Down in Sydney for a few nights and heard these during my dial twiddling this evening

You’re A God- Vertical Horizon (on Music FM Moss Vale)
When You Walk In The Room - Paul Carrack (on 2ST Bowral)
My Best Friends Girl - The Cars (on Connect FM Bankstown)

That Vertical Horizon song seems to be a Southern Highlands and Tablelands special. I’ve heard it on Eagle FM as well.

Plenty of thunder booming around Bowral the last few days.

Stop twiddling your knob in your hotel room; you never know when security is watching :wink:

They are the only station that pays homage to the dog star. Now dig out some other APP material and I’ll be truly impressed.

I’ve definitely heard Games People Play on Breeze before.

Yeah I think they play that one. But where do we go from here? (Don’t Answer Me)

This one deserves to be played. The APP were passĂ© by 1987 so perhaps that’s why it was never a hit;

Interestingly there is a 4 min edit on YouTube and a video clip, so they must have indeed released it as a single but it never went anywhere.

Just hearing Never Surrender / Corey Hart on Breeze. I’ve always loved the song but it wasn’t even a big hit here. Breeze play it fairly often.

Great song! It Ain’t Enough is another great underplayed song of his.

Queen “Heaven for Everyone “ 99.7 Bridge FM .One of their songs I’d forgotten about,this was released after Freddy Mercury passed away ,he’d recorded the vocals when he was still alive.

Excellent track. It got a fair bit of airplay around January 1996 but it’s definitely in the forgotten pile now. I’ve played it a couple of times.

It’s a great song and gets a lot of airplay on my iPod. I think the other one released about that time was “Too Much Love Will Kill You”.

Rarely do radio stations play anything from Queen’s final three albums (The Miracle, Innuendo, and Made in Heaven).

One of Queen’s most flogged songs on radio “I Want It All” was from their LP The Miracle. Flogged even more since it appeared on a Foxtel ad in 2019.

Indeed. ‘Innuendo’ the song is the equal of Boh-Rap yet gets completely ignored.

I had long forgotten about that song. There was also this abomination from 2010. https://youtu.be/ycmQpXWwT0c

That song was flogged when Jessica Watson finished her Round the World solo boat trip, her arrival interrupting coverage of a Sydney vs Bulldogs AFL game in Canberra on Channel 10.

Wheels Of Love / Beatfish right now on Breeze. My goodness I haven’t heard that on the radio since it first came out in 1991. It got huge airplay for about 6 months then completely disappeared.

Beatfish was Martin Plaza and James Freud.

Loving how Breeze keeps bringing out these gems! Especially these rare Australian hits.
