Great songs heard on radio

Great song!

Radio only ever really plays “Wouldn’t It Be Good”.

Songs like “I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” and “Wide Boy” also deserve more airplay.

Yes, it is. For @Karen_Cee’s benefit, River 94.9 airs it at 7-9pm weeknights.

FYI, Wave FM doesn’t air the 20/20 Retro Countdown.

The world’s greatest duet…

Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife…

Huge hit in the UK and NZ…

Fizzed here in Australia of course. Far too camp.

I made a request (this one) to Claire Sturgess and she played it within minutes.

Now I could have gone to YouTube or Spotify to hear it.

But the fact a radio announcer played it for me… and others heard it… that’s the true power of radio.

A highly individual and personal moment shared and enjoyed collectively.

Radio. Absolutely.

I was once listening to FM104 late at night… and Karl Van Est was on… what a great voice… and I loved the way he spoke… with… big… pauses…

He played this track and introduced them as the ‘leftovers’ from Split Enz.

Now Playing on Coast FM Gosford.

Great song that surprisingly doesn’t get played much on the various classic hits type stations.

“Remember the Days of the Old School Yard” 1977, Cat Stevens (or whatever he calls himself nowadays ) on Triple M Brisbane this morning :+1:

Yes it’s a good one. I do think Cat had a lot of other great songs too that don’t get airplay at all :frowning:

Sometimes I’m just a sucker for a good ballad.

And I LOVE this one… Just played on Smooth FM

Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough - Patti Smyth and Don Henley

I rarely hear that on Smooth (or any station really).

Just followed up on Smooth by

Everything Must Change - Paul Young

A great song of his that is also under played.

Suck this up:

4th form at Boys’ High first time I ever kissed a girl was to this…

Not heard anywhere here in SEQ for a long time (can’t wait till KQ plays it next).
