Thinking of that waitress that you met in a cocktail bar?

I’d rather hear their other songs like
(Keep Feeling) Fascination, Human, Love Action, Mirror Man (2XL special) and The Lebanon (Mechie Show special). A great song of theirs that was a hit in the UK but not here was ‘Heart Like A Wheel’.

I rarely hear that on the radio.

It’s usually “We Built This City” or “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” that I hear.

Dido - “White Flag”

Nice easy listening track that always puts me in a calm mood. Same goes for “Thank You”, although you don’t hear that one quite as much.

Agree. They used to play that daily on 4BH a while back yet I still enjoy it.

I love songs with the Saxamaphone in it. Some greats with the Sax…Hall & Oates - "Maneater,” Glen Fray - “You Belong to the City,” Icehouse - “Don’t Believe Anymore” and Quarterflash - “Harden My Heart”

I like the one in “Careless Whisper” too.

And at the other end of the scale, the Models “Out Of Mind Out Of Sight”.

An example of a song I wouldn’t play normally, except if it occurs in the Top 3 of my countdown. A small dose of popular music is OK imo.

‘The Power Of Love’ by Jennifer Rush and ‘Hercules’ (Species Deceases EP) rounded out the Top 3 this week; funnily enough you rarely hear either of those. If you hear ‘The Power Of Love’ it’s usually the Celine Dion version.
