Good lord, all these posts and not one mention of arguably one of the greatest power pop acts of all time, the Hoodoo Gurus (who are still touring!).

Brother. I was waiting for someone to bring up the Bee Gees.

All these Aussie bands and no love for Amyl and the Sniffers?! What’s an Aussie word for preposterous?

This seems like as good a place as any to confess that I am 40 years old and until a couple of months ago I would have sworn blind that The Boys Are Back In Town was Aussie.
I suppose I don’t know any/many other Thin Lizzy songs?
All these Aussie musicians and nobody has mentioned EAL’s ex!
I’ll see myself out.

A cover of Whiskey In the Jar or maybe Jailbreak for the casual listener is probably as deep into their catalog that most radio stations go.

Could we get Neil back on the darts for a day or two?

I’m 110% certain that the boys did not listen to any of Brisbane’s own PORTAL during their trip Down Under (and 99% certain no one else in the refuge listens to them besides me) , but they should have.
Can’t believe we’ve gone this long without a Sneaky Sound System mention. Bangers from the college era for me
They played a NYE at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel in the early 2000s. Fantastic night.

Have to imagine they were electric live.

Brilliant. For some reason they reminded me of the Bedroom Philosopher “Northcote (So hungover)”
Just had a wonderful moment reminiscing with a WA pal about my few years year there - Sundays starting at Little Creatures, then working up the coast to the CBH and the OBH… those were some days, man. What a joy.

No John Farnham?
If anyone was wondering how to properly pronounce the name

Farnsie!!
There needs to be more bagpipes in everyday life.
I once worked behind a bar at a function at which Farnsie was a guest. He wasn’t performing, it was his mate’s birthday or some-such. He put in a shift that night. I reckon I served him 12 crownies.

I know there’s a bit of love for Bluey in the group, so maybe some songs by Custard (eg Pinball Les).

All those places are still going strong. Sunday sessions are sadly a thing of my past now though, haha.

Hilltop Hoods? This song ended up on some long forgotten playlist from 20+ years ago and I still enjoy it
I was also in Byron Bay in 2002 and walking down the street and saw Midnight Oil was performing in the pub, but it was sold out and the guy at the front wouldn’t let me in, even though I said please.
