WSFM played these two underplayed songs in today’s “Four from Before”.
King For A Day - Thompson Twins
King Of Pain - The Police
No prizes for guessing the theme, or why the theme was chosen.
The theme is ‘Kings’ in honour of today being King Charles’s birthday

A great song. They did a great job performing this at the 2022 Superbowl HT Show a few of months after 9/11.

Dave Gleeson’s Nights show on Triple M is a great listen, I should tune in more often. Great songs I heard tonight were
Break On Through - The Doors
And the “Classic 9 at 9” focussed on 1984 for the year that CDs first came out. And the 9 played tracks were all released on CDs at the time (so they said). Rarer great songs played tonight for me were;
The Unforgettable Fire- U2
Big On Love - The Models
Shout To The Top - Style Council
Purple Rain - Prince

This afternoon On the ABC Perth radio they played Understand from Meg Mac.
Closer To Fine / Indigo Girls on Breeze. It used to get quite a bit of airplay but I haven’t heard it for years. This is the type of surprise song that should turn up randomly on stations like Smooth or Gold/WS. Smooth used to surprise with songs once upon a time, but not anymore.

One of the great Australian songs of all time in my opinion and criminally ignored by radio in the last couple of decades.
Someone at 99.7 Bridge might be reading this forum as they just played it this morning. To be fair I have heard it once or twice on either Bridge or Breeze in recent years.
