I am sure the oldies in 1964 were saying the same thing on the beatles :slight_smile:.

That song always takes me back to the “Seven’s Big League” openers from the early 80s when Rex Mossop was the commentator.

Other favorite instrumentals of mine

Fanfare For The Common Man - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer

Touch The Fire - Icehouse

Now Playing on Triple M Aussie.

Another example for me of a less successful hit from that artist being one of their best songs.

Love this one.

Beautiful Life - Ace of Base

Played earlier today on Hit 107, nice to hear a Ace of Base song on radio that isn’t All That She Wants or The Sign.

Heartache Tonight - The Eagles

One you don’t hear much of on WS these days, certainly not on Saturday nights anyway.

It’s undoubtedly been mentioned before, but that song also had a great music video featuring a number of notable journalists/TV presenters from that era! :slight_smile:

The Sound over in New Zealand today played Broken English by Marianne Faithfull (song not album). Has she ever been played on Australian radio? I imagine The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan would be a good fit for some classic hits stations still left.

I think I’ve heard The Ballad of Lucy Jordan on Australian radio (can’t remember which station, though). I know Broken English from US alternative radio; it’s a pretty good song.

I remember hearing it on 6iX when I was in Perth back in October 2012. I also heard it on The Sound when I was in NZ in February last year as part of their A-Z (which starts on Monday).

I have listened to 3GG over the past hour and already heard these unflogged gems:

  • Live Your Life Be Free - Belinda Carlisle
  • Round and Round - Spandau Ballet
  • Dr Beat - Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.

Other stations usually flog “Leave a Light On” from Belinda, “Gold” and “True” from Spandau Ballet and any of Gloria’s schmaltzy ballads.
