British Reaction to Top 30 Australian Songs of All Time
australia reaction reacting to australia australian australian music reaction
ACDC- "ITS A LONG WAY TO THE SHOP IF YOU WANT A SAUSAGE ROLL"
Yes we all sang that at school.
We used to call them Acca Dacca.
“It’s a long way from the ground when you’re getting really old” is increasingly my anthem😂
It's a long way to the cross if you want to f##k a mole
*Chicko Roll, mate.
@@Your.Uncle.AngMoh being fancy now 😉
The fact that the bee gees didn't get in, not even in honourable mentions is unbelievable.
The bee gees are widely considered as pioneers in music, with thier influences spreading wide and far.
Possibly the most important band our wonderful country has ever produced
Yep the mid 1960s to 70s ballads, disco era to writing other peoples song's like Grease
Easy Beats, but no Johnny O'Keefe? The Bee Gees for sure should have been in there along with Daddy Cool, Dragon, Little River Band and maybe even Leo Sayer and Marcia Hines.
Little river band and Bee Gees should be up the top. Even as Herbert were great.
And nothing from the Seekers - they did more than anyone
@@TheCaptainbeefylog dragon were from nz 😅
No way this is the top 30 Australisn songs of all time
He said in his opinion.
Do you disagree with all the songs or just some? What do you think he missed? What do you think should not be in the list?
Let's just say he missed a lot that would be classed betteryhan a lot of these
a GOOD comp, but hardly top 30! #1 was pretty much correct tho!
Music is subjective.
You could have included many more Australian songs/bands. But for all who have served, including current, in our armed forces and those who have given their all for our country, I was only 19 by Redgum stands out. Always gives me a tear in my eye everytime it is heard.
Yes! That is an iconic and important song.
Apparently Paul McCartney heard The Easybeats “Friday on my Mind” on his car radio and called up the radio station and asked them to play it again.
The Easybeats were huge in England in the 60s. The 2 guitarist George Young and Harry Vanda wrote all the songs for the Easybeats and then for the lead singer Stevie Wright after the broke up. Vanda and Young were the most influential songwriters and producers in Australian music in the 70's and 80's. With smash hits like Stevie Wright Blackeyed Bruiser, Guitar Band and the epic Evie i, ii and iii now there is a song. They also produced a lot of Australia's big bands, including George's little brother's band AC/DC. Vanders and Young were also mentioned in Dire Straits song Sultans of Swing they are the guitar George, and Harry doesn't mind. They also had a band that apparently was big in the UK in the late 70's Flash in the Pan. George also played base for AC/DC at the start. If your looking for a song it would have to be Evie i,ii and iii. About a man who meets a girl they fall it love and she dies in child birth. The Australian rock song.
I was at friends on Good Friday and the had random music videos playing on the outside TV and Ted Mullary Gang Jump in my car came on another Vanda/Young classic along with love is in the air or Yesterdays Hero JPY. For this reason I always say Friday on my mind is Australia's greatest song because not just a good song but the legacy of Vanda and Young. Saw a great doco on them I think it was called blood and thunder the Australian soind
I included Evie 1, 2 and 3 on a video jukebox when I was with Nightlife music and had to remove it because that was all that was being played. 1 coin got 3 songs, so the publicans complained. The fact that on most sites we were taking the coins for a free jukebox seemed to be lost
on most of the publicans. The fact that everyone in the pub bought more beer to hear it being played seemed to be lost on my business partner. That was how we sold the juke box. People stayed longer in the pub to hear their song being played.
perhaps he should say of 'his time' not all time. I would replace at least half of these.
could have been titled "Top 30 songs of Trple J.The unlistened to radio station"
@@skullandcrossbones65I listen to it.
@@ianmontgomery7534 That's nice for you.
Triple J sux...tis the unwanted garbage that mainstream thankfully won't play...akin to todays complete TRASH 🗑️!!! 😮💨
@@juliecook6057show that you are not open to new things. Stay on Gold.
This is definitely subjective and not a good representation of best artists to come out of oz
he is a jjj listener
How would you make a list like this objectively?
@@davidbleus3053 record sales would be a good place to start
@@rhiannonmarks7995 I thought that too but I’d say “Best song” doesn’t necessarily equate to record sales. The record sales list would be called “most popular songs”. There has been some really crappy songs in the charts over the years.
All great songs but they really ignored the great music of the 70's and early 80's.
That's why these top... whatever songs are way off. It's based on the era the creator grew up in
Yep I Agree. Some would not blow wind up earlier leaders.
Aussie 70’s and 80’s could easily fill this whole list.
The people constantly doing Aussie songs compiling, reaction and rating songs should ALL be sacked... they're bloody useless !!!
Olivia Newton John... beautiful irreplaceable voice of an angel 😇...R.i.P !!!True Aussie legend regardless of being born British !!
No. 1. "I Am Australian," by The Seekers. It's spine-tingling, bringing tears to the eyes !
The guy that compiled this top 30 Oz songs list did not pick these artists best songs......
At least The Angels made this list. Left off so many.
They are absolute the Bomb. They really do not get the recognition they should.
Not even scratching the surface,so many more than this.
Firstly, Kay San breaks the rules here - Jimmy Barnes was already number 5 (with a better song). Secondly, it's not even the most iconic song about Vietnam - that belongs to Only Nineteen.
What about Torn (Natalie Imbroglia), Shine (Newsboys), Hot Potato (Wiggles), Physical (Olivia Newton John), Staying Alive (Beegees), or Run to Paradise (Chiorboys)
gees mate, have you been living under a rock? most of these have been top hits world wide.
Yep every song, I haven’t heard this. Why he do the video.
The greatest songwriter , IMHO, is a guy called Ross Wilson. He wrote Eagle Rock ( inspired Elton John to write Crocadile Rock ). But to my mind his best song Ross ever wrote is a touching balad called " A Touch of Paradie"- beatiful, peaceful and such a well crafted song John Farnhan does a wonderful version of it and also recognises Ross Wilson as the greatest writer ever. Check it out, that Melbourne Symphony Orchestra , Ross and John do a great rendition. It's a pice of music that should go down in the annals of time. I've been a musician for 55 years know so I think you should ceheck this song out. A beautidul piece.
Totally agree, Ross Wilson is highly under recognised.
So do I! He's very under recognised here. Daddy Cool is the only band that I've seen; Australian or International, that have made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Eagle Rock should have been at least in the top 5 and its not even Daddy Cool's best song, only the most widely known. I'm also a musician. Thanks for mentioning Ross.
I would argue Iva Davies is better (songwriting)
Will check out that version - have always thought it was Farnham's best recording....
Gotye is an Australian citizen but was born in Belgium and moved to Australia at 2 years old. The female singer Kimbra in the Someone that I used to know is a New Zealand artist. Crowded House is considered a New Zealand Band in New Zealand.
Tim Finn considers Crowded House an Australian band. They were formed in Melbourne by Finn and Hester and theyvrecruited Deymour. Most of the early songs are about Melbourne too, as all 3 resided there for years. Their last gig was also on the steps of the Opera house not in New Zealand.
How would anyone consider them a Kiwi band, are the 2 Aussies irrelevant and the fact they firmed in Melbourne.
Neil Finn has told an Australian newspaper that Crowded House was a proud Australian band and most of its songs were inspired in Melbourne.
As for Goyte, he is Australian, he immigrated at 2 years old and speaks with an Australian accent and lives in Sydney. . I'm sure he doesn't consider himself Belgian.
@duncanmackenzie4076 they said the same to nz papers... unsurprisingly lol. 50% kiwis 50% Australians.. but the songs were written by the kiwis 🤫 they name drop te awamutu of all places lol.
@@sammacculloch446 it takes 1 man to wrote a song, but a band to compose it. Crowded House were w Australians and Kiwi formed in Melbourne where they were based until their farewell gig..mostvof their hits were written about Melbourne. If anything you could claim they are a hybrid Australian/NZ band. But they are classified as Australian.
Can really feel those Belgian roots from the first two years of his life coming through. I suppose it was originally sung in Flemish, then later translated for commercial radio yeah...
Absolutely amazed that the Seekers did not get a mention."We are Australian" should be and will be our national anthem if we get a chance to vote on it
The Seekers knocked the Beatles off the UK charts with Georgie Girl
I missed the Little River Band in that list. Hardly.
Nice and well-meaning compilation, but this list is simply not the Top 30 Australian Songs of All Time. The age of the creator has massively skewed the selection. What about one of the many iconic songs from the Bee Gees, Little River Band, Ross Wilson, The Seekers, Daddy Cool (Eagle Rock), Helen Reddy (I am Woman), The Masters Apprentices, Russell Morris (The Real Thing), Billy Thorpe, John Paul Young - the list goes on and on.....
"Top Australian hit songs of the 80's" is a far better list, cliche but the 80's was peak music scene in Australia
1927 ❤
To get a better overview of the Australian music scene, l recommend you react to The Top 150 Australian Bands and Singers compilation.
Jimmy Barnes does a duet with John Farnham when something is wrong with my baby watch one of the live versions
is that the 1 with Diesel playing guitar?
@@siryogiwan yep
the iconic dance of Peter Garret ... OILS Forever! Loved US Forces
They would be more recognisable if you showed non live versions. I'm an Aussie and don't know many of these songs. Triple j isn't everyone's cup of tea
Agreed. Triple J has a niche audience and isn’t particularly representative of the general populace.
Steven Kilbey of The Church famw went to my school .. a year above me. He stood out then. Arty poet.
Kasey Chambers’ cover of lose yourself is worth checking out
Here's the truth! The top 30 Aussie songs of All Time are from the 60's and 70's, no question no argument, just plain fact!
And of COURSE the 80's...STILL voted as one of the GREATEST eras in musical history !!!
One could consider the Bee Gees Australian that's were they formed even admitted they do consider it home spent their child hood here. Little River band, Olivia Newton John, Helen Ready - I am Woman was the anthem of women in the 70s ..........no idea!
Lol man says Bee Gees are Australian then says .... no idea 🤡
@@pucknhusker9426ok then.... the list is a dead dingo's donger! still fail to understand.? The Bee Gees are one of the worlds biggest artists ever! 60s 70s 80s 90s if they have an Australian connection with videos of them saying they consider Australia home then they should be on the list.
You can delve much deeper into Aussie music. And once you go down that rabbit hole you'll discover amazing music
I second Rhiannon Marks’ recommendation for you to watch “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby, by John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes. Most of us like the live version from the TV show “Hey Hey It’s Saturday”. I think you’ll love it. My other recommendation is a concert with John Farnham & Tom Jones. Just as happens with Jimmy, John Farnham’s voice is amazing together with Tom Jones. They did an earlier impromptu duet on Hey Hey and you could tell that the two guys resonated well and should work together. The concert is one of the best you’ll ever hear!
Somebody forgot Olivia Newton John, Daddy Cool, RatCat, Regurgitator, Spiderbait, Bee Gees
This is very much a personal list.. I was born in australia and have lived here for over 50 years and there where a few of these songs that i have never heard..
it's a tough task compiling only 30, you could do a top 200 and still have to leave out some absolute bangers
This is a small list from one radio station and has ignored many great songs and singers from Australian music history. Very little from the seventies and eighties. Even the songs chosen for some of the singers weren't their best. Ask twenty different people and you will get twenty different lists. Ask 5 different age groups and you will get totally different lists. There are hundreds of great Australian singers and groups and you will never get a list that everyone will agree on but at least it does start a conversation and enlightens non-Australians as to just how much talent there is in Australia.
John Farnham suffered oral cancer and had to have massive jaw surgery. Sadly he has not been able to perform since, but is cancer free. He will always be a national treasure to us, and you DEFINITELY need to check out "You're The Voice". Incredible musically and the message hits hard.
Of all Australian songs out there, only one is so massive that it has its own day Dec 21st and there is a movie coming out later this year about it as well. No other song can say that.
Why is the dude using such terrible recordings? Some of them seem to be recorded on phones from the audience, and they're barely recognisable. Good songs, but it's an unfortunate compilation of videos. And, 'a beautiful story of indigenous culture', really??? That's an exaggeratedly romantic way of saying 'It's a demand for recognition of Indigenous rights.' And no, 'You're the Voice' didn't go big all over the world. It's extreme popularity was pretty much restricted to Australia, though it was heard by a few overseas.
If you don't know you aint to smart are ya...
@@alwaysright3718 Alright. I probably walked into that one. I need to stop drunk commenting, lol.
He was obv trying to avoid copyright notices
Erm...allow me to disagree! "You're The Voice" was in the Top 20 in countries like Sweden (#1), Germany (#1), Switzerland (#3), Ireland (#3), UK (#6), Austria (#6), Denmark (#9), Canada (#12), Belgium (#13), New Zealand (#13) and The Netherlands (#20).
If you can do better, compile your own list and put it on RUclips. Then see how many people hate on you, because there morons
Jimmy Barnes is also co lead singer of cold chisel
There is a beautiful video on You Tube of ‘Great Southern Land’ with shots of Australian landscape. ACDC played a lunchtime concert at my Sydney high school in in1973 or 1974. Cost 50 cents to go into the school hall to see them.
I actually prefer the version done for Young Einstein :)
We had a band come to my high school in 69 (Adelaide) can't remember who it was, might have been AC/DC
@@SalisburyKarateClub It couldn’t have been AC/DC. They didn’t form until 1973.
Sounds like you paid way too much to see that mob. If someone offered to pay me to go I'd still knock them back. Absolute rubbish where every 'song' sounds exactly the same imho.
p.s. I'm old.
@@morningsky8045 What do you think I am? I was the class of ‘74!
Evie is still my favourite Aussie song.❤
Mine too. Just love it.
You can’t pay most Aussies to listen to Kylie Minogue. Her little sister can sing.
And she's so pathetic td need to be paid to watch her
its funny they still call her aussie when she has lived in england for the last 35 years and all her hits were written and produced by british producers yet an kiwi in australia is an automatic aussie if they sing or act
@@bodybalanceU2 well both she and her sister are part of that myth propagation. I could just about throw up every time i see some music show talking about the 'aussie music icon/legend' (usually by Dani but we don't see much of her these days either). No its the media calling her an aussie but she definitely is an aussie, she's just never been really popular with Aussies. unless its the gay community.
@@bodybalanceU2 that's Austryins for ya. Half these half wits call Bee Gees strayin. Pack of 🤡
Nick Cave was the only one on the list for me.
we are here and proud from the oldest culture ... they made us .. thank god
The crowd shut out "NO WAY GET FUCKED FUCK OFF" with the Angles. 😎
Its impossible not to shout out that bit when listening lol
His T-shirt also says that catch phrase.
Damn, the Sky Hooks never get any love. But then you got Hill Top Hoods on the list. 😂😂😂😢😢😢
Somebody That I Used to Know" is a song written by Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter Gotye, featuring New Zealand singer Kimbra.
Gotye was born in 1980 in Belgium but his family emigrated to Australia 2 trs after he was born.
He's Australian,shes a Kiwi, we both have awesome music/musicians down here,
Gotye and Kimbra, obvs.
If you don’t know Australian music why bother?
never heard of no 27 but these songs were only voted on radio station Triple J there are a few other lists that disagree with this list. They are missing How's that by Sherbert, Love is in the air by John Paul Young for starters. As for Crowded House well the band is a mixture of Aussies & Kiwis lol and the Easy Beats were all born in the U.K and in Holland but formed their band in Sydney N.S.W the Poms tried to claim them back in the 60's as their own same with the Bee Gees lol.
"You're The Voice" is the #1 IMHO! And why there's no mention of the Little River Band's "Reminiscing" is a mystery to me....
Aussie Represent! Our Artists make a MASSIVE contribution to world music.
I don’t get it when people say, “I can’t believe they’re Australian”. Why? We have so much amazing stuff to offer the world. We rock in every category in any genre ever.
Maybe because Australia is so underrated world wide
It is okay that Jimmy Barnes gets in the list twice, and at No 1 with Cold Chisel......but Khe San ?
An early hit song that helped Cold Chisel break into the big time, but they must have almost 20 better songs. lol
Not sure if you'll even read this but from this list here's a few suggestions from the ones you didn't know. Australian Crawl are a must listen to, Boys Light Up is a great track but they have plenty. INXS especially their earlier stuff, Don't Change, Baby Don't Cry or Devil Inside but again, plenty of great tracks. Midnight Oil try 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 or Warakurna, Short Memory or Put Down that Weapon. Jimmy Barnes is excellent, Driving Wheels, Working Class, Man, When Your Love is Gone and No Second Prize. And from Jimmy's origninal band Cold Chisel, try live version or Bow River, Khe Sahn, One Long Day, Long Dark Road or Forever Now.
There are heaps more but that should keep you busy for a night. Enjoy.
Don't change is my favourite INXS song, but it was incredibly never released as a single.
Why isn't "that faaarking cats back' by Kevin bloody Wilson make it?
I will have to argue this and wonder why Hey Santa Claus is not the top one in the list ;)
lol
There are many of Kevin's songs worthy of a mention. D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. for instance.
What - no Seekers, Helen Reddy, Peter Allen, Brian Cadd, LRB, Axiom, or the spine-tingling Colleen Hewitt?
And soooo many great others...
Maybe we need another list. 😅
Renee Geyer , Marcia and Deni Hines !!
Nick cave also sings red right hand made more famous in peaky blinders
So many muso's with Scottish backgrounds. A land of many from afar.
FRIDAY ON MY MIND. . . . number one. . . . for me!
Great list, the ranking is irrelevant and many missed out but is an impossible task tbh!
Oh and Gotye, is no one hit wonder. Many hits in Australia and Belgium (his birthplace - moved to Australia at age 2). Somebody..is not even his best song..my favourite is Hearts a Mess!
I can't believe ACDC are not No.1
Went to INXS concert in Mandurah West Australia it was insane. Never seen a bigger crowd.😊
John Farnham will remain my favourite singer of all time, but you gotta do yourself a favour and listen to some Savage Garden. Darren Hayes has an amazing range and his voice is phenomenal!
Crowded House was founded by Neil Finn...a kiwi
Yeah Definitely a kiwi band with a couple of aussies bolted on.
@@donaldstewart444formed in Melbourne, that sounds like a Kiwi band. And I assume the drummer and bass player had nothing to do with their success .
@@Alunticstalkedme4072 you are so correct they are just lucky to be there. Formed by the magic of brotherly competition. The Finns quintessential kiwi. A place on the map Melbourne or any other is completely irrelevant.
@@donaldstewart444 The band wasn't formed by the Finn brothers, Neil formed the band with Hester who was a replacement drummer for Split Enz. Tim Finn only came on board for a future album, get your facts straight. A band formed in Melbourne by 2/3's Australian members kind of sounds Australian. Their farewell c9ncert was also on the steps of the Sydney Opera house. Neil Finn is the primary songwriter, you obviously have never been in a band and created music before if you believe one person is solely responsible for creating music. Tim Pearce a celebrated session guitarist also created many of their iconic guitar riffs too.
As an example, Roger Waters is nothing without the talents of Wright, Gilmour and Mason, just listen to his solo records after he left Pink Floyd.
@@Alunticstalkedme4072 my facts are straight your inferences are not. You want it to be an Aussie band, great be in your list of Aussie bands, but it just wasn’t.
1983 Australia won the America cup. Men at work, Down under. It was all they played on the radio. Australia II, Alan Bond, winged keel.
I just started my first job, amazing times. The Prime Minister of Australia, Bob Hawk, suggested we should all have a day off.
Night clubs in the 80s in Australia. "No way, get fucked, fuck off." You know or you don't know.
And dont forget The Seekers. Yeah, I'm old.
Men at work were beyond phenomenal.
Not many people like Slim Dusty, but he was the man who is Australia.
ACDC play at end of year school social. 1975 or something. I saw Split Endz play about 1973-4 only about 4 people there. I brought their first album Mental Note and got the whole band to sign it.
I was deaf for 3 days after ‘The Angels’ concert in the mid 80’s.
INXS was so famous. Of course the Bee Gees, should have got a mention. Gotye also had a third piece band that sadly broke-up, he was the drummer in that band.❤Australians are so lucky to have had the best backyard garage bands , lots of good times and Everyone should come here at Christmas to set up a tent for the one week Woodford Festival in Queensland.
17:11 on the far left - that's George Young. - older brother of Angus & Malcolm from AC/DC.
Where is Olivia Newton John??
Wow, there are some fabulous Aussie icon songs in there. We are so lucky to have had world-class bands forever.
"My Babe" - Aussie written song - by Cold Chisel, has to be in this list! One of their few not sung by Jimmie Barnes.
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know.
For those that may not know, the name GOTYE is actually, Game Of The Year Edition. 😄
a pretty good list - for me Aussie 70s & 80s rock, pop and rock & roll was the best ever - pub Rock ...
I would included Eagle Rock , that lead to Elton’s Crocodile Rock,The Real Thing by Russell Morris, Carnival is Over by the Seekers, Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield and Eanor Righy by The Zoot., Turn up your Rsdio
Eleanor Rigby by the Zoot most definitely! My favourite Russell Morris song is Wings of an Eagle.
Jimmy barnes=legend
INXS=legends
Cold chisel=legends (Jimmy barnes lead singer)
AC/DC=legends
John Farnham=double legend
And yes silverchair were 13yrs old when they wrote there first hits songs and by 15 had taken on the world. They basically won a competition to record a song and that is how they got started.
It would have been good for him to name a few new Australian artist like
The kid laroi and five seconds of summer
🤣🤣
No skyhooks, no sweet, no hush no John Farnham. Damn we make good music.
Sweet isn't Australian LOL. Farnham is on this list with You're the Voice. Hush? You can't be serious.
I grew up listening to Boney Maroney. I always enjoyed the song! To each his own. Beat the hell out of bay city rollers.
@@johnstath9666 You've set the bar very low with the Bay City Rollers. I do remember Hush from their appearances on Countdown.
the other problem with this list other than the "not many songs from the early 80s backwards" is that he used live videos for a lot of the list, most of which you struggle to know what the song is at first!
Fantastic list...but #1 def no wayyyy not even in my top 20.
Certainly not Top songs of all time, more like top rock songs of recent years plus Friday on my Mind. Australia has a long history of international hits starting with Botany Bay which became popular in the UK as well as Sydney in the early 1790's. Dame Nellie Melba (whom the dessert Peach Melba is named after,) became the first gramophone recording star to have a hit record simultaneously in Australia, UK, and USA, in the late 1890's. It is a long rich musical history, and to dismiss it as "no Waltzing Matilda's" is an insult to Australian culture and music.
How can a top list not include Helen Reddy? Ignore Gurrumul? Forget Daddy Cool? Not feature Russel Morris, Bee Gees, Billy Thorpe, The Delltones, Col Joye, Marcia Hines, Johnny O'Keefe, Master's Apprentices, Twilights, Mixtures, Little River Band, Skyhooks, Sherbet, Olivia Newton John, Split Enz, Jon English, etc, etc, etc
Split endz are a New Zealand brand
And have a listen to Something's Wrong With My Baby sung by Jimmy Barnes ans John Farnham.
9 Midnight Oil lead Peter Garrett became our Environment Minister for a time.
Very much a personal thing. When you consider Sia and Tones and I are also missing. Depends on if you are targeting Just Australians or Generally hits overseas. Because some of these would have had very limited airplay. As someone pointed out The seekers being missing. The Bee Gees.
I've seen the majority of these acts live and feel privileged for it.
Easybeats. The guitarist is George Young. Older brother to AC/DC's Malcom and Angus Young. Good video, not sure I agree with the orginal poster though. Perhaps I'll do one myself. :)
Into my arms is such a beautiful song it relaly is.
Um, excuse me, 'Somebody that I used to know' was not a one hit wonder. Gotye had several absolute classic bangers here in Aus. This song just happened to gain internet virality, all his music is exceptional.
Do yourself a favour and listen to the whole songs. This is an interesting choice for songs ,but would be contentious for most Aussies, lots of icons missing
For anyone saying Crowded House aren’t Australian actually check out where they were formed
They were formed in Melbourne
And one founding member was from Zealand
Neil Finn is a Kiwi Spit Enz was a Kiwi band but Crowded House are not
If they’re considered a Kiwi band then Cold Chisel is a Scottish band
And I guess Australians Nick Seymour and Paul Hester don’t matter
How have you not heard Horses!? One of my favourite songs!
I would have gone shivers. In my arms is good and I think Kimbra is a Kiwi.
All good songs, but there were some massive omissions in this list - artists with significant international careers eg Savage Garden, Bee Gees, Delta Goodrem, Air Supply, LRB, Empire of the Sun and Wolfmother for starters!
there was only 9 i didn't know, i'm an Aussie from 2008, but i have about 50 of my dad's cds
You mentioned you hadnt heard working class man before.That is jimmy barnes .considered one of the strongest voices ever. Check out his version of wild thing done live .the trogs would be jealous. Lol .well worth the look
you HAVE to watch some Jimmy Barnes - he is a star
Australia lost its soul sometimes around the late 2000s. Fun fact, Australian Crawl is actually the technical name for frestyle swimming. But I think they had pub crawl connotations there. There is a lot of good Powderfinger songs to explore.
If you love John Farnham and you liked Jimmy Barnes (frontman for Cold Chisel) then you'll love the duets with Jimmy and John...superb IMHO!
There are so many more, but at least also check out the list of honourable mentions in this video.
Great Southern Land number 1 all the way 👍👍👍
Crowded House... NZ.... Tim and Neil Finn are from Te Awamutu!!
Crowded House is an Australian band. Even Finn says it is.
"Neil Finn has told an Australian newspaper that Crowded House was a proud Australian band and most of its songs were inspired in Melbourne."
Songs which mention Australia or Australian experiences here get a big boost up the ratings. Surely Eagle Rock should be in the Top 30 if not the Top 10.
