I'm mad at australians...

Telecia - my husband is from Sweden. That kind of music is ALL he listens to (and he's a hardcore audiophile). Well, 98% of what he listens to.

Well, it's a pity Peter Garrett can't dance. Kind of like a frog in a washing machine.

I love Beds are Burning, classic aussie guitars. I do recall singing Blue Sky Mine in high school, it was really bad!

Check out Ian Moss (he was also in Chisel, but did have a brief solo career).:clap2:

WOW I loved them when I was a kid. Bringing back the 80's ! Listening to them and the Clash. :whoo:

old people are weird

Blues Traveler is also the sh*t, I got 'Hook' on my playlist right now :mad: (we need a 'grooving' smiley)

You're just discovering them now? Peter Garrett is an old and crusty politician now, roflmao!

They were SERIOUSLY great. Especially before they really hit the big time and were a pub band.

Do me a favour and seek out Cold Chisel too. Might be harder, less successful in the US but a truly iconic Aussie band. I could never ever ever ever get sick of Chisels. Khe Sanh should be our national anthem.

ROFL!! I would vote for Khe Sanh if it was on the bill but if they put Barnsie's Working Class Man on there too, it would be a toss up! And I don't care how old it makes me seem, I work on a mine site these days so that gives me the right to sing Blue Sky Mining at any opportunity!
