and it was those gems that made the all difference. They are still around but do not, generally, make the charts anymore. |

Oh dear, 1981 was the year of Oh Superman, Birdie Song and Stars on 45!! But it did have the wonderful Shakin Stevens, dear old Cliff and the spine tingling Vienna by Ultravox. |

1981 wasn't much better, and that's one of my all-time favourite years 
The year of Adam and the Ants, the Human League, "Ghost Town" and "O Superman" and he plays the flipping (sic) Nolans! |

Over the weekend, we have developed a Classic Gold listening habit over brekkie.
Where on earth are they finding this stuff?
I`m hearing minor obscure hits from the 80`s all the time, very nostalgic and indeed enjoyable but are they a lower PPL rate to play or something?
I seem to recall that one of our posters was a Classic Gold guy and we would love to know how the station works.
The other thing I noticed this morning, was when they played a Gloria Estefan track.
She always had a superb band and they worked very hard, but on "The Rythm(?) Is Going to Get you", it actually sounds like a bunch of loops and samples.
Obviously very high profile and a wonderful lady(gorgeous), but did they actually really recoup or live on the credit that the high budget industry supplies?
I`m sure Tony James has a view on this issue. |

Well, after broadside and poster27, it may be that we are simply suffering the dreaded "they didn't make it like this in our day" disease!
Having said that, Dale Winton played the chart from 1970 yesterday and it was awful - full of rubbish (some gems though - Bridge Over Troubled Water... Spirit In The Sky...) |
