Bit rock orientated but that is Aussie pop really and a bit blokey. Tried to get a good 40 years worth of music in 10 albums is hard.

Ac DC - back in black
Cold Chisel - Circus Animals
Flowers - Icehouse
The Church - Starfish
INXS- Kick
Silverchair - Frogstomp
Tumbleweed - Tumbleweed
Powderfinger - double allergic
The Avalanches - Since I Left you
Cog - the new normal

Apologies Karnivool, the presets, baby animals, mental as anything , the saints and a whole bunch more.

Iā€™ll write a different list another night Iā€™m sure.

I need to take a shower

Thatā€™s not on that albumn.

Yeah, good calls.

Geez, Iā€™d sneak Goyte in if I did it again.

True enough.
Did you give me ā– ā– ā– ā–  for playing Heartā€™s A Mess then?

Hope not, thatā€™s one of my favourite tracks. Love it.

Completely not obvious to me which albums I should have in here. Iā€™m going with a ā€œmy favourite/important to meā€ rather than best. Every one puts me in a very specific place and time.

And in no particular order

Flume - Flume
Standish Carlyon - Deleted Scenes
Baby Animals - Baby Animals
The Dirty three - The Dirty Three
Camp Cope - Camp Cope
INXS - Kick
Ping - abcde
Tlot Tlot - Pistolbuttsatwinkle
Weddings Parties Anything - The Big Donā€™t Argue
The Simpletons - Matter

Of course there are about a million other albums that should probably be here, these were just the ones that came to mind. I assume there is an obvious one, or five, that Iā€™ve forgotten.
