I agree with the comment, this compilation was skewed towards Australian-themed songs as opposed to just Australian songs

[@martinwhite3559]

It was a good list. We would all do it a little differently, but I did not mind the list. We had many massive songs in Australia that did not make it big around the world. Indigenous songs were a part of Australian music. No list is going to ever be perfect. Even mine. He got most of it right. Just the order might not be correct I dont think I could have done much better without others disagreeing.

[@markrichardson2508]

[@michaelfink64]

Hi Ryan, I think there were a couple of subtleties in these that you might have missed. The traditional crowd response when the Angels sing "Am I ever gonna see your face again?" Is "No way, get f*cked, f*ck off!" Very Aussie. The mention of Port Adelaide buying out Never Tear Us Apart relates to the fact that it is played just before every Port Adelaide (AFL) home game. The deceased person mentioned on the Yothu Yindi video is the lead singer, Mandawuy Yunupingu. This kind of warning is used regularly on Aussie TV programs if they are showing images of a dead Aboriginal person because Aboriginal people genera;;y have a distinct cultural practice relating to dead people that includes not viewing images of them.

[@utha2665]

This practice is known as "avoidance" or "name avoidance." It involves not speaking the name or showing images of someone who has recently passed away. It helps show respect to the deceased and protects the grieving family from the pain of hearing or seeing reminders of their loved one. Depending on the group, it can last from a feew months to over a year.

[@AURON2401]

And we here in AUS Generally tend to Adhere to Aboriginal cultural practice. Unless it's land. Somehow that isn't part of the picture. (blame big business and Jon Howard/Libs!!)

Ryan. Khe Sanh is worth listening to & do it with the lyrics which tell the story. Cold Chisel is atm doing their 50th anniversary tour which I went to in Melbourne a bit over a week ago. These guys who are either side of their 70's still sound incredible. Probably the best concert I have been to with 10,000 fans in a big circus tent rocking & singing all their hits for 2 hours straight. Legends.

[@janevanbalen1451]

In the 1970s to the 1990s there was a huge pub rock band culture which really nurtured emerging bands by giving them an outlet and places to perform - some really big bands had their start that way. For a whole lot of reasons, pubs don't do live music in the same way any more... the whole music industry is different now ... for reasons I don't need to go into here!

We have a huge Independent and I'll do it my way or not at all music culture. No bands anywhere else in the world gig or work as hard. Crossing the country through the desert in old unroadworthy cars or vans, playing to "dangerous" crowds etc. This produces unique sounds with real grit. E.g. AC/DC. Currently our fledgling artists are doing it really tough, festivals are cancelling left and right, iconic venues are closing. Please support our industry and particularly bands starting out.

[@9wombats]

So true

[@bradweston5342]

Personally, I think "X-Factor Voice Idol Got Talent" television has created a false "entitlement to stardom" among so many young performers without having to do the hard yards so many iconic bands had to do.Even when they do "discover" truly great and worthy talent they are locked up in ridiculous contracts, You are right about venues and festivals though. Many took a kicking during covid and their recovery is being made all the harder by the cost of living and people just not being able to afford to go out.

Not all time, and not all types of music, but it is an excellent selection. Sadly, too many younger music collectors seem to think that almost nothing much happened before the 1980's. So much amazing music happened before 1980. Songs like Helen Reddy's I am Woman and Peter Allen's I Go To Rio were massive world wide. Eagle Rock was amazing, and any of The Seekers hits were huge. By only including a couple of pre-1980 hits this can only ever be a list of favorites from recent decades and comes nowhere close to being an All Time list.

THe TV Show Countown was part of the reason we were once such big hitters in the music industry, that show gave exposure to the small bands who later became household names.

Those that moved overseas to chase the fame and fortune. This group is less represented on this list. Some of the biggest acts ever to come from Aus is not on the list: The Bee Gees (120M+), Olivia Newton-John(100M+), Rick Springfield (5.3M), Little River Band (30M+) (listed with record sales as per Wikipedia).
