Reaction to the Top 30 Australian Hit Songs of All Time

[@markdowse3572]

So glad you enjoyed such a little bit of Aussie music. But this selection is LIMITED and is not even the tip of the iceberg! 😮😮 Please do some research and find more. You'll love it! 🥰 M 🦘🏏😎

[@glenyskotzur5031]

I love this list of songs... At last an up to date list and not weary old and boring list.. Although I wouldn't choose Darryl Braithwaite... BTW , I'm a 64yr old grandmother..😊

[@pamagnolia]

A lot of great music!

[@TheTemper2]

I Was Only 19, by Redgum! needs to be there!!

[@stevenbalekic5683]

Sia is also Australian too

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

It's great that you are interested in Aussie music. From your name, I assume you're from the Gombe state, maybe Tangale? There's a great musical tradition in northeastern Nigeria. Some of the off-beat rhythms you'll find also in some Aboriginal and Torres Island music. Asante sana (🇰🇪).

[@Notric]

There are so many more but he did a good job.

[@spiderrabbit1556]

This is not the best music from Australia just some random guys personal opinion

[@michaelbuchli7169]

Hi Guy's pretty good selection but there's a lot better take care 🇦🇺 😊

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

Yeah, not really a good representation of our music.

[@daveamies5031]

The Bee Gees didn't even make an Honorable mention? Stay'n Alive was massive worldwide. I guess the problem is too much good music from Australia, but it was a bit unfair to give Jimmy Barnes twice, ok once as Cold Chisel, but still for what he left off that was unfair.

[@Roboto2073]

There was a few of them that I didn't know were Australian.

[@musik102]

The greatest Australian song? "The Band Played Walzting Matilda " . It will be played 1000yrs from now.

[@surfin4]

thats pretty optimistic.......well thats enough of this mullet wasteland!

[@musik102]

@surfin4 Great songs of " social significance" and historical content, will tend to outlast love songs.

[@morningsky8045]

This list is clearly the narrator's own personal favourites and bears no resemblance to the best Aussie songs of all time. He sounds like he hasn't hit puberty yet.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

All lists such as this one are necessarily subjective. My early teen and tween Sunshine Coast grandsons say this list is "fine" - with a typical teen shrug. My 75-yr old self don't even recognise some of these.

[@morningsky8045]

@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 Ditto (from a 70-yr old). The younger generations have probably never heard of The Seekers, maybe not even LRB - or anything back in the days when songwriting meant something. I've never tried to put together a list of the best Aussie songs but only half-a-dozen of this lot would even come under consideration. The Australian penchant for including New Zealanders as our own is a bit rich too.

[@furryboy80]

Well he said so ih his introduction...

[@morningsky8045]

@@furryboy80 Well perhaps he should make that clear in the video's title as the people reacting have taken it on face value. Whatever the case he clearly has no idea of Australian music history.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

@@morningsky8045 like he said his list, not the ultimate list. There was nothing on the list that didn't deserve to be on the list, wished he'd done his honourable mentions list as well. Would've liked that

[@Ub3rSk1llz]

as an australian, terrible list lol. and the videos that guy picked are also terrible.

[@katehack1677]

Videos are the worst. All of the artists are on their retirement tour 😂

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

It's a outrage that You Am I Berlin chair didn't make the top 30 list

[@Pendragonau]

As an aussie this guys list was not the best there are so many more better songs to this.

[@jimpy476]

Couldnt find room for Chandelier by Sia is a choice

[@gordowg1wg145]

Thing to bear in mind there is ONLY ONE SONG from each artist - some artists have dozens of bangers, many of them international.

[@roryChampion-re2zg]

the problem with khe sahn is that no Australians served there. could have used a different location

[@Nathan-yy2xs]

I have to be honest as an Australian. This guys pick for the best 30 songs of all time in Australia are horrible.

[@joannedonaldson5818]

I agree we have better ones than that

[@KT-ki2nv]

Definitely not the best of all time.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Nick caves have always had a darker tone to them, his addiction issues and the death of his twins in 2015 and 2022 probably helped to promote melancholy of his music.

[@dingodancer]

Only one of his twins died.(2015) The other son who died was his eldest son. (2022)

[@allisonmeekis6033]

Honestly listen to some of these songs that aren't live

[@craighall689]

Have to play the song's longer.... 3 seconds isn't enough 🤦

[@morningsky8045]

@@craighall689 In the case of most of those songs 3 seconds was way too long.

[@leeginn7722]

Two of our biggest Diva's period ,Vanessa and Tina didn't make that list either..JS

[@Greg-r5h]

I can't believe Rain by Dragon didn't make the list ... It's our Drought Breaker

[@danielle5980]

Dragon is a New Zealand band!

[@dylanbrown3758]

No Dragon, no Mondo Rock, no Olivia I could name many more

[@Fiona-zc6oz]

Dragon is Kiwi!!

[@dylanbrown3758]

@Fiona-zc6oz ...... too right they are🙂

[@trevorjames426]

Definitely not the best from Australia. Tame Impala, Powderfinger are not even in the same league as INXS, Divinyls or Icehouse sorry.

[@TooOldToCare-kl3co]

Have to agree, they are not even close. Tame impala, who are they, not even one hit song, one of the most overrated bands in Australia.

[@Kerry-AnneHeinen]

He forgot dance monkey

[@kathydurow6814]

Or maybe he didn't? I suspect there's a group of people who dislike that song, either because it was "too popular" so recently, or maybe because Tones wasn't some 80s male rocker. Give it time & maybe Tones a chance to do more work. Very little on this list came out post-2000. Maybe Gotye, can't think of anyone else. Troye Sivan is also missing, also The Kid Laroi, Dean Lewis & probably others I've forgotten. Also this list is mostly rock/pop, so there might be some iconic country songs missing from this list ("I Love to Have a Beer With Duncan" or "Pub With No Beer", Slim Dusty, anyone?). Or iconic singers in other genres whose names we still know today, like Dame Nellie Melba or Dame Joan Sutherland.

[@DarrenHunt-uz1ug]

Crap list ,my god,where's LRB or the Bee Gees to start with ,Powderfinger,Silverchair.

[@kathydurow6814]

Silverchair's Tomorrow was there.

[@katehack1677]

🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼 Why play 3 seconds of a bad live performances 20 or 30 years after the song was a hit? Such injustice to some good songs. Young persons list.

[@markflint2629]

BS So biased

[@falcotol9299]

Not my cup of rock! The guy himself is Nr1 to me: Nr1 in bad taste!

[@KT-ki2nv]

Sorry, I don’t agree with this list. Missed the best by a long way.

[@rodmckeav1159]

Sorry but AC DC is not from Australia they are from Scotland, they moved to Australia early in there careers.

[@peterlinsley4287]

Sorry, not early in their career. Angus was 8 years old when they migrated to Australia. The Easybeats were number 10 and Australia's first international rock band, and Angus and Malcolm's big brother George was the guitarists and one of the songwriters and the a full decade later played base and managed and George and band mate Harry Vanda was their record producers when AC/DC when the first started and after Bon died.

[@rodmckeav1159]

@peterlinsley4287 Agreed but they are still not from Australia.

[@letstalk3265]

What BS.

[@guccigasbag2780]

What BS ? 😂 yes they were born overseas and grew up from preteen to adulthood in Australia. They FORMED the band in AUSTRALIA what “ moved to Australia early in their career” what BS are you talking about? 😂😂 go look it up where and when they formed the band. You do realise that 33% of Australia’s population was born overseas in latest census right? My grandparents (both sets) and dad were born in Italy. My mum is first generation to be born in Australia. 🇦🇺🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@rodmckeav1159]

@guccigasbag2780 Thanks for agreeing with me that they weren't born in Australia which was all I was saying jackass!!

[@danielle5980]

AC/DC arent an Australian band

[@morningsky8045]

@@danielle5980 I didn't know that but thank goodness. I'll sleep much easier knowing that.

Rubbish. Formed in Sydney, Aust!!

[@morningsky8045]

@@Fiona-zc6oz It matters not to me where they are from. Either way they don't feature in my top 30.

[@danielle5980]

They may have been "formed" in Sydney, but none of the guys are Australian, and it was in London when they received there record deal. So no i dont class them as an Australian band. They are an English band.

[@aleshagosling6289]

Poor Phil Rudd, AC/DC drummer from 1975, born in Melbourne, Australia, but declared by you as not Australian 😢

there is way more songs from Australia then this, Its just the tip of the iceberg
