Great songs heard on radio

Love QED / Everywhere I Go

Just heard on 4KQ (dab in the car) in drive:
No Reins on Me / LRB.
Haven’t heard that on the radio or anywhere in over 25 years I reckon.

Friday’s Child- WENDY MATTHEWS. Haven’t heard this one for years. Sleazy Digital.

That’s probably code for Easy Radio, which is on DAB+ & is operated by SCA, the same operator responsible for Classic Rock Digital. :slight_smile:

I know “Spare Me The Details” was getting a play on the LocalWorks network over summer - popped up on My Generation I think too.

Managed to hear this song on Triple M Sydney at 1:30pm today:

“Epic” - Faith No More

I know I am a bit late with this one, but I heard this on the same station two weeks ago:

“Calypso” - Spiderbait.

IMO, it’s a shame that “Black Betty” is the only Spiderbait song which is primarily played by the commercial-FM stations. The band have plenty of other great hits, but they are only played on a very rare occasion or not at all.

Crush - Jennifer Paige (on Smooth 95.3 Sydney)

Led Zeppelin - Babe I’m Gonna Leave You - Rebel 90.5 (I reckon one of Zep’s best, which may not be much of a compliment given it’s a cover)
Chocolate Starfish - You’re So Vain - River 949 (speaking of covers - it was like I was back in 1994 hearing that cover again)

Also should add that Rebel is giving Violent Soho a good flogging of late, which is excellent and exactly what a station claiming to play modern rock music should be

4KQ has had a seventies weekend with plenty of hits not heard in a long time and rare choices e.g. when they say The Raspberries are coming up, you think you know what is going to be played but then Let’s Pretend comes on; or Skyhooks and they play You Just Like Me Cause I’m Good in Bed.

Full list on their web site

Take that list of 4KQ’s 70s music and play it on 2CH in Sydney. And make smooth, Triple M and WSFM a little nervous.

Imagine Deep Purple and AC/DC on 2CH.
