Top Of The Pops = Shite

 

BUT

 

The Tube = Top banana.

i remember it, why bring it back when there are a shit load of 24hr music channels on sky plus the net to listen to whatever you want when you want.

But music channels are simply choreographed and probably mimed performances. Top of the Pops was mimed for years, but they put a stop to that in the end.

 

For instance this live 1980 Dianno performance of Running Free on ToTP has to be the tamest they've ever done but at least it was real. Little known fact is that this was the first completely live performance on ToTP since The Who in 1972

 

 

Old Grey Whistle Test and The Tube for me

I think its more about nostalgia m8 - some may say why have a rusty old ford when you can have a modernish Audi, BM whatever. Personally I enjoyed some of the TOTP 2's...

Look at the young Messrs Harris and Murray.....

 

Cheers Vista that was great!!!!!

 

I love everything Maiden have done, but their first album still does it for me like no other. It was "Remember Tomorrow" that first got me in to them.

 

Going back to TOTP......I was definitely better with the live stuff. That's what was setting it apart from 24-hour music TV. But was U2 (a band I also love) performing outside in the beeb car-park a sign of overkill?

I'm afraid to say I went off them after Seventh Son. I thought No Prayer was ok, but Fear of the Dark was terrible and I couldn't name anything they did with Blaze Bailey at the helm.

 

Glad that Bruce is back, but once you've lost track of a band it's hard to catch up. Still, Number of the Beast will keep me rocking for decades

[jimbo]

Aha.......No Prayer and Fear of the Dark were my era, so I was wrapped up in those.....

 

The first Blaze album was pretty good (surprised me, as I thought without Bruce, it just wouldn't work).

 

To be brutally honest everything after that has gathered dust after a couple of listens. So I guess "love" is a bit strong. Maybe I should just save that for Zep.

 

The first four albums live in the car, so that's probably a good measure of where I'm at

 

Oh and Live after Death!

Remember it well! must say i prefered the whistle test with whispering Bob, off to see Black Sabb in a couple of weeks...

[Daggle]

It would be good to have TOTP's back, but imagine the shite that they would put on it, loads of rap artists like Jizzy Tissue and the like , what a load of crap.....
