Welcome, music lovers, to the official blog of Lester the Nightfly Radio, where our tagline isn’t just a catchy phrase, it’s a promise: “You never know what you’re gonna get!”
BEST POP MUSIC OF ALL TIME VOL. 3
We believe the true joy of music lies in discovery, in those unexpected moments when a forgotten gem or a brand new track takes you by surprise and makes you hit that “repeat” button.
- Squeeze with “Annie Get Your Gun” – a classic from 1989 that still holds up.
- Janet Jackson making an appearance with “Together Again” (from 1997) and “What’s Ur Name” (from 2008), showcasing her incredible range and longevity.
- The smooth sounds of Sade with “Like a Tattoo”.
- A touch of classic rock with The Police‘s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” and The Beatles‘ iconic “Blackbird”.
- For those who love a bit of synth-pop, Heaven 17‘s “Key To The World” and Simple Minds‘ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” are sure to get you moving.
- And for something more contemporary, we might even throw in ENHYPEN‘s “Go Big or Go Home” from 2021!
- You could also hear the legendary Prince with “Pop Life” , the unique sound of The Smiths with “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” , or the upbeat “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra.
- And let’s not forget the soulful Janelle Monáe with “Wondaland”.
