Im a sucker for Aussie 80s Rock, so most of my selections were from australia or NZ, a few international bands there, but i like to stay as close to home as can be

I was never a fan of kiss, alice cooper or any of them bands.

Toto- Africa was unlucky to miss my list, that is a great song, also hold the line by the same band would of been up there to.

White Wedding is a family favourite, my father used to use it in his band alot, so there are some fond memories there.

there are too many good ones thats the problem

but i mainly stuck with aussie stuff.
