Lol. Yes. It was an FM104 staple
Hazy Shade Of Winter - The Bangles
Now Playing on WSFM 80s DAB.
Much underplayed song of theirs.
Bird of Paradise / Snowy White
Back to Good / Matchbox 20
Back to back right now on Radio Carolineâs overnight 'mellowâshow.
Bird of Paradise was played a lot on FM104 quite a bit and the Matchbox 20 song is one of theirs I actually love.
Do yourself a favour and have a listen to Radio Caroline
âBird Of Paradiseâ seems to be a common one on Caroline. Perhaps the presenter of the mellow show loves it. I just love their music and style of presentation. What I hope to imitate when I get my own show (and the music will be similar, too).
Culture Beat - Mr. Vain just played on Mix 106.3. The main reason why I regularly pay attention to this song on-air is because nearly every station in Australia plays the âno rapâ version, which strangely never saw a commercial release locally.
(I obtained the above from someone who owned the US radio promo-only CD which included that exact version)
Black Stick - The Cruel Sea.
Now playing on KIIS90s, not the first time Iâve heard it on here either. I think this song was discussed in here a few weeks ago.
Youâre So Vain - Chocolate Starfish
Now Playing on Triple M Sydney during their âAussieâ program.
Another great 90s band that radio has mostly forgotten that should be played more often.
Though I would have been even happier if they had played âMountainâ or âFour Letter Wordâ.
Wait - Gyan
Now Playing on WSFM 80s.
A one hit Aussie wonder from the early 90s.
Another great song Aussie radio has forgotten.
Not sure whatâs more likelyâŚTriple M playing those songs or me flying my lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see a solar eclipseâŚ
That was actually released in July 1989 & entered the ARIA Top 50 in September that year.

Apparently, part of the music video (the coastal shots in B&W) is filmed at around Kiama.

Definitely the first one
The Chain by Fleetwood Mac on 4GR, so assuming it was on the rest of the âGreatest Hitsâ network.
I did hear âFour Letter Wordâ by Chocolate Starfish on Power FM Nowra a good while backâŚtook me completely by surprise. This would have been in the early part of the 2010s. âMountainâ was thrashed to death in 1994 but you donât hear it much these days.
Awesome song
wait eh eh
for the favoured one
with the favourite heart
that he promised
too many years for now
That cover of Youâre so Vain is one of my earliest musical memories, I remember it being played all the time (so much so I never knew it was a cover until years later). Would have been 1993 or so as a guess?
Mountain too was everywhere at the time, yet as you say has mysteriously disappeared since. Sad too, great song
Hazy Shade Of Winter - The Bangles
Gold play that a fair bit. Speaking of, theyâve been playing some real gems since they brought back their no repeat workday earlier this year. Runs Monday-Sunday from 6am-6pm.
Fortress Round Your Heart - Sting
Too Late For Goodbyes - Julian Lennon
Just played back to back on Radio Northern Beaches 88.7 (and 90.3) .
Great 80s songs rarely played on radio!.
Which frequency do you tune into?
88.7 for me⌠90.3 is very faint here, 88.7 is fair (not very strong), but listenable mono.
