Great songs heard on radio

Cos you’re not here.

A couple I’ve caught over the past couple of days

The Saints - Music Goes Round My Head (Rebel)

Local H (remember them?) - Bound for the Floor (Rebel)
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Rebel)
Waterboys - Whole of the Moon (Gold FM)

This song USED to get flogged to death, but I haven’t heard it for quite a while, so I thought it deserved a mention here:

My Sharona - The Knack

Now playing on 2GO

Another one I heard a short while ago that doesn’t get much airplay on commercial radio

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

On 2GO

Great song!

Another one I haven’t heard for a while now playing on Wollongong’s WAVE FM

Slide - Goo Goo Dolls

Nice! Love that one. Definitely a rarer Seger song.

You Take Me Up/Thompson Twins now on Absolute 80s. I’d forgotten that song entirely. Haven’t heard it since Stereo 10.

Wet Wet Wet, “Sweet Surrender” on Star Central Coast this afternoon.

Pleasantly surprised to hear something from them that isn’t “Love Is All Around”

I preferred “Sweet Little Mystery” to “Sweet Surrender”.

I still like “Love Is All Around” though,

I heard this on Absolute today with Chris Martin…

Great track… an Absolute staple yet gets very little airplay here in Australia…

(nor did it ever really…)… although the replicated song… ‘Love My Way’ by the 'Furs certainly did… (including on the Foxtel TV show by the same name).

Yes great song.
Love My Way still gets a lot of airplay here on stations like The 80s. It’s also played a lot too on Absolute 80s.

Absolute is an absolutely great station…

It introduced me to Bastille and the 1975 at the same time as playing rock tracks I hadn’t heard in a while…

Plus I loved it when Claire Sturgess played this track within minutes of me requesting it online…
