Midnight Oil's songs have been covered by performers such as Pearl Jam (and frontman Eddie Vedder solo), U2, Patti Smith, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Silverchair, Tom Morello (as The Nightwatchman), Billy Bragg and Anti-Flag.U2 singer Bono recorded a speech for Midnight Oil's ARIA Hall of Fame induction, sections of which aired intermittently. He recited the chorus lyrics of their song "Forgotten Years" and hailed the outfit as an "extraordinary" band whose music "brought people's differences together; not to resolve them, just to get them in the same room, up each other's noses"

Well done Alex. We may not like or appreciate a band but sometimes we hear something we did not expect and kudos to you. Midnight Oil are, in my opinion, a voice that represented/confronted so many political, environmental and cultural norms throughout their career (which is not over as I am old enough to have listened to them in the 70's as a teenager and see them live again in 2022). Watch 20,000 Watt RSL to get a bit of an insight, the Exon live protest live in New York, the support and recognition of indigenous Australians, confronting the asbestos mining companies and subsequent deaths and illness of miners ... blah, blah, blah. I watched this concert live in 1985 and dance my ar$e off with my mates and Peter lol Like your channel too guys. Cheers from Australia
