With the arrival of 24hr transmission, there was a deep, dark TV void that the ABC wanted filled. ABC producer Mark Fitzgerald had Rage in mind. His idea? An all night music video show which would play the video, the whole video and nothing else. No presenters, no distractions, no interruptions. Well, virtually no interruptions. There were of course those distinctive r-r-r-r-r-r-r-rage screams which - love or hate them - seem to have become part of our collective subconscious. With the arrival of Rage, an Australian tradition developed. It's a tradition of bleary eyed Australians sitting on their couches at 4:00 am thinking "I'll just watch one more, then I'm going to bed... just one more...just one more..." The guest programmers entered Rage's late night landscape in 1990. Mark Fitzgerald, producer/ programmer Stephanie Lewis, and musician Damien Lovelock had thrown the idea around for a while. In January 1990 the idea finally hit the screen. Rage guest programmers were handed the show for a night. They would host Rage, choose all the music and explain their choices. It was a concept that went against the idea of interruption-free music videos, but guest programmers seemed an interruption worth having. Since 1990, Rage has been asking influential musicians to choose the music which has most influenced them. Certain songs just kept appearing on their guest lists. Not surprisingly, they were often songs with great videos, but they were more than that. They were important, beautiful, powerful, inventive, groundbreaking songs. In early, 1998 we decided to look back at the programming lists and collect a list of the songs most chosen. We've put them together for this - our first ever Rage album. 101 Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart 102 Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon 103 The Stranglers - Golden Brown 104 The Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs 105 Stone Roses - Fools Gold 106 Radiohead - Just 107 Husker Du - Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely 108 The Pixies - Monkey Gone To Heaven 109 Frank Black - Los Angeles 110 The Breeders - Cannonball 111 Blondie - Heart Of Glass 112 Deee-lite - Groove Is In The Heart 113 Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full 114 Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Television, The Drug Of The Natio 115 Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message 201 The Saints - (I'm) Stranded 202 Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK 203 The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't 've) 204 The Clash - London Calling 205 The Specials - Ghost Town 206 David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes 207 The Church - Under The Milky Way 208 The Triffids - Wide Open Road 209 The Sunnyboys - Alone With You 210 The Easybeats - Sorry 211 You Am I - Berlin Chair 212 Black Sabbath - Paranoid 213 Beasts Of Bourbon - Chase The Dragon 214 The Birthday Party - Nick The Stripper 215 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat 216 Public Image Limited - Rise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a·ya·hua·sca (î'yə-wä'skə, ä'yə-) n.
