Very well put. By the way - you spelt "periforal" wrong - but I prefer the way you spelt it. TOTP - Zindabaad! (Long live TOTP!) |
|
i used to love watching TOTP on thursday nights, with the unforgettable music by led zepplin at the beginning and end. memories ... |
|
Yeah, what you said. Seconded. |
|
I didn't realise that TOTP was still on... |
|
TOTP, for me, was always the place where you could point and laugh at some semi-famous plonkers miming to their own songs. It always was ridiculous, at pretty much every stage of its conception, and to be honest I don't think anyone's going to miss the latest incarnation in the slightest. Does anyone here even watch it anymore? *nods to blue witch* |
|
I'll always remember New Model Army performing the anti-drug anthem No Rest on TOTP in 85. They sang live, and all wore T-shirts with "Only Stupid Bastards Use Heroin", the middle word of which the Beeb in their wisdom made them cover up. But the performance was so energetic that it - and a friend lending me Hatful of Hollow the same spring - changed my musical world... |
|
TOTP has been shite for as long as I can remember... Can't believe it's still clinging on. It's the geriatric bedblocker of the TV schedules. |
|
Fabulous post. I agree with all ten points. It just shows the difference in relative importance between music today and when TOTP was in its prime. GJ |
|
Of course you can sing along with number 1s these days! They're always covers of the songs we sang along with first time round. |
|
zed said "unforgettable music by led zepplin at the beginning and end." Although it was a Zep song, it was performed by CCS. I bought the single at the time and, for a cover, it is excelent. |
|
I didn't watch TOTP all those years ago because I hadn't yet been formulated as a person or even a plan (presumably of course). However, I have just found the site and reading through it has certainly passed the time at work this morning. Top work! |
