Remember them at LR back in the 70s.

I thought Drake didn't let the Spanish impinge:"Don't worry, we have plenty of time to finish our game and still beat the Spaniards".

Debbie Harry and Chris Stein are QPR supporters. FACT. They confirmed this a couple of years ago on 'Something for the Weekend', when asked by that Watford/Scum supporting knob that used to be on Soccer AM.

If so, most of the bands were pretty awful, and this confirms my view that there is no more bizarre phenomenon than 70s nostalgia.

Seeing Blondie in June in Dalby Forest and strangely enough playing Parallel Lines in the car currently. Posting that video is probably the greatest contribution I've seen from Holloway on this message board

I saw her play in Kew Gardens ( ) a couple of year's ago - she was excellent and I still fancied her.

This. I agree that 70s music is an oxymoron - but there are a couple of decent numbers in this edition of TOTP especially Ms Harry!!

I know it's all about personal taste etc but even if you're personally not a fan, I don't see how anyone could describe Ian Dury, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Kate Bush as awful.

I thought Kate Bush was awful. Her voice weally gwates on me. And off the top of my head I can only recall 3 of her songs, one of which was a Peter Gabriel song that she duetted on.

Here are the bands listed for the Top of the Pops 1978: Big Hits program:

Blondie — Picture This
Brotherhood of Man — Figaro
Kate Bush — Wuthering Heights
Odyssey — Native New Yorker
Elvis Costello & The Attractions — (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea
Manfred Mann's Earth Band — Davy's On The Road Again
John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John — Summer Nights (Legs & Co)
The Boomtown Rats — Rat Trap
The Motors — Airport
Dan Hill — Sometimes When We Touch
Sham 69 — Angels With Dirty Faces
Yvonne Elliman — If I Can't Have You
Electric Light Orchestra — Mr. Blue Sky
Bob Marley & The Wailers — Satisfy My Soul
Chic — Le Freak
Jilted John — Jilted John
Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams — Too Much, Too Little, Too Late
Ian Dury & The Blockheads — What A Waste
10cc — Dreadlock Holiday
Rose Royce — Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Boney M — Rasputin

I was a big fan of Blondie and Elvis Costello (saw him live in 1980), but there was also a lot of dross around. Punk was a reaction to the general blandness, and while I didn't like the blandness I didn't really like punk either. As you say, personal taste, but the main feeling I had at the time was that the music of the 70s, with some exceptions, was completely overshadowed by the music of the 60s, which seemed much more grand somehow.

Of course the world has changed since then, and it's a bit easier to look around on Youtube and elsewhere and find something you like (in my case everything from Latin music to Korean music of the 70s).

Agree re Wendy James. Saw her at Brixton Academy. Very hot and sweaty. And an R's fan to boot.

she is an immense talent, more noted for her albums than singles, kate was a musician and although I liked Blondie and Wendy James, they were basically eye candy

Debbie Harry was every boys farking drem back in 1978. Kate Bush was well, kate bush, she'd have got it for sure. I cant believe no one has mentioned Kim Wilde, from a couple of years later. I spilled a pint on her n the green room at TOTP, completely hammered, I had no idea who it was, was just apologising profusely and insisted I bought her a drink at the bar and left her my number for the dry cleaning bill. All my mates thought I 'd pulled. I genuinely had no idea who I was talking to, despite the heavies moving in...bless her she ushered them away.
Them were the days...!
