I agree ,any old daggy late 80s pop hits ,Rick Astley,Bananarana,Kylie,Mel and Kim and the like I will always will associate with Stereo 10 , where I would have heard them back then ,sadly they don’t exist any more. I doubt FM 104(now Triple M )would have played anything like this

Great track with a superb intro… I remember the first time I heard it…

Dance Away- BRYAN FERRY& ROXY MUSIC (Coast NZ).

@Karen_Cee
Yes same here, the early- to mid-80s pop hits always remind me of Stereo 10.
FM104 didn’t play too many of those although there were a few exceptions - they did play Current Stand/Kids in the Kitchen and somewhat surprisingly Too Shy / Kajagoogoo.
I’ve been going through some of the old FM104 air checks on a site called The Radio Antenna which has a lot of snippets of announcers mainly from the 80s. It basically transports me back to my youth when I was obsessed with FM104 :slight_smile:

Carnival / Natalie Merchant heard this afternoon on Easy DAB. Haven’t heard this song on the radio for so long (must have been B105). Not my usual type of song but there’s something about it for me.

Easy has replaced Smooth at our work. It’s a little more up-tempo and spot on for all of us.

It was hard not to be obsessed with FM104… they were everywhere… had their own store (in Edward Street if I remember rightly) and a travel agent (FM Travel) and a cafe (at the bottom of the Myer Centre)…

The even had studios at Expo 88…

Speaking of which… I remember hearing this song on FM104 in 1988…

and haven’t heard it on any radio station since…

Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dane on River 949 just now

Black Stick - The Cruel Sea

Also on Triple M (Sydney) just then.

Nice. I’m guessing that was on ā€œRage Against The Ninetiesā€, about the only thing that’s half decent on the M’s.

Probably… it was around 10pm last night,

Another forgotten gem from Triple M’s ā€œRage Against The Ninetiesā€ tonight

Follow You Down - Gin Blossoms

Haven’t heard that on commercial radio for a while.

played on the regional Triple M’s often.

One I haven’t heard on commercial radio for a while:

Steam - Peter Gabriel

On ā€œThe Greatest Years In Musicā€ (for me via 2GO)

I heard Steam on DAB just this week. Hadn’t heard it for years - great song. It was either on OMG or The 90s I think.

Man Of Colours - Icehouse

Nice change from hearing ā€œGreat Southern Landā€ or ā€œElectric Blueā€ for the 1000th time.
