This was inspired by Mis recent introduction of John Williamson.
Name some songs, or the one song, that represents or reminds you of Australia.
Not the "best" song by an Aussie band or artist. For example - below is a list from the fox TV channel Max - top 10 Aussie songs as voted by people who watch max. Aussie songs by Aussie artists sure. But do they represent Australia to anyone? Most likely the songs I am after will connect to Aussies only.
I am thinking songs like Reckless -with reference to the Sydney commute, images that could only be Sydney, and then the references continue. These may not appear in top songs lists, but are quintessentially Australian in content, reference, imagery and delivery.
Here is the list from Max:
10. Pleasure And Pain Divinyls
9. Highway To Hell AC/DC
8. Beds Are Burning Midnight Oil
7. Power And The Passion Midnight Oil
6. Flame Trees Cold Chisel
5. Its A Long Way To The Top AC/DC
4. Never Tear Us Apart INXS
3. Berlin Chair You Am I
2. Friday On My Mind The Easybeats
1. Eagle Rock Daddy Cool
Probably only Beds are Burning and maybe A Long Way to the Top would make the list I am suggesting.
So shoot away - links to the songs encouraged.
