    They were cutting edge in their early days, hard as that is to believe nowadays. They were almost Prog Rock, in fact their early stuff is Prog.

    A friend of mine gave me a lend of his Queen tape and that was it for me. I was hooked after that.

    It is such a pity the Old Grey Whistle Test was finished before I was born because I have seen a lot of footage of it and it really was a big deal for bands to appear on it.

    I absolutely loathed ToTP so OGWT was the higlight of the week for me, I saw all the iconic performances on there, Alice, The Skids, New York Dolls et al. I used to record the ones I wanted on a tape recorder.

    Proof if ever it was ever needed that the charts are made up of 95% ****e no matter what the decade.

    I've watched a couple of the old ToTPs on BBC4. Dreadful stuff. And those ****ing dancers! Ruby Flipper? What the **** was that all about? <laugh>

    Everyone says that about the period they grew up in. Look at ER. He had to grow up listening to Alma Cogan and Engelbert Humperdinck on the Light Service. Poor ****.
