Great songs heard on radio

I probably sound like a broken record, but how good is the Rebel.
I’ve been working in Biloela over the past month and had my ears glued to the Rebel. I absolutely love the music that Davo spins in the afternoon.

There is an excellent community radio show on Friday nights 7pm-8pm on Pulse FM Geelong that plays 80s music and focuses on compilation albums from that period. Tonight’s show is “1983 The Big Ones” and some of the songs heard are Love My Way by the Psychedelic Furs, It’s a Mistake by Men at Work and Rock and Roll is King by ELO.

Heard some “live and local” music on 2RE 88.9 this morning on the way back to Newcastle. Some good choices that other stations don’t usually play

Hope - David Campbell
Respect Yourself - Kane Gang

Gloucester would be close to the best radio spot in NSW if Rebel 93.7 made it to air. They have Breeze on 97.7 and also 2RE on 100.1/88.9. If you include the Barrington Tops (Polblue), you can also have snow with that good radio diet :slight_smile:

As an aside, has anyone done a bandscan from the top of The Tops? Polblue camping ground would be the highest, most accessible spot.

another great song on the Rebel: Pollyanna - Lemonsuck, a great band from the mid-90s (those who follow the Sound As Ever (Australian Indie 90-99) fb group will remember them).
