1 used the Legs and Co footage, when it was climbing. From Week 2, the Beeb had received the promo footage (or half of the last reel of the film)...
A simple splice after ONJ's "tell me about it, stud" after the piano vamp was all it needed...
HOW many of us have it on DVD, and how many times has Channel 4 aired the film?
if u think musizc is just Olly Murs thats why you like this old rubiish. right now on shuffle ive got
skillex
bassnectar

PS layZboyz i wrote EMFDYSI not EMFDYWI guess you cant tell the diff - BOOMSLAP
OK - let's see now.
skillex - Electronic house etc... so that goes all the way back to Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder..
bassnectar - Basically techno and house, which drills back to sampled Philly soul, disco etc - again, Chic, Moroder, Kraftwerk...
nero - Orbital... which can be tracked back to.. guess who - Giorgio Moroder!
zomboy - drills back to techno - which again - is funk, Moroder, Kraftwerk... and guess whose basslines would have been sampled? Probably Bernard Edwards among others...
skream - oh do I bother? Probably find it can track its origin all the way back to "From here to Eternity" etc...
if i want to chill its cinematic orchesrta or robbie glasper - Basically free Jazz? So the stuff that back in the 60s led on to prog rock?
:yawn: Lemme see - I think there's a track that describes it perfectly...
"next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways it's still rock and roll to me"- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eAQa4MOGkE
First to find a 70's or 80's sample in one of the above's tracks, gotta be a touch of Nile Rogers somewhere?
It might make your ears bleed trying!

its all very well saying where it comes from but its different innit. do you spend all day listening to beethoven. just because therez a road and a destination doesnt mean the journey isnt rubbish.

Grow up, we don't go on a forum to attack your music, so leave us alone to discuss what we like. Actually bands that appeared on last night's show like Black Sabbath still have a huge following now, and not just among older people.

THinking about it - weren't Black Sabbath part of the 2nd British Invasion?

I'd say they were the first wave of metal bands to conquer the states along with Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin and the founder of the darker metal sound that remains popular to this day. Actually last night's must have been one of Ozzy's last performances with Sabbath as he quit shortly afterwards.
By 1978 the old wave were on the way out. Deep Purple had finished in 1976, Black Sabbath were to undergo three changes of lead singer and fade away, and Led Zeppelin would break up two years later. Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake were like the in between bands who missed the first wave, OK I know Coverdale was in Deep Purple after 1973, but he wasn't lead singer in the band's biggest era. 1979, of course, was to see NWOBHM appear, the second wave of bands who would pop up regularly on TOTP in the early 80s.
But Joyce_Egg - that is a sweeping statement saying it's all rubbish!!
Surely there is something from 1978 or the late 70s you must like??
I mean - I wasn't around in the 60's but I can appreciate The Beatles and I think The Who were wonderful! - So there must be something you like!?!
I don't rate dance/trance music much - but I do have the odd thing I like in my collection! - You see - you can't rubbish ALL of it!!
Re one of Joyce's preferred acts - I think it's quite telling that the animated Skrillex was playing out Kool and the Gang's Celebration in Wreck-it Ralph!

no i'm not disagreeing with you, showaddywaddy were good guys but their look and style seemed out of place for the 80's thats all...and give me the 'normal' totp audiences from the 70's any day over this lot :sleep:
Retro got a bit more sophisticated then. Rock Sharp for example, and also Harvey and the Wallbangers. Yet Shakin' Stevens went pop.
No, I do indeed get your point. They must have looked really out of place by then.:)
respeck i hear you. i wont post again even if some of you try to get in my face again
Mind you your knowledge of Nile Rogers suggest you could be a good guy, Chic were very big at this time and disco, of course, is a distant ancestor of the dance music you like now. Actually if you like disco, the 1978 era should suit you, just record the show and skip past the punks( I can't stand them either), the heavy rockers, the ballads and the fifties revivalists.
What Joyce Egg doesn't appreciate, which I'll put down to their youngness is,if they are basically saying that music, other than their own personal likes, is rubbish and deriding the people who do like other music then is her ideal scenario that we should all love her favourite music? Do they really want 50 year olds, 60 years, 70 year olds etc listening to their music, going to their gigs, crushing on their music crushes (if they have any). When I was her age I was glad my parents and other 'oldies' were not into my music. Rather than 'dissing' 1978 or whatever years she doesn't like she should be glad it keeps us away from her 'scene'. Well that's my view on it anyway:D .

I don't know what's in the Top 20 now and don't care. It's not what I'm into.
i was randomly checking out some of their minor early 80's 'hits' a couple of months ago and was struck by how bizarre they looked performing this on their last ever TOTP appearance in sep '82, they seem totally out of place amongst the new style 'paid to dance' audience :eek:

The poster concerned appears to be coming on a thread just to insult the posters here.
Yes, lots of people refused to buy the Marshal Hain single after seeing him dance to it. That's also the reason they never had another big hit.

Well - hip-hop goes all the way back to bebop...

If you're going to pretend you're a member of the "yoof community" you're going to have to be more convincing than that. :rolleyes:

If and when BBC Four get round to airing these 80s shows I'll need sunglasses to watch them.
Youth of today eh - never have to sit there in horror as Val Doonican or Cilla murder your favourite song on some crappy chat show:o
