It took me a long time to forgive Martin Kemp and the other guy for messing up Melchester Rovers. I think Roy Race was on acid when he signed them

There was no COMMUNICATION in defence...the Rovers needed a LIFELINE to win...TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT, it was a poor performance.

They were useless at setting up a defensive wall for free kicks, the opposition shots kept getting through the barricades ...

Can I put Simon Bates in? He always gave me the creeps.

It's only from watching the recent TOTP reruns that I've discovered Tears for Fears first album The Hurting, and it is really excellent.

I don't think the backing singers in shorts will look back on this with any great nostalgia.

Welsh Megaman

The audience are thinking 'WTF?'

Are they dildos?

Tony Hadley...able to provide smooth soul vocals, and by the looks of it, a reasonable mortgage quote

As soon as I heard 'Rocks' I said 'Ah here'. Brutal.

On yer bike Dave Grohl, Josh Homme is the coolest guy in rock. Surprised to see him in this all the same.

Snake Plisken

Screamadelica a great Album remember seeing Primal Scream at Feile 92! Good times!

So disappointed with the 'all new' Sounds Of The Sixties with Tony Blackburn

What made it so great was to hear the more obscure b-sides/album tracks/US-only releases.

Thankfully, Brian Mathew said he'll be back on Radio 2 soon.

There's a line between being influenced by The Stones or being a complete parody - as well as the album being so over-produced, I still cringe when I listen to it


Plus who could forget this (myth?)...

Primal Scream thought Luton was not "rock 'n' roll" enough!

Primal Scream were scheduled to play Top of the Pops in November 1994, despite the fact their most recent single, I'm Gonna Cry Myself Blind, had not got into the charts.

Their management had arranged for Luton Airport to remain open longer than usual so the band could fly in after playing in Dublin. Apparently Luton wasn't "rock 'n' roll" enough, and the band refused to make the trip. They were banned from appearing on the show for the next three years.

It's on far too early for me on a Saturday morning.
Cannot understand why they did that.
And Dermot O'Leary was perfect for the afternoon.
Why go changing things. Us oldies like things the same.
