I’m assuming Rebel are the only station in Australia to acknowledge the existence of Five Finger Death Punch? (who are absolutely massive in America… the sort of band Triple M should be flogging to death)
Great list. Forgotten that inxs song. Love Maxine. Sharon O’Neill is criminally underplayed on Radio in this country.
I 110% agree. I think Breeze is the only OZ station that plays this NZ gem.
Yep. It gets an occasional spin on 4KQ but yes Breeze is the main one. Breeze also plays a few others of Sharon occasionally
I 110% agree also. FFDP is very popular here in Australia also. It shows how boring and safe our Rock station are in Australia except Rebel of course.
This song would be a great fit with Smooth and Triple M Soft Rock. Australia radio stations need to look outside the box a bit more.
I suppose Triple M don’t want to be in Bad Company with a Rebel.
Street Cafe - Icehouse
Now Playing on Triple M Sydney as part of their “All Aussie Bangerz” (or something like that) music this Australia Day long weekend.
Current Stand - Kids In The Kitchen.
Now playing on Triple M Melbourne, as part of the same ‘Aussie Bangerz’ weekend. I have heard this one a couple of times recently, which I have no problem with.
I also heard Breakaway by Big Pig this morning.
I love Breakaway, especially the intro.
Another Day in the Big World / Eurogliders now on 99.7 Bridge FM. Haven’t heard that one in decades
When I am driving on Southern Cross Drive and all the stations are having an ad break. In desperation I try Triple M and they are playing Pseudo Echo’s Listening.
The best three minutes and eleven seconds of my Sunday so far. Thanks Triple M.
Whilst driving, I heard one song played on ABC radio - Killing Heidi - Weir. This song gives me nostalgia back in the early days.
I also meant to add that last night Triple M also played on their “Saturday Night Live” program this rarely played gem from the early 90s:
Someone’s Singing New York - Ghostwriters
A real Mechie Show classic. I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard it on commercial radio. Looks like the Ms are improving.
And they played it this afternoon about 15;45 with digby again
Not sure what this songs called exactly or who sings it.The first line is
“I’m on the Drug that killed River Phoenix”, I remember this one well from the mid 90s because a guy I worked with used to sing it all the time.Used to work evening shift then and would have heard it on the Hot 30 evening show on B105
Heard on Triple M today
Its a band called TISM, song is “(He’ll Never Be) An Old Man River”.
Here’s the video
I like the song too
Thanks,back then I didn’t know exactly what this song was called
Haven’t heard this song for a long time before today
