It’s Friday and PoPTV is in the mood for classics of the post-punk era…
The Pretenders – Back on the Chain Gang (1982)
Chrissie Hynde is still going strong and Pretenders will be touring Oz soon… someone bring them to Singapore!

Still gives me goosebumps when I see this. First music video ever played on MTV. Classic indeed.
[amazon-product alink=”0000FF” bordercolor=”000000″ height=”240″]B0000257O9[/amazon-product]The Jam – When You’re Young (1979)
Probably my favorite band of this special era – sharp pop energy!
[amazon-product alink=”0000FF” bordercolor=”000000″ height=”240″]B0000076ET[/amazon-product]The Police – Don’t Stand So Close To Me (1980)
I wanted to be Sting back then š Grateful that I saw them during the reunion tour at Indoor Stadium – would have been great to have seen them in the early 80s but better late than never.

OMD – Enola Gay (1980)
Fell head over heels in love with this when I first heard it all those years ago and it still works for me! Old and new music colliding… the likes of which we’ll never hear again…
[amazon-product alink=”0000FF” bordercolor=”000000″ height=”240″]B000002GHV[/amazon-product]Wow… I could go on and on and on…and there’s more…
KNOW YOUR MUSIC HISTORY, KIDZ!!!
