AWFULLY AWESOME EIGHTIES: August 2025

Thank you for stopping by! Awfully Awesome 80's is your 24/7 listener-supported internet radio guide to the music of the 80's through the early 90's. We play lost and classic top 40 hits, but we also place a heavy emphasis on the minor charters and non-charters...or as we call them, bottom 45's. Special Mixcloud shows will be announced as time permits. If you have a general suggestion or a song request, then please use our chat widget in the lower right corner or the manual contact form below. Your request will be queued for play in at least 60 minutes if it is already in the station's inventory, or else I will receive an email copy of your request. Please note that those who contribute to the "tip jar" get prompt acknowledgment of their requests, even though I try my best to fulfill all requests that are excellent fits for the rotation. Please read the "Membership Special" post below if you're interested in submitting multiple song requests every day.
If you appreciate what we do, then please make use of our PayPal buttons on the site. You can donate a one-time amount or choose from 10 monthly subscription amounts; the donations will help enhance our programming and keep us on Live365. Yes, Awfully Awesome 80's is legitimate and pays artist royalties!

TODAY'S "FIVE FRESH FISH" - AUGUST 12TH

Here are today's "Five Fresh Fish":

1. Scorpions - "Still Loving You" - '84

2. Stevie Nicks - "Leather And Lace" - '81 With Don Henley

3. The Dream Academy - "Indian Summer" - '87 Single Edit

4. Gregg Rolie - "The Hands Of Time" - '87

5. Tiffany - "I Saw Him Standing There" - '88

I know that #5 is not everyone's idea of a favorite cover, but I may have another entry coming soon that could give a "thumbs down" just as quick as the Honky Tonk Man laying down for the Ultimate Warrior at Summerslam '88: The Wrestlers' "Land Of 1,000 Dances!"

I recently received a request for more Scorpions, so look forward to "Crazy World," "Wind Of Change," and "The Zoo" also coming soon. The latter received a lot of rock radio airplay back in the day. #Scorpions #StevieNicks #TheDreamAcademy #GreggRolie #Tiffany #ISawHimStandingThere
