I mean, we had Mozart, Techno, Rock'n'Roll and everything in music history, but the 80s were the best ever

My claim to fame: John Peel talked about me on his Sunday programme in the 90s. My other half wrote in (which listeners were encouraged to do) and told him that when I'd lived with my parents I built a full sized Tardis in my bedroom. Like the man who built a boat in his basement, I made no provision for ever getting it out again.

Can't believe it. We are introduced to Slave to Love. Suddenly it's nearly 40 years and still a favourite.

19, truly amazing track, very immigrant part of my history! And I especially love the remixes! ❤

I never used to like Jimmy Sommerville; (he wasn’t my “type” and the tenor voice turned me off). But tastes change.. Now when I hear him I understand and appreciate his voice; (it is really hard to control a voice like that, and he does it beautifully). And when I see him now I think he is actually very sexy. You go, Jimmy!!!

I never liked this duet - though always been a huge Marc Almond fan - but now almost 40 years later I love it. Yep, tastes change!

Thank you Paul for posting this but more so for all the amazing music during the 1980s with Dt rain, Carol Kenyon etc and the totps theme, born in 1971 you made the 1980s a special time.

Nice. Was this your own VHS recording of the show? I'm just trying to imagine you in the mid-80's: "quick, press record - I'm on TOTPS tonight!!" I still find it very sad that TOTP just isn't a 'thing' anymore...neither is caring about the pop charts. Something changed...the internet came along I suppose. Bit sad really.

Sadly Curtis Hairston died of kidney failure aged only 34.

Interesting times. Jimmy and Marc were not talked about as gay. Frigging obvious but it was still closet time.
