Some vintage nineties rock heard yesterday on the Rebel:
Better Get a Lawyer - Cruel Sea (1995)
Goldfinger - Ash (1996)
Who Feels Love? - Oasis (1999)
In the mainstream pop department, enjoyed these also - particularly the Pseudo Echo & Genesis singles:
Neutron Dance - Pointer Sisters (1984) on Hot 91.1
Don’t Go - Pseudo Echo (1985) on 97 3 FM [Party Mix]
Throwing it All Away - Genesis (1986) on the Breeze
Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson (1987) on 102 9 Hot Tomato
Got My Mind Set on You - George Harrison (1987) on River 949
On River 94.9 today:
(The late great)Prince,“Let’s Go Crazy” 1984
The Jacksons,“Blame it on the Boogie” 1980
Billy Joel,“A Matter of Trust” 1986
KC and the Sunshine Band,“Get Down Tonight” 1977
Carly Simon, “Jesse”, 1980
Ian Moss,“Telephone Booth”,1989👍
Listening to their ‘Wayback Wednesdays’ is the highlight of my working week now😊
Interesting that Gold 104.3 still plays the odd 60s track on Saturday nights.
AFAIK, WS in Sydney doesn’t play any 60s music anymore, not even on Saturday nights. In fact, the only commercial FM stations in Sydney that play the odd 60s track are Smooth & Triple M.
The Trooper - Iron Maiden (Rebel 99.4)
Undone - The Sweater Song - Weezer (Rebel again)
Purple Rain - Prince (Breeze 92.1)
It should also be noted that the latter two of those were played in the afternoon drivetime, when most other stations are busy talking or playing Boulevard of Broken Dreams for the 10 millionth time.
Though to be fair to the competitors, Gold 92.5 have a decent predominantly music-based drive show with Bianca Dye as host. The music range there is colourful enough to be worth listening to as well, but unfortunately for Bianca I just can’t bring myself to list her playing Horses this arvo in this thread
A few from River 94.9 today:
David Lee Roth:“Just a Gigalo” 1985
Doctor and the Medics:“Spirit in the Sky” 1986 remake of the old 70s hit
Little River Band:“Love is a Bridge” 1988
John Lennon:"Instant Karma ",1970
Sonia Dada:“You Ain’t Thinking About Me”,1992,this was their other hit ,no they weren’t one hit wonders,I get sick of hearing “You Don’t Treat Me No Good” all the time
Wow @the Sonia Dada track, it’s a much better song imo. Another one that got spun heavily at the time, at least my six year old self thought it did. I’ll spend $18, at the laundromat or otherwise, to hear it on Sydney radio.
The Clash - London Calling (1979) on Gold 104.3’s Countdown to the Car, which they’re running this long weekend. Was somewhere around #940 - I think #942.
Occasionally gets a play on Triple M, don’t think I’ve heard it on Gold before though.
