Apposite track for this thread given the past week.
Top Of The Pops 1982 - BBC4
458 of 549
And another I bought... though it took me until the 2010's to buy 'Eye Of The Tiger' and that was on download.
Difficult to believe Rockers' Revenge didn't do a video for Walking On Sunshine. That would have been unthinkable even 12 months later I think.

'Burning Heart' was their theme to Rocky 4 in 1986. Got to No.5 I think. Brilliant track.

Wait till Rocky 4 in 1985! 'Burning Heart' is their masterpiece!

With a different lead singer.
Depeche Mode, Culture Club, Evelyn King and Rockers Revenge good, Musical Youth ok, the rest not so much.

Hmmm, I'd probably go for a generous 5, most of that for 'Leave in Silence' but a point deducted for the terrible video!

Yes, the guy who sang 'Burning Heart' died.
I was pleased to see John Peel presenting tonight's show. By a process of exclusion I'd convinced myself that it would be David Jensen again. I don't mind him but he's presented rather a lot of editions recently.
A pity Richard Skinner, Tommy Vance, Steve Wright and Mike Read seem to have disappeared from the show at the moment.

Not sure about Holiday but I agree that it was a bit like Lucky Star which was from 1984.

And Tony Blackburn would be making a long awaited return for the next edition but we're not allowed to see that one.
