They ween't on the show. Some dodgy singers with a song called Missippi were at Number 1. And that was in the days when people actually went out to buy records...

Fortunately...

Patti Smith..

Ramones..

Pistols..

Clash..

The Damned..

The Slits**

were cranking up some vibe..

And of course Kraftwerk were still doing their thang...

As an aside ....`ol Bowie paved the way alot eh !..
