When you listen those radio programs with music from the 70s, 80s, don't you always find Dreams, Hotel California, Another Brick in the Wall, Stairway to Heaven, and other nice or good songs but you are tired of?
And there are lot of songs, that were actual singles, but never played on radios now, and even not included in Greatest Hits albums. What song do you remember, and again, I mean singles, not any favorite song from an old album. My list would include:
Melody Fair - The Bee Gees. From Odessa (1969) and included in Melody soundtrack (with Mark Lester). A popular song in Peru, I remember the vynil single, but never found it in any GH album, nor played in peruvian radios nowadays. Actually I'm not sure if it was released as single in several countries. There's a vynil single in Amazon, with japanese characters.
Treat Me Right - Pat Benatar (1980 Crimes of Passion). Another hit in my country, even included in An Officer and a Gentleman soundtrack, but not included in Pat's GH.
Dress you up - Madonna (Like a Virgin, 1984-85). another top-five single I don't usually listen on radios, one of my favorite hits (and videos) from that album. I would include also Angel, also a top-five.
Lost in You - Rod Stewart (Out of Order, 1988) A cool song, a single probably eclipsed by Forever Young or My Heart can't tell you no (those songs usually included in Rod's collections, but no LIY, except by the Storyteller boxset).
Hell on Wheels - Cher. From Prisioner, an underrated and criticized album, maybe that's why it's not included in any hits collection; here it was a huge single when it was included in Roller Boggie movie, 1980. Finally it was included in Cher's Casablanca Years cd.
