Another one is On The Loose by Saga. I distinctly remember that playing on the radio in the early 80's, but now as far as I can tell it never does.
That one and Wind Him Up still get played fairly frequently here in Canada - mostly because classic rock stations (well, all radio stations) here need to get their quota of Canadian content.

Too Shy by Kajagoogoo !! Yep, still love me some Kaja........Nick Beggs’ bassline is up there with Luminol
Haha, my brother and I used to laugh about how much of a 'one hit wonder' they were. Like whenever that subject would come up, one of us would say Kajagoogoo!!! We were pretty young and just silly. Anyway it is a cool song though, surprised they didn't have more hits.
They did have a few, but none as high up the charts as Too Shy. Big Apple was another good one.
They were probably more popular in Europe. Where I grew up(upstate NY), I only ever remember hearing that one song from them.

I remember hearing "99" by Toto an awful lot on easy rock radio back in the early 80s. I still hear a few of their other hits quite a bit, but never that one. Shmaltz, but with nostalgic value.

Rock 'n' Roll (Part 2) - a great instrumental stomper from the early 70s glam rock scene by some guy called Gary Glitter. Never hear it anymore on radio or TV - can't think why?

Jump Into the Fire by Harry Nilsson. Such a great and unique song. I just loved it when I was about 12, still do. First album I ever bought. I still catch a glimpse of it once in a while but it's always in a commercial or bumper music on a talk show, never being played on the radio.

Gary Glitter has a 20+ year history of pedophilia and child sex abuse, is a lifetime registered sex offender in the UK, and is banned in more than 20 countries. That may have something to do with radio stations not wanting to play his songs anymore ...

I think you're right, that one literally never plays on the radio anymore.
