2MMM, via perusal of RadioApp, has yielded the following surprises over the last couple of days;

No Say In It- MACHINATIONS
Wide Open Road- THE TRIFFIDS :+1:
Don’t Go Now- RATCAT :+1::+1:

The Ms might be worth a bit of my in-car listening time, provided they don’t have bogan comedy or bogan football commentary of course.

Yes if only they stuck to the music they might get some traction. I for one just don’t like the hybrid music, talk, sport and “comedy” format. I like to know what I’m getting when I switch on the radio in the car.

Three good songs there. The Triffids song is a classic.

Yes, Yes and Yes!

I.O.U. / Freeze right now on Absolute Radio 80s (UK) from 1983.

That’s the song of the week for me so far :slight_smile:

I first heard it on Hauraki


‘Break my stride’

I was singing it at work today and I was amazed at how many people kinda joined in and knew the words


Even some Gen Ys knew the song


Funny
 cos I very rarely ever hear any version on the radio these days


Speaking of versions
 wow
 if a song was big in the 1980s
 the host of the show would even sing it

The Unique II cover was a massive song back in the mid-90s, I remember it well despite being only in single figures age-wise around then. You’re right though that it’s seldom heard in any version on radio these days, nor has it been for years

How do you listen to Absolute Radio 80s?

Yeah I must admit NZ tended to stick with the Spandau beyond Parade.

I remember ‘Fight for ourselves’ on 3ZM and ‘How many lies’


Through the barricades was really popular in CHCH and I remember it being a #1 on the hot nine at nine
 it sounded a bit too ‘Round and Round’, though I do remember seeing the vid on RTR.

I absolutely love Through The Barricades. My personal favourite song of theirs.
