Chart Music: the Top Of The Pops Podcast

#69 (Pt 2): 27.12.74 – The Ramadan #1 of 1974

David Stubbs, Taylor Parkes and Al Needham begin their odyssey into the second part of TOTP’s review of ’74, but not before another few rounds of Pantomime Horse and having to deal with the rampaging egos of Noel Edmonds and The Living Gnasher Badge. The first #1 single that ever enraged Al is up first, then John Denver bangs on about his missus eight years before he ends up taking a chainsaw to their bed, followed by world-class mic-standsmanship by Alvin, and George McCrae gets into even more trouble with his missus as he emotes over a turkey carcass, and we don’t. Know. Why. <a href="https://bit.ly/CM69vids" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Video Playlist </a>| <a href="http://chartmusic.libsyn.com/rss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChartMusicPodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ChartMusicTOTP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17nHuE5PtP4OaYbq76yT0B00ZZ5hv3ismr-26idmmKo0/edit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Chart Music Wiki</a> | <a href="https://www.patreon.com/chartmusic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a> Hosted on Acast.

The podcast that takes one random episode of Top Of The Pops - the greatest TV Pop show ever - and breaks it down to its very last compound. Created by Sarah Bee, Neil Kulkarni, Taylor Parkes, Simon Price and David Stubbs (who all wrote for Melody Maker) and hosted by Al Needham (who didn't), it's an unflinching gaze into the open wound of pop culture and a celebration of Thursday evenings past. Hosted on Acast. See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:grey;" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for more information.
