Great songs heard on radio

Was surprised to hear this on Gold a short while ago. Totally 80s on Friday nights still i think.

Refugee - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Placed at #445 on the Triple M countdown. Not the most underplayed song but it’s one I’ve always liked, infinitely better than Free Fallin’ which is one of the most commonly played.

Glad to see they still play this one. I’ve only ever heard it on GN/XL.

Most of the time they are a lot safer, though.

Agree, Saturday nights are a bit more like their old playlist when they had the TGIF 80s.

The Great Pretender - The Platters on ABC Local Radio via 97.3 Illawarra.

Agree. Refugee always got huge airplay in the US, and still does. Much more commonly heard there than Free Fallin’

3RRR: The Jones Girls - “Nights Over Egypt”

Well I’m listening to the Vintage FM stream for the first time in many months, and they seem to have improved the audio processing.

The dynamic range compressor is no longer set to the highest possible settings, so the music has a bit more room to breathe.

They could still bump up the bitrate on the stream though.

At Woolworths today, they played Daryl Brathwaite’s singe As the Days Go By. Such an underrated single.

Two perfect pop songs. I’ll be going through One FM territory tomorrow so will have a listen.

They played Sunburn by Fuel on the 45 degree day I was driving through there last week, after Thirsty Merc’s Summertime. Very appropriate for the day, and in the case of the Fuel song a forgotten gem of the genre

Ain’t Nobody (Classic Paradise remix) - Jaki Graham

Heard during a 12pm “Hit Mashup” on Hit 104.7 on Wednesday. The video version was a straight cover of the Chaka Khan tune, but the remix they played was track 1 on the CD single.
