Digital radio has been a blessing for forgotten 70s and 80s stuff, with the dedicated stations there's always something you haven't heard for ages coming on.

I've got a few listed above.

Recently I put together a playlist of overlooked songs, I'll have to post it here.

Oh yes, please do. Once you start thinking of no-longer-played songs, you can really think of loads and loads.
