I think that gets played a fair bit, one of his better ones from the 80s too.
I think his 90s hits are better than his 80s ones, like “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started”, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me"‘, and “When You’re Gone”’

Yeah, great song. Probably the first one I heard that got me into his music. But he had a lot of others that are awesome too.
- Somebody
- Cuts Like A Knife
- Thought I’d Died And Gone To Heaven
- Can’t Stop This Thing We Started
- The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me
I even like some of his more random pop songs like Cloud No 9.

I Heard A Rumour - Bananarama
(On Port Stephens FM, probably my favourite song of theirs)
Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield
(On WSFM, haven’t heard that for a while)
Ship Of Fools - World Party
(On ABC Local Radio NSW, happened across it on 103.5 2BA during my dial twiddling tonight. Not sure if they played that because of the death of their lead singer last week or not).

Just after 9:10pm on Smallzy’s Surgery this evening: “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton.
Peaked at the top of the ARIA Charts in August 2002. This was a refreshing song particularly at a time when edgy-pop songs were dominating the charts.
Just after 9:15pm on smoothfm: “Out of Reach” by Gabrielle. Was included on the soundtrack of “Bridget Jones’ Diary” in 2001. Another beautiful song from 2001.
