Going to have to start writing the song names down above the video.
There's two videos in the Christmas thread that are gone.

One set the video to private: All I wrote was "Another 90's Classic". I don't remember what it was and being classic could be anything heh

Pet Shop Boys - What Have I Done To Deserve This?

[Buzz]

There was one DJ at KROQ that discovered a lot of 80s bands and played their stuff on the air for the first time. Rodney Bingenheimer, "Rodney on the ROQ".

"He has been described as the first DJ to play many up-and-coming bands, including the Runaways, Blondie, the Ramones, the Pandoras, the Hollywood Squares, Social Distortion, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Oasis, the Donnas, No Doubt, Dramarama, the Offspring, the Go-Go's, Germs, the B-52's, X, Sex Pistols, Teenage Fanclub, the Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and others."

good to know...there was also a Rodney Bingenheimer in Europe (England) who promoted small, unknown bands...John Peel had a weekly radio show on BFBS during the 1960s and 1990s, which he dedicated exclusively to punk and alternative bands...additionally, he organized the so-called "Peel Sessions" for these bands, enabling them to record and release their own tracks on vinyl despite their lack of resources. Here is an example (its a *cough* Garry Glitter cover *cough*)
