Anyone watching?
Really enjoying this, and I like how they are placing the music in context of current events at that time.

Oooh what channel? i'm watching the F1 Qualifying but will have a look. The answer to the question is a big fat-'obviously'!

Yes, I am! It's taking me right back.

lollipoprainbow · 06/11/2021 20:49

Yes I'm loving this series so far

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 20:52

They all look so young though Shock

Sparklingbrook · 06/11/2021 20:56

This lot are very serious 80s people aren't they? Grin I was to be found in the more poppy section.

Jellykat · 06/11/2021 20:59

God i remember it all like it was yesterday.. still got the New Order and Cocteau twins on vinyl Smile

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 20:59

I'm loving itGrinI was thinking that they've got the 'proper' 80s music on, the stuff i as listening to, rather than the poppy stuff that normally is in these throwback shows!

Love a bit of Cocteau Twins.

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 21:01

I miss listening to John peels weird and wonderful sessions

Sparklingbrook · 06/11/2021 21:01

Nah, I'm going back to the F1 qualifying I think. I'll come back later and see if there's something more up my street.

BeyondMyWits · 06/11/2021 21:02

Same here, much more my style ... forgot how much I loved Tracy Chapman and hated The Smiths...Grin

It's brilliant.

Absolutely awesome music. John Peel is a bloody legend.

Jellykat · 06/11/2021 21:06

Bloody love Ian Brown, weird choice i know..

"Likes the Cocteau Twins" used to be shorthand in my place of birth for "gone to university and turned into a right twat". I was more of a Communards / Erasure gay club bopster.

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 21:08

The Pixies!!!!

Probably right.

I loved The Communards and Erasure too though. Not sure where that leaves me HmmGrin

TrevorFountain · 06/11/2021 21:18

You would have been my club friend, @RobertSmithsHairbrush and then we would go home and listen to a bit of Lou Reed Grin

DrEllie · 06/11/2021 21:23

Hit the North!

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 21:26

Haha @TrevorFountain you are so right!

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 21:29

@SparklingBrook you can come back now - it's moved onto hip hop!

Jellykat · 06/11/2021 21:29

Beastie boys, classic!

RobertSmithsHairbrush · 06/11/2021 21:31

Beastie Boys - so many VWs getting the VW badges nicked 😆
