Wow that’s shocking, anything else decent that’s been playing on the MMM’s?
I apparently heard “Senses Working Overtime” on Triple M Regional via “Triple M Newcastle” on their “Awesome 80s Fridays” earlier today. Apparently the Regional MMMs and Triple M in Adelaide and Brisbane still does the “Awesome 80s” playlist whilst Sydney and Melbourne have dropped it recently.

I’ve been sampling some of the SRN stations online over the past day or so.
Listening to 2DU Dubbo right now…
Neil Diamond - Shilo
Bread - Baby I’m A Want You
Splinter - Costafine Town (made top 20 here in 1975)
Little River Band - It’s A Long Way There
Yesterday 2HC Coffs Harbour
Olivia Newton-John - Magic
Jewel - Standing Still
Diesel - All Come Together
Ray Stevens - Everything Is Beautiful
Neil Diamond - Longfellow Serenade
Rick Price - Not A Day Goes By (probably still played a lot elsewhere, but I haven’t heard that one in ages)
Not long after, the stream started breaking up and skipping about, so that was it.
Seems SRN like Neil Diamond, but kudos for them playing something different instead of Sweet Caroline or Cherry Cherry!

REO Speedwagon - Take It On the Run on Breeze this morning. REO doesn’t get a lot of mentions in this thread.

Probably fits into their demos nicely… the 70+ somethings on their rocking chairs or gophers.
That’s a brilliant song.

Funnily enough, you’ll never guess what Breeze played just this afternoon after our conversation in the other thread:
And later on, Rebel did its bit for tourism in South East Asia by playing Holiday in Cambodia by Dead Kennedys

Heard a few bangers whilst having lunch at the Galaxy Buffet at the Mayfield Ex-Service Club
“What it feels like for a Girl” - Madonna
“Strangelove” - Depeche Mode
“To Be A Lover” - Billy Idol
“Lay Me Down” - Sam Smith
The second song being an underplayed song on radio from Depeche Mode as you only hear “Just Can’t Get Enough” as the song has been flogged to hell and back by mainstream artists here as they’re probably an underrated band in Australia and globally acclaimed everywhere else.
