During a tribute on the ‘Greatest Hits in Music’ on the SCA Localworks stations on Tuesday night they played these rarely aired Eagles songs: The Last Resort, Wasted Time and Desperado.
Triple M have now started playing songs ‘off vinyl’. Some play thru’s from memory

Bourgeois Tagg… It’s a group, not just a ‘he’.
Good song it is too…
Thanks for that ,they were a one hit wonder
Running In The Family - Level 42
Right now on WSFM.
A rarely heard 80s Classic!!
I love this song…
Running in the Family? I must tune in to 101.7FM again. That is pure 80s and not heard very often. That is what makes radio great - the classics you had forgotten!
We should have never let the 80s end.
The 80s should have lasted longer than a decade.
The only times you’ll most likely hear forgotten 80s tunes on WS is during “80s Lunch” at 12-1pm Sundays-Fridays, as well as on Friday & Saturday nights, and of course when they do something like “80 Hours of the 80s” on long weekends (the next likely one would be either Easter long weekend in late March or Anzac Day long weekend in April).
Better yet, stream Gold 104.3 (WS’s sister station) from Melbourne on Friday nights, where they have “Totally 80s” from 7pm to 4am. Also, there’s “Pure 80s” on Mix 94.5 (owned by SCA) from Perth on Sunday nights from 6pm (9pm AEDT/8pm AEST).
TV-Expert - I am definitely going to try Melbourne’s Gold on a Friday night.
WSFM rarely surprises me with a song from the 80s. I drove from Sydney to the Gold Coast this summer and at some stage I heard The Time Bandits hit “Only Shooting Love”. It was the best 4 minutes of that day.
What station was that? I would think it would be 105.3 New FM in Newcastle, because that station played that song before (as mentioned on this thread in the old forum) as part of its 80s program that they have every morning. If it was a Sunday morning, then that could also be either 107.3 Max FM in Taree, FM104.7 in Grafton or 100.9 ZZZ in Lismore, which plays nothing but 80s at that time of day.
FYI, New FM, Max FM, FM104.7 & ZZZ are part of the same network, which is not SCA.
Sorry I cannot remember what station it was as I was scanning and flipping between stations. It was not New FM though as I was much further up the coast than Newcastle.
Yes I caught that one too on Friday night. Followed by Cher’s If I Could Turn Back Time. They do throw the odd unbashed in sometimes. The other week on the 80s lunch I heard Kids In The Kitchen - Current Stand
One Headlight - The Wallflowers
Right now on WAVE FM.
