Top Of The Pops 1980 - BBC4

Yay, The Buggles again

Boz_Lowdownl · 12/03/15 - 20:37

Atomic - what a superb return to form for Blondie after the uninspiring Dreaming and Union City Blue.

SgtRock · 12/03/15 - 20:37

Just in case I'm the only one who's noticed - the opening song was meant to be "Hot Dog" by Shakin' Stevens. Why on earth was that cut out?

valkay · 12/03/15 - 20:37

Scott Tracey,:D or is it Brains.?

Straker · 12/03/15 - 20:38

Recent Buggles gig was a bit of a damp squib by all accounts.

Horn is still a God though.

Robbie01 · 12/03/15 - 20:38

Four records in a row I like... 'Living In The Plastic Age' is great. I love the chorus!

valkay · 12/03/15 - 20:39

Playing keyboards in his Marigolds.

Straker · 12/03/15 - 20:39

Still sounds like the future.

That sound bizarre... I wonder why it was replaced

Eraserhead · 12/03/15 - 20:39

Living in the Plastic Age / Looking only half my age

Still relevant 35 years later

Bit harsh.

"They sent the heart police to put you under cardiac arrest."

Infuriatingly clever.

Off the same album as well, the only other track I liked from the Eat to the Beat album was Slow Motion along the with Atomic and Dreaming.

We are in for a treat in the next few weeks

Straker · 12/03/15 - 20:40

Hard to believe there was a time when Annie Lennox was not a self-regarding bore.

Torch81 · 12/03/15 - 20:41

This editions top notch so far.

Power pop, (possibly!) from The Tourists. Always loved this one.

Eraserhead · 12/03/15 - 20:41

Superb show so far

TheWayItIs · 12/03/15 - 20:41

Already, last week's show is but a distant memory.

Robbie01 · 12/03/15 - 20:41

'So Good To Be Back Home' is a decent song but the worst of the songs featured so far.

Straker · 12/03/15 - 20:42

Live vocal from Fern.

Jason C · 12/03/15 - 20:42

This performance has been featured a million times on TOTP2.

TheWayItIs · 12/03/15 - 20:43

Top Of The Pop Orchestra murderers....

Slow Motions a brilliant song, should have been a single too!

Thankfully!

Not a bad show at all so far. This Fearne Kinney song has always been one of my guilty pleasures

It does seem strange, especially as the next performance would never be broadcast (it was presented by DLT), and they have included songs such as the Buggles & the Tourists which have already been shown in several previous shows.

SgtRock · 12/03/15 - 20:43

This sounds like a pretty poor attempt from the TOTP Orchestra.

Hey there!
