One of the most loved programs ever produced and broadcast by the ABC was Countdown and spanned 13 years from 1974-1987, providing the soundtrack to an entire generation of Australians.
Taking a year per episode, Classic Countdown pays tribute to the iconic artists, the incredible songs, and Molly!
The original episodes have been lovingly and meticulously restored and the archives carefully searched to uncover performances not seen for decades. Unashamedly nostalgic and playful, Classic Countdown will celebrate the explosion in youth culture and Aussie music that was the driving force of the show’s success.
Starting on Sunday, September 17, at 6pm on the ABC. Do yourself a favour...
And, if you love music from the magical era, we've prepared some awesome 70s and 80s playlists over on our Spotify page. Have a listen and get nostalgic. Do you remember any of these bands playing on Countdown?
