Great songs heard on radio

Great song!
Though I don’t like how they named the LP “Album Of The Year” though.

It sounds misleading, when I first heard it on the radio, I thought it meant it had won a major award, like a Grammy or something. I didn’t realise that was the actual name of the album.

It’s “on their head” though I guess.

I did a FNM triple play just recently in response to some (very similar) comments on MS. It proves the discussion is quite circular on here :wink:

And what Evidence did you have to justify this triple play? And was the response from your listeners equally Epic? Or did it give you a Midlife Crisis?

Went for a drive today and heard the following good songs

2NUR-FM
Down On The Corner - Creedence Clearwater Revival
When Smokey Sings - ABC
Walk Right In - Dr Hook
Crying In The Chapel - Peter Blakeley
Sugar Me - Lynsey de Paul

Great Lakes FM
Stay - Oingo Boingo

Lake Macquarie FM
Rock N Roll Girls - John Fogarty

Port Stephens FM
In Private - Dusty Springfield

Was that show “The History of Rock N Roll” with Wink Martindale?

I think it might have been that one, yes. Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

Unfortunately there’s no ‘Great songs heard in retail stores’ thread, so this one has to go here!

Heard The Riddle by Nik Kershaw in my local Woolworths tonight.

Near a tree by a river, there’s a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion, there’s a wrong and a right
But he’ll never, never fight over you

When i think of Nik Kershaw, i think of Tony Martin’s Get This.

That song (and Wide Boy) both deserve more airplay on radio (and in retail stores).

This is why Rebel cannot be beat. Note the song and the time of day they play it (but ignore the dirty, dusty dashboard in the Lancer)

Great song. I’d love to see Rebel on DAB in metro areas, and Breeze of course.

PS. clean that screen mister! :slight_smile:
