Great songs heard on radio

Yeah I do enjoy that station. K-Pop sounds steampunk on AM in a cool way, but it also kind of suits DAB+ because I suspect it’s engineered to be compressed. I have found a lot of great songs on SBS Pop Asia including these:

RIIZE - “LUCKY”

TEN - “STUNNER”

Wouldn’t it be great if SBS Pop Asia played City Pop? They seem to only stick to the last 20 years of music, I’d like to hear deeper dives into the 90s and 80s

Guess who’s been listening to The Conga Line?

Savage Garden- Break Me, Shake Me

(s)hit 104.7 now, just tuning past.

Also Sade- The Sweetest Taboo on ABC Illawarra.

Speaking of Savage Garden, I just heard ‘To the Moon and Back’ on Smooth 91.5.

Guilty pleasure for me (hence not designated as a turd). The first three were Eagle FM classics BITD.

Glad to see you listening again.

A tribute to the late Donald Gibb (Ogre) who passed away the other day. The passing of Robert Carradine (Lewis) also escaped me; this was in February.

A good “Classic 9 At 9” on Triple M tonight (haven’t listened for a while(

#9. Absolutely (Story Of A Girl) - Nine Days

#8. 19/2000 - Gorillaz

#7. 867-5309 - Tommy Tutone

#6. You’ll Never Know - 1927

#5. 1985 - Bowling For Soup

#4. 99 Luftballoons - Nena

#3. 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins

(songs at #2 and #1 didn’t make my list since they were about six strings and partying 17 years too early respectively).

I guess the theme should be obvious? Nein?

I was hoping for some Nine Inch Nails, but again, nein.

The world is spinning too fast
I’m buying lead Nike shoes
To keep myself tethered
To the days I’ve tried to lose

I’m surprised Gorillaz and Bowling for Soup are on that list. Both great songs from the early 2000s and have been heard on MMM 2000s.
