GTK was absolutely fantastic. Discovered some great music from that show, Lobby Loyd, Buffalo. Countdown I loved to hate due to it being a bit too commercial and Molly loving everything even if it was shit, but it had some very memorable moments; the Prince Charles interview and Iggy Pop stand out to me. I also remember Fernando being number one for what seemed like years.Does anyone remember the local music shows?
Loved watching GTK, you may not remember this one, Sounds with Donnie Sutherland and of course Countdown with Molly Meldrum.

Another one was Flashes or Flashez (?) hosted by Mike Mead and someone. They had a lot of great stuff.
It was Ray Burgess and Mike Mead and yes was called Flashez with a Z. Was on at about 5pm weekdays on ABC for half an hour. I would have been about 10yo but remember it, particularly when they played 'Anarchy In The UK' and my young mind was blown! A couple of years ago I saw a couple of episodes when Rage did one of their flashback episodes.GTK was absolutely fantastic. Discovered some great music from that show, Lobby Loyd, Buffalo.

Thank you, yes Ray Burgess.It was Ray Burgess and Mike Mead and yes was called Flashez with a Z. Was on at about 5pm weekdays on ABC for half an hour.

Another great show was Rock Around the World on SBS (when it was still known as Channel 0). Ran from approx 1981 to 84. They played stacks of European bands who we never usually heard out here but most importantly, for me, a real lot of underground Australian stuff that shows like Countdown or Sounds would have run screaming from. For that reason, this show was hugely for me and my teenage friends. Hosted by the late Basia Bonkowski.Does anyone remember the local music shows?
