All I can say is that tastes differ :smiley:

2, 3 and 4 are instant station-changers for me.

If I never hear Drops Of Jupiter again it’ll be too soon LoL

The Phil Collins one is a banger though

That reminds me.

I heard these two last night on 2RDJ Burwood. They were doing a Top 20 countdown of hits from 1995

Mouth - Merrill Bainbridge

Back For Good - Take That

So Much For Love / The Venetians on the Breeze right now. Gee I love that song.

IIRC this song charted best in Queensland back in the days when they had State-based charts - due to high-rotation on FM104. It was like one of their signature songs for a few months :slight_smile:

Me too! And the 12 inch mix (which I have on this CD below) is a great one too.

Funny how that’s a solid MMM log yet none of those played on MMM

4/5 of those would play on Triple M?

Rooms On Fire / Stevie Nicks right now on 4BH. Great song IMO

Madonna - “Burning Up”

On CoastFM 96.3. I hadn’t heard this song before, so I was surprised to learn that it was actually Madonna’s first hit in Australia.

I definitely remember hearing this track on FM 104 back in the 80s

I agree. There is not one song of hers that I don’t like. One of my favourite female artists

Great song!

One of my favourites of hers too.

Oh wow. You hadn’t heard that one before?

Yes one of her early ones, and one of her best. I still remember the music video ( viewed through the eyes of an early teen boy :grinning_face: )

Nu Shooz - I can’t wait is even better, but the Stevie Nicks song of the same name is good too.

Both great songs, although very different

Brooke McClymont “I Can’t Wait” is another great song with the same title, though later (early 00s).

Oddly not on Spotify or iTunes.

The video is on YT Music although not the song. That’s one of the advantages I think of YT Music is when a song isn’t available the video usually is, and it makes no difference you can still add it to your playlist as a “song”.
