#TVPop6Music - help create a playlist of seminal TV music moments

Tom Robinson wants suggestions for a playlist inspired by awesome music moments from television via #MusicTV6Music.

Live music on television. It just doesn't happen much any more does it? Save for 'Later...with Jools Holland' and a clutch of cable shows, the kids these days must resort to the boring old internet to watch their favourite music stars in red, blue and green.

Gone are the heady days of 'Ready Steady Go', 'Top of the Pops' and 'Popworld'. Nowadays the biggest TV stage for artists is a sell-out spot on the X Factor results show :(

During the nineties we were spoiled with 'The Word', 'The White Room' and of course the often-unpredictable 'TFI Friday', which makes a one-off comeback this week after fifteen years away. Wonder what ever happened to that ginger presenter...

So this week's playlist is celebrating those magical moments where artists pulled out all the tops on telly. Shaun Ryder doing 'Pretty Vacant' on 'TFI', L7 on 'The Word', Prince on 'The White Room', John Otway on 'Whistle Test' - there's loads! And we need YOU to pick them and create an awesome music TV playlist.

Of course there are other unforgettable music moments on loads of other television programmes. You could choose Radiohead's candid appearance on 'South Park', Madness turning-in a textbook performance on 'The Young Ones' or Mick & Keef nailing Rock n' Roll Fantasy Camp on 'The Simpsons'.

Whatever your all-time favourite music moment off of the box, Tom Robinson wants to know the artist, the track and the reason why you want to hear it.

You pick the music, so get your seminal music television-inspired suggestions to Tom via the hashtag #MusicTV6Music to help create a playlist. Comment on the Now Playing Facebook page, here on the blog, email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or drag tracks onto our Spotify and Radio playlists.
