Linkin Park âThe Emptiness Machineâ
Blink-182 âTake Me Inâ

I know a lot of people love that song, but for me itâs a noâŚ

Joe Walsh âLifeâs Been Goodâ
Oasis âSome Might Sayâ
Cold Chisel âMy Babyâ

Butthole Surfers âPepperâ
The Classic Nine at Nine (The Classic Nine Food Songs)
The Flaming Lips âShe Donât Use Jellyâ
Always The Sun / The Stranglers now on the Breeze. Great song IMO.
Nights with Dave Gleeson (Last Nights Show)
Guns Nâ Roses âMr Brownstoneâ
Blink-182 âTake Me Inâ
Garbage âWhen I Grow Upâ
Thirsty Merc â20 Good Reasonsâ
Pink Floyd âBrain Damage/Eclipseâ
The Classic Nine at Nine (The Classic Nine Songs about Birds)
Bernard Fanning âSongbirdâ
The Beatles âBlackbirdâ
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
âThere is no dark side in the moon really
Matter of fact, itâs all darkâ
This song also belongs on the âDid they really just play that?â Thread due to my opinion being a bit too soft for the Triple M branding but recently heard the 1978 classic from Genesis, âFollow You, Follow Meâ on the recently launched Triple M 70s DAB station on LiSTNR which was their first Top 10 chart hit during the Phil Collins era after seven years of going progressive rock during the Peter Gabriel and early Collins era. Still a classic of mine.
Their first album following the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett.
Heard this one on Rebel after 9 this morning, a song I donât reckon Iâve heard much (if at all) since it was released:
This is just one example of why Rebel is just SO good!
Simple Minds- Theme For Great Cities
2MCE now.
On Triple M Nights with Dave Gleeson this evening:
9:15pm: âWish You Were Hereâ by Incubus
9:20pm: âBeautiful Dayâ by U2
Back in London now, heard this afternoon on XFM 104.9
Hate To Say I Told You So - The Hives
This is the kind of forgotten rock classic I should be hearing on a certain other 104.9 in and around Sydney that claims to play âgreatâ songs.
I agree.
I feel like for the most part stations like Triple M just dumb down the music to the point itâs not really tolerable. They underestimate the audience, whereas UK stations donât do this as much.
A few songs travelling around during the past few days.
Dee C Lee - See The Day and
Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe on Vintage FM - I forgot this song existed. Lead singer was Tom Cochrane (Life Is A Highway)
âŚand on 2RE
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Def Leppard - Rocket
(Itâs just the novelty of hearing these on a heritage station that got me, although these would be regulars on Triple M)
Thompson Twins - Donât Mess With Dr Dream
The Corrs - Breathless
(Nice to hear something different from these artists)
Wow, thatâs truly out of the box for an Australian station. Iâve played it maybe once or twice, great track.
2RE is a great listen during their local programming. I only wish theyâd stream (calling the Caralis heirs).
