I did wonder whether Morrison Hostel or We Are The Champignons should get a guernsey…

It’s damn hard.

All present and correct in mine…

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t designed by Wim to be just Oz rock. But nevertheless, down the same well worn path we trod.

You’re quite welcome to include Itch-E and Scratch-E or Paul Mac in yours

Yeah…but that’s where all the good stuff came from :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Only if you count your Disc #2 which wasn’t called for in the OP :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Well I had a crack. Not saying these are necessarily the best Aussie (plus close friends) tracks or bands of all time.

But they will be guaranteed to get Wim’s Alien’s foot tapping (if they even have feet).

Aussie Crawl - Boys Light Up
Bee Gees - Words
Crowded House - Distant Sun
Daddy Cool - Come Back Again
Dragon - Rain

Not getting confused with Stevie Wright here? Gary’s a Seppo I think…
(love it as a song BTW…)

Ah darn. Thanks @BAAKKEERRRR. I’ve gone through my life thinking that song was by an Aussie. Must have got it mixed up with Stevie Wright as you said.

Given that I’ll swap in Stevie Wright’s Evie 1,2 and 3 then.

Have you not read any Wimm music threads/posts before?

Prior to this, the last Wim music post I read was about how he thinks Prince’s Purple Rain is underrated.

He also loves Pop Music so he’s not just an Oz Rock lover (if that’s what you’re implying).

I think he was implying that any list without Kylie Minogue wasn’t going to cut it!

Who was implying that…Klawdy, Wim or HAP?

My reply meant HAP, but who knows. I was thinking Wim might like a top 18 greatest Aus pop songs with great hooks. It could be all killer and no filler and look substantially different to most of these lists!

Hmmm…that would be an interesting exercise…does AC/DC qualify as Pop?

Quite possibly. It’s up to Wimm to decide though …

Great way to spend the arvo. No love for Joe Dolce?
