Pop Songs You Loved that Disappeared and No Longer Hear

[itsnotmeitsu]

The one that springs to mind for me is Daniel Merriweather, 'Painted it Red'[?]

@AlecTrevelyan006 thank you, wouldn't let me quote you above. Thank you other posters who suggested Chris Rea but wasn't him

@Graphista I listen to forgotten 80s every Sunday always some great song on there. I turn it on around 4pm to listen to the old charts first then forgotten 80s. Highlight of my Sunday

Benny Mardone Into The Night,fantastic song but the video is creepy as shit.

@GreenTeaPingPong

Einstein A-Go-Go by Landscape.

"you'd better watch out, you'd better beware
Cos Einstein says that E=MC squared"

Really weird yet catchy.

I have it on one of my Spotify playlists. Recently read the lyrics and it's quite disturbing!

Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now - Samantha Fox

If you take away the sometimes unnecessarily try-hard-sexy lyrics and the gratuitous images used to publicise her spin-off music career (not difficult to see why they did it, granted), Sam Fox was actually a really good pop singer with some really good, catchy tunes.

Turning the OP title on its head, one song they play quite a bit on Radio 2 that probably should have disappeared is Trouble by Lindsey Buckingham. The main body of the song is truly meh, generic and so forgettable, but what on earth is with the Vic & Bob-style club-singing right at the beginning?!

Wishing I had a photograph of you - Flock of Seagulls

A Little Peace - Nicole (Eurovision I think)

@WeThreeKingsofOrientAre

Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover Sophie B. Hawkins

Just another day - Jon Secanda

For your babies - Simply Red

Jesus he knows me - Genesis

Run to you - Rage

Altogether now - The Farm

Walk away - cast

Where are you baby - Betty Boo

Amerie - 1 thing

Snoop dog - let's get blown

Apache Indian- Boom Shack a lak

Chance - Big Country

Utopia - Goldfrapp

@groovergirl

Sorry folks. See this video for a better view of as the essence of 1988!

Boris Gardiner - I Want To Wake Up With You

Both a bit cheesy, but nice, nostalgic pop songs, nevertheless.

I've been listening to Kisstory when in the car and it's an amazing mix of songs for people in their 30s/40s, all the tunes we would have partied to when I was about 20. Like Christina Aguilera - Dirrty followed by Cha Cha Slide, Take me to the Clouds above. Justin Timberlake Sexyback! All of the terrible classics.

Boris Gardiner - I Want To Wake Up With You Glenn Medeiros - Nothing's Gonna Change My love For You

I love the Boris Gardiner one, mellow Sunday morning tune 🙂
