I love a lot of Prince songs, but personally this isn’t one of them

Darude - Feel The Beat
Reached #20 in 2001, despite most radio stations trying to focus on Sandstorm.

Nothing Can Divide Us by Jason Donovan. On SWR, to be honest I dont think 2day fm / Triple M played this song in 1988, they refused to play Kylie.

The two big hits by Al Stewart, “Year Of The Cat” and “Time Passages”.
Both great tunes with classic Alan Parsons production, but both largely lost to the sands of time.

I used to hear Year Of The Cat all the time (almost daily) at work for years. It drove me crazy!

Higher Than Hope- Daryl Braithwaite
Probably his best hit, but all you hear now is 'Orses and maybe One Summer.

I like “Let Me Be” and “One Summer” as other hits of his that as also deserve more airplay.
I also hear " As The Days Go By" a bit too.

Yes; I forgot to mention that one. ‘All I Do’ is another good one, rarely heard. I also recently rediscovered his minor hit ‘Barren Ground’ which I hadn’t heard since its 1994 release.

Does anyone regularly listen to stations in after-hour times? A lot of songs they regularly never play come up.

Used to when I was at Uni at the start of the decade, then later when I was starting work but now with the semi mindless talkback now dominating the overnights I’m finding the after hours stuff is not a whole lot different, except maybe they’ll play extended versions from time to time.

Ca Plane Pour Moi by Plastic Bertrand just played on Mix 106.3, although it was credited to “Plastic Bertrand Band” on-air (due to the fact that the singer didn’t really provide lead vocals)

I think this is the best thread to post this in…
Rage on ABC on a Saturday night is playing old Countdown episodes in January. Loving the music and the many hits we no longer hear. Too many to mention. Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman” was the most bizarre. The Human Leagues “Love Action”. I flashed back so fast that I nearly needed to call an ambulance. Melissa Manchester? Wow.
Loved last night’s first episode from 1982 when they played Cliff Richard’s “The Only Way Out”. Greedy Smith and another member of Mental As Anything made complete fun of the song. Ahhhhh, when the media was no so rehearsed and safe. The teenagers of the 80s had it good.
In Molly’s segment he had a go at Sydney’s 2SM and Triple M for not picking up John Cougar Mellencamp’s “Hurt So Good”. How funny - one of the most overplayed hits ever was not originally heard on either station.
