This has to be one of them. A full on, manic, boggle eyed Edward Tudorpole.

Ha, that is brilliant. This will always be mine:

I was absolutely lost in this and can still remember discussing it for weeks after.

A bit obvious the first one:

I think this is my favourite one though:

This:

Stood out from all the poseurs of the day, many punk bands included. Still outstanding today.

and this:

Great band, always looked fantastic. My idea of pop stars!

and this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkYOZyNocrw

an actual live performance on Top of the Pops!

and this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J-xfCUEOY8

not from Top of the Pops at all, but this tv appearance, from Supersonic, literally changed the way I felt about music.

My teenage head was turned by this:

Although the video is even better.

And this made me smile at the time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9isAOSw ... re=related

Still love the song - but the performance seem a little lame in reflection.

And this made me shoplift their tape from Boots (remember when boots used to sell music!?)

And this is probably where my metal liking started (pretty sure this was 'live' too):

But not sure any of these would win the best ever appearances award...

This is pretty iconic, surely...

Not sure an entire generation of children and parents were quite ready for THAT codpiece in 1986...

Also, ignoring the 'Best Ever' part of the thread title, I remember being a bit excited about this EXCLUSIVE coming on.

We'd all heard the song on the Levi's advert and were all pretty pumped for seeing the whole thing on TOTP... and then the intro faded out and this happened:

The Puff-Pastry Hangman himself. Absolutely monstrous.

Can't ignore this either...

I hate this band but it's a notable moment!
