rage goes retro weekend 2 - ALL 1980 EPISODES!

Dig out the shoulder pads and crimp that hair, because week two of Rage Retro Month is rewinding the clock to 1980.

First up we’ll be remembering the hits that kicked off the decade with the 1980 Australian Top 10 at 10am Saturday morning. Then, for all you Countdown fanatics, Saturday night Rage will be filled to the brim with episodes from 1980. It’s going to be hours of tubular goodness as we play eps guest-hosted by Australian Crawl’s James Reyne, Ol’ 55’s Patrick and Rockpile, and Steve Gilpin from Mi-Sex.

Watch the second instalment of Retro Month this Saturday January 11 from 10am and 11:23pm on ABC TV.


I requested quite a few 1980 EPisodes, I hope some of them are played! I LOVE 1980 EPisodes as it's got the late 70's lurking with the dawn of the new decade 1980!

I don't know who had crimped hair & shoulder pads in 1980 but I don't care either because that's my fav Countdown year so I love this news. :grinning:

THE BLITZ KIDS had crimped hair and shoulder pads in 1980 <3

Re: rage goes retro weekend 2 - ALL 1980 EPISODES!

Lol, the Blitz Kidz - so far ahead of their time:joy:

Yes 1980 - awesome. Hoping they are all freshie's that haven't been shown on rage before and also aren't amongst the time coded shows that I already have...

A new Judie Tzuke video on the James Reyne episode!

Re: rage goes retro weekend 2 - ALL 1980 EPISODES!

The James Reyne episode of Countdown being played this Saturday is one of my three 1980 Countdown Episode requests!

I am so leased as I have wanted this episode for some time for the Janis Ian performances and Judie Tzuke!

Re: rage goes retro weekend 2 - ALL 1980 EPISODES!

Janis Ian's Fly Too High is such a brilliant song. The Countdown clip of her just sitting on a big chair in the studio did it no justice though!
