@Laoma missed this one!
(Heâs currently doing a âdreamâ theme request on the Conga Line).
Yes, that one i havenât heard on the radio for years!
Haha yeah I limit myself one song per year⌠That one is from 1984. I wish it charted in 1983.
Spoiler alert for Braidwood FM listeners.
For 1984 I have âHad a Dream (Sleeping With the Enemy)â 
For 1983 (this week) I could only find the WSFM classic/ forever classic / Better Music and more of it flogged song of Sweet dreams (at the time of making the list), maybe there was another dream song that charted in 1983 and never found by myselfâŚNever mind maybe people listening to GN FM/2CA/2EC/MIX having issues with reception (Braidwood doesnât have great reception of commercial stations) with the above mentioned stations in Braidwood and will suddenly lock into the Billy Bob show thinking it is a new repeater. You will get a sudden uptick in listeners.

If you could go 1985, there is Pseudo Echoâs âLiving In Dreamâ or for 1988, âDreamingâ by OMD.
Thereâs a couple of other well known 1984 âdreamâ songs by Dan Hartman and also from Phil Oakey / Giorgio Moroder too.

Ron loves his Level 42.

This is a good illustration of the Hot AC turn of Eagle/Snow FM. Good track though.
12:05pm this afternoon (30/3) on Nova 96.9: âPure Shoresâ by All Saints. A timeless classic which remains a favourite of mine.

When will WSFM ever learn from the Gold log?!
I did hear WS play Melissa Etheridgeâs âSimilar Featuresââ but thatâs about it.
Eagle FM has definitely improved music wise. I heard them play James Bluntâs â1973â this afternoon, a forgotten artist and great song.
Itâs almost like the Forever Classic and Hot AC music directors at the Capital Radio Network have swapped jobs, its now GN/XL playing the safer stuff and Eagle/Snow playing the rarer gems.
