BBC cancels "Top of the Pops" This is probably big news to all of the UK orgers:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/h...099894.stm I never saw any actual episodes of this show, but MTV, VH1 and other stations used to play clips of this show here in the USA back in the late 1980s. Once again, another music show institution heads for the graveyard. It joins these once popular musical shows: Hit Parade Shindig The TAMI Show American Bandstand Don Kirschner's Rock Concert The Midnight Special Lawrence Welk Hee Haw! Solid Gold Night Tracks Night Flight Radio 1990 Friday Night Videos ABC In Concert Sunday Night/Night Music Could Soul Train be next?

That is a real shame. That seems to have been on for years. Do they explain why the thing was cancelled? I guess this means American Idol is infecting every aspect of the cultural nexus. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Wow. It seems like every mainstream pop artist I've loved since I've been alive has gone on that show countless times.
End of an era. All we got left are Soul Train in the US and Rockapalast in Germany. | |

I`m not that familiar with the show, but there`s been many classic performances,
just think of David Bowie`s "starman" LEGENDARY!! 
...or Kate Bush singing "Wuthering heights"

....or The Party Machine with Nia Peeples Oops! My bad.   How could I ever forget the show that featured a young teen-aged Kelly Ripa? Oh, and I can't believe I forgot about the Party Machine. That was at the height of dance music in the USA.
