  The point is at least 50% of those just aren't forgotten!!
  
  Janet Jackson, Hall & Oates, Howard Jones... And no station plays The Police as much as Absolute 80s!!

  How on God's Earth can 'Keep Feeling Fascination' by Human League be called 'forgotten'?

  A lot of those songs are underplayed.

  So it's up to a so-called niche station like Absolute 80s to start playing them then!!!
  It's not hard ;-)

  Oh I'm sure endless research, surveys, focus groups, listener panels and men in suits all say 'no'.
  
  If it's not Every Breath You Take, Radio Gaga and When Doves Cry every other hour, then it's not Absolute 80s >:(
