I prefer the Chaka Khan version
The Innocents - âSooner Or Laterâ
On 2NUR this morning. It sounded familiar and I was trying to work out where Iâd heard it before. Then I realised it was on a 1980 episode of Countdown that was repeated on rage goes retro a few years ago.
Triple J: Wolf Alice - Just Two Girls
KISS 87.8 FM (not KIIS): Yellow Magic Orchestra - Tighten Up
3KND: Naughty by Nature - O.P.P.
3RIM Melton 97.9 FM: Elvis Presley - How the Web Was Woven (maybe my favourite Elvis song)
1:30pm on GOLD 101.7: âTake Me Outâ by Franz Ferdinand.
Was released 22 years ago last week.
A staple of Triple M, who seem to have forgotten what rock means recently.
Farq Iâm old.
That and âSomebody Told Meâ from the Killers are of the same vintage, both thrashed on Nova and the Ms when new.
Recently heard on Rebel FM, as we all know it is a great rock station in Australia.
âStill Countingâ by Volbeat
âNeighboursâ by The Academy Is
â60 Years Agoâ by Bachman Turner Overdrive featuring Neil Young
âDance The Night Awayâ by Van Halen
âLuv Xxxâ by Aerosmith
âHard As A Rockâ by AC/DC
âFranco UnAmericanâ by NOFX
âCowboy Songâ by Thin Lizzy
âGod Of Thunderâ by Kiss
Only Rebel would play that these days. Used to be a JJJ staple in the ârock against Bushâ era of 2003.
I have noticed Riot FM have a penchant for NOFX too, so it would probably get a run there.
Yes Riot sure plays a lot of NOFX, and yeah Iâve heard probably 70% of the entire NOFX discography on Riot FM, theyâre a really good band so I can see why. And with Rebel thereâs definitely a theme going on with certain songs theyâre playing today.
Just recently on Double J
Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry (1989)
One of my favourite songs from the late eighties periods that was played repeatedly on rotation on Triple J in the first year of their national rollout. Still has aged well to this day.

As played on The Conga Line on NYD, as part of the âClassic Emoâ Missing Six.
(Yes, not technically Emo, but it has all the elements).
Itâs a great song nonetheless no matter what genre the song is, I really enjoy your show Billy Bob!
Also a Conga Line Classic.
Love how Rebel can play softer stuff like Heart and it still fits well.
âRumbleâ by You Am I is also one of the best two minutes of music anyone has mustered; takes me right back to 9inety6ix.1 in 1998 (Iâve only ever heard it regularly on there),
Conga Line is one of my personal favourite radio shows, and yes I agree that even the softer songs fit well with Rebel. They somehow manage to be eclectic without being overly jarring, thatâs what I love about their active rock format. And yeah that You Am I song is amazing! I think youâd be a good host for Rebel FM given your knowledge of music as a whole and your great taste too for the deeper cuts.
