Well let's see what else they play when the playlist comes out 
I'm mainly interested to see if they play all the Clouds clips. The ones that rage haven't played in the digital era are:
Anthem
Alchemy's Dead
Boy Of Air
Down From The Sky
Here Now
Cloud Factory was played in 2003 but I didn't have a digital PC recorder then.
Fingers crossed!

I was looking forward to 'Anthem' too - so of course they've lost it/it's not airing
. I have a VHS recording someone sent me years ago, but that's it.I'm not familiar with any of their post 'Say It' stuff (though probably heard 'Bower of Bliss' once or twice), but 'Alchemy's Dead' is also missing.
It really is pitiful when the ABC loses/discards of videos by *Australian* artists, especially their precious favourite Triple J-friendly acts. Though I guess because they were fronted by female singers, they were fair game for the cull.
I bet channel 10 still has copies.

I have a clean copy of Anthem from their VHS release, but it is VHS so a bit streaky and low-res. I can send you my remastered copy if you want.

Alchemy's Dead is a great song and clip, a real shame I'll never get a digital copy of it since presumably they've lost it.
I rate Thunderhead as their best album - absolutely brilliant from start to finish. An extraordinary powerful piece of pop-alternative crossover. I wasn't so enamoured with their final album Futura, they had lost their way a bit by then. But Down From The Sky is a brilliant song.

Yep, disgraceful.

OUCH!
but unfortunately you are probably correct. Maybe when Channel 10 goes broke we can buy their music video collection at their garage sale?

Rage have some glaring omissions from their library - e.g. no Jason Donovan videos, it would seem (the Countdown Revolution performances of 'Too Many Broken Hearts' and 'Sealed With a Kiss' have aired numerous times instead). I sort of understand them not having those videos, since they hated anything pop so much in the 90s, but they're hardly rare, unobtainable videos to replace.
