He was a great DJ, you mockers are thick chav scum brought up on Moyles - do the world a favour and kill yourselves as you are worthless vermin

[ifedthehorse]

Why are you so inconsistent with your quotes around Brits and Americans? Why even put quotes around them at all?

Brits trying to speak like an American = sounds like a lawyer. Um, yeah. Trolling FAIL.

@qatopboy

I feel your pain,and therefore have decided

to end it all.

I have made my decision based solley on

your unbreakable faith in the button pushing

skills of HRH Mr T Vance.

I dont know what "Moyles" is but as i am soon

to die, i don't care.

This is the proper way to do a chart rundown.Todays charts are ruined by Reggie Yeats prattling on about podcasts,live lounges,emailing and texting and about a million other things unrelated to the chart rundown.

[crazydavedisco]

Sounds like a genuine "medium wave" recording which is how it should sound!

[wardie72]

I dont know who is responsable for these music vids but briliant and hats off to him. Any chance off geting midyear ones rather than just the best off for each year. Would be great to hear some great obscure stuff

Tommy Vance was IMHO the greatest presenter of the Top 40 Chart in his two-year tenure from 10th January 1982 to New Year's Day 1984. One of THE legends of pop/rock radio.

tommy vance`s friday rock show, ftw

[russ7510]

He is what a call a proper DJ who knows he's stuff unlike Reggie Yeates who does the chart show now

[TheGodParticle]

I miss Tommy. I shall never forget him. He is a legend.

[Shropshire67]

Have many a tape of him on the Top 40 but remember him most for the Friday Rock show where he was brill.

RIP Thomas
