Urgent!



On 5 April 2018, Dave L. and myself returned to RRR 102.7FM to present a survey of the Urgent! genre. Urgent! was coined by Dave and a pal of his to describe a particularly intense form of high-energy AOR, frequently featured in fight scenes of 1980s action films. The archetypal Urgent! song is Frank Stallone's 'Far From Over', above, which spurred the invention of the genre in the first place.
