Isn't it ironic that none of the predatory DJ's on TOTP seemed to have any self control either . The dirty rotters.11 years ago

Saw this the night it went out. Stared at telly open mouthed. Next day at school, talked about it with friends. Stared at each other, open-mouthed.11 years ago

No Selfcontrol - Peter Gabriel (für mich ein Marketing Genie, das nach seinem Austritt bei Genesis sich selbst optimal vermarktete) 12 years ago

Its hard to say that Peter Gabriel was year's ahead of his time because his music is truly ageless...if this track was released today it would sound as fresh as it did in 1980. Unreal!12 years ago

A nation hid behind its sofas when this went out on ToTP. Or, more likely, sat there mildly bemused by something that didn't quite compute. Because it was too good.13 years ago
