1979 Day on that 6 Music

[Feathers]

i hate VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR ...... my nephew used to play it over and over and over

Really? Brings back good memories for me.

It's at the top of my list together with Brass In Pocket.

I worked in Woolworth's in 1979 and whenever I was on the record counter, those two are ones that I turned up extra loud until the manager made me turn volume down (a regular occurence!)

They were happy days

Why do they have playlists foisted upon them?

Why can't the presenters just play what they want?

If only there was a radio station where presenters could say what they want and play what they wanted ? ...

One track in that list sticks out like a sore thumb. The prog-rock hippies had still not been entirely routed by 1979 sadly
