    Oh c'mon man there was still some good stuff to come: The Police, Dire Straits, Midnight Oil, U2, REM, The Cure, The Boss (before he morphed into "folk music performer of the year"), Cold Chisel etc etc

    30 years ago I was tossing up between buying a Yam XS750 and Suzi GS 750. The Suzuki won that contest. I'm sure Pink Floyd's the 'Wall 'was released that year too.

    'Dont you ever let a chance go by'

    I thought (at the time) this was the greastest song, had the LP but couldnt understand the lyrics...!

    Reasons to be cheerful alright....and still on my "most listened to" now. Strange the tricks your memory plays on you, but I could swear this came along a couple of weeks later, when in fact it was a couple of years...

    Beer was 54 cents a jug. For $10 on a Friday evening, a young lad in Palmerston North could get liquored, swap a crate and procure three pieces of fish and chips.

    30 years later, one has no knowledge of the relative costs of any of those items, or indeed whether they still exist outside of the provinces (apart from the fish and chips). Is it still possible to buy beer by the jug and to swap crates?

    Aahhh - Ian Drury - I actually liked most of his stuff..
    esp "Fuck off Noddy"

    1978...hmmm....still riding the Ducati...slightly modified as some cunt nicked it in 1977 and it was found dumped off a bush track at the back of Orewa, 3 months later, resplendant in its spray canned, black painted, glory, and missing a few bits.
    However, seeing as how it wasn't insured at the time, I was glad to see it back!

    This must be right in that era too. Look for Jools Holland smoking a huge cigar.
    I love all this stuff posted esp Mr Dury!
