It kind of puts commercial radio to shame when music video channels play better music
Saw these three in a row just now on MTV 80s (Foxtel Channel 804)
Lessons In Love - Level 42
Too Much - Bros
I Was Born To Love You - Freddie Mercury
I believe this channel is now programmed in the US, which sadly would mean that I wonât see much Australian music, certainly not like with the old MAX Music TV channel.
NOW 80s, a FAST channel on my Fetch TV, is a UK based music video channel is another one that also plays some great rarely heard on radio songs.

As a Heart of Midlothian supporter I puke when this song comes on, given the close link with Hibernian (didnât think Scottish Football would get a run on this thread didnât you)âŚ

The Fire Inside/ Bob Seger on Breeze. Gee havenât heard this song for decades. Itâs more an album track I thought. Anyway I must have heard it on FM104 maybe in an album show.

The Triple M (Sydney) metro GOAT Year Battles is playing some great tracks.
Today the battle was 1971 vs 1983
Some great 1971 songs I heard today were
Maggie May - Rod Stewart
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Lola - The Kinks
(as 70s music is fast becoming lost to radio as we age).
1983 was a little more predictable but notable songs I heard were
Beat It - Michael Jackson (not often heard on the metro stations)
1999 - Prince (only notable because they played the 12 inch mix)
Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Yes

The quintessential yacht rock track for mine. It has all the elements (sax, mellow vocals, the atmosphere of regretfully leaving a sleazy motel at 3 AM).
