Looking forward to them getting to years I actually remember... late 80s was a pretty shit era for pop (SA&W production line etc), but it’s shit I remember fondly from childhood

It was all downhill from 1981, when I turned 15, lol

Yep, The Fall, Wedding Present, The Cure, The Smiths (long before Morrissey rather ironically turned into a gammon) among others were in their prime.
I was listening to and travelling around the country watching The Wonder Stuff and Pop Will Eat Itself.
Halcyon days.

With the Neds, that was when little old Stourbridge had a scene to rival Manchester.Maldini wrote: ↑30 Jun 2018, 18:02 Yep, The Fall, Wedding Present, The Cure, The Smiths (long before Morrissey rather ironically turned into a gammon) among others were in their prime.

Saw the Wonder Stuff last year and it's not the same band - a bit too violin orientated - although A Wish Away still sounded magnificent and they finished with Ten Trenches Deep, still sounding punchy. It took me back as only music can. I'm sure the Stuffies and the Neds are touring this year ?
George Best by The Wedding Present. Now there's an album Now 30 years old
I never did get The Fall but I would probably say The Smiths kickstarted the whole indie scene as we know it, after punk, post punk and the C30/C60 scene.

The best TOTP years are past now on the re-runs (are they about 83 now?). The ones c.79-81 were excellent when Sky+d so you could FF the dreary ones and the end of Duran sq songs once you were done laughing. The late 80s indie years were great for music but doubt they featured as strongly on TOTP as the post punk new wave and ska type stuff beloved of my yoof.

Re: Which MJ Song do you Listen most of the Time?
And now we’re there with 1987... watched the documentary on the year, featuring memories from such ‘87 luminaries as Carol Decker, Kim Appleby, the bloke from Curiosity Killed The Cat, and the now internet-immortalised Rick Astley... brought it all back, the time I first discovered the “pop charts”!
There was actually a mention of the indie stuff and how they tried to squeeze it into TOTP. Also talk of how they couldn’t get American artists like Jacko on and they were trying to resist becoming a video show - on one occasion MJ’s management wouldn’t even provide the video when he was number 1, and they seemingly just closed with the #2 song instead!

Billie Jean his best song, for me
I think Off the Wall was wildly overrated. I bought it at the time but after several years of not listening to it, gave it to a charity shop. (Probably could have sold it for £20 or something on eBay, what with it being a vinyl original)
