    ’C’est La Vie’ by B*Witched.

    Fantastic pop record and you knows it.

    ’Carnaval De Paris’ by Dario G, incorporating a musical instrumental from every country taking part in France 98.

    But where’s the Uilleann pipes?

    Channel surfing and Hendrix live comes on. What a time to be alive.

    Rendez Vous 98 by Jean Michel Jarre was the ITV tune for France 98 this summer.

    What a cracker that was. Don't think it charted high, but should have if people had taste.

    Football’s coming home.

    Legs & Co. with all that scaffolding up.

    And not a hard hat in sight.

    W.A.S.P.!

    Good call 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,802 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Could be worth a look tonight…

    Newsflash - banning a record only makes people want to hear it more.

    Womp womp!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,802 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    About time too!

    In all these banned records programmes, it never mentions Judge Dread who had all his singles banned in the UK, including some which got to the Top 20 during the 1970s.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,802 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Crazy to think Destiny’s Child and Matthew Marsden collaborated together around this time.

    Nice of Matthew to give the struggling band a leg-up. 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,802 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Mansun - hands down my favourite band with a bass player called Stove.

    Rendez Vous 98 got up to 12.

    The BBC theme Pavane made top 20.

    A heavy enough classical number. It was nice, but no Nessun Dorma.

    And people wonder why riots happened all across the UK in 1981. 😐



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,861 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Riots inspired by Tweets.

    Plus ca change



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,802 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Toyah.

    (shudder)

    Trevor Horn on bass for (and producing) Dollar.

    Watching at home, Martin Fry of ABC thinking, ‘Hmmm, that sound could work on our new record’.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,467 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    And a clear breach of the No Team Colours rule had Five in the Top 10.

    Along with Fat Les, Baddiel & Skinner.
