Underrated & Forgotten Songs: DJ Roundtable with Boston John & Crew | #DJNTV

from DJNTV – Disc Jockey News TV

On Tonight's Boston John's Record Roundup on DJNTV, DJs discuss underrated or forgotten songs and artists. The hosts include John from Boston, DJ Eric from Massachusetts, Ken from Florida, K-Dog from Ohio, and DJ Damon from Dearborn. Key Discussions: Charlene – “I've Never Been to Me” (1976, Re-released 1982) Originally peaked at #97 but hit #1 in 1982. Lyrically introspective, about personal reflection and self-discovery. Possibly gained popularity due to American Top 40 and Casey Kasem's influence. Journey – “Faithfully” & “Don't Stop Believin’” Discussion on Journey’s evolution, Steve Perry’s vocal issues, and his return to music. Notable hits like Wheel in the Sky and Open Arms highlighted. Zager & Evans – “In the Year 2525” (1969) A dystopian song predicting humanity's downfall due to technology. A #1 hit in the U.S. and U.K. The duo never replicated their success, making them a one-hit wonder. N.W.A – “Panic Zone” (1987) A lesser-known electro track on their debut album. Arabian Prince’s influence on early N.W.A and the transition from electro to gangsta rap. Other dance-oriented tracks like “Something to Dance To” were also mentioned. J. Geils Band – Motown Influence & “Flamethrower” Originating in 1969, the band fused rock with Motown elements. Songs like Detroit Breakdown, Must Have Got Lost, and Love Stinks were discussed. Their shift toward pop while maintaining an R&B essence was noted. The video overall explores forgotten gems in music history, blending personal anecdotes with deeper musical analysis.
