Probably by someone who hasn’t heard it for many decades: it sounds like it was played on a toddler’s toy piano.

Quite surprised by the song variations here. Eg, for Midnight Oil, there has been ~10 different songs chosen.

Short Memory
Hercules
Beds Are Burning
King Of The Mountain
Trugannina
Jimmy Sharman’s Boxers
US Forces
Power and the Passion
The Dead Heart
Armistice Day

Only 8 more to go to complete the album, then.

I seriously contemplated “Redback on the Toilet Seat” as one of the most Australian songs ever sung, followed closely by the Newcastle song.

Blue Sky Mine
Forgotten Years

Absolute locks for mine. Coincidentally their compilation 20,000 Watt RSL was 18 songs, 75:55 minutes.

Best band Australia has produced imo.

AC/DC more commercially successful… But in the words of one of their band members, they made one album 18 times. I’ll take the Oils.

I actually had it listed but swapped it out for Friday On My Mind.

And it was a toss up between it and Pub With No beer

I’ll fight ya for Cold Chisel. Far better band.

I’ve come in here to add WPA - Tale They Won’t Believe to my list.

Will probably also add Me Floppy - The 1992 WS Cox Plate, just because a childhood spent in TABs made that one meaningful!
