Next Friday I’ll make another thread on a different topic. Suggestions welcome.
Feel free to contribute to this list.
Enjoy and 'ave a good weekend. 🍺
Playlunch - Keith https://youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M
This track is probably too new to be featured on any classic Aussie hit list, but in the future, it should be.
Pauline Pantsdown - I Don’t Like It! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAKPRGjkYsY
Grinspoon - Hard Act To Follow https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GKmx12kIs-I&pp=ygUJR3JpbnNwb29u
IIRC, Grinspoon were the winners of the very first Unearthed competition on Triple J back in the day.
Frenzal Rhomb - Punch in the Face - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z--E9OeuJE
The Cat Empire - 145 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ObJw_NyvaZQ
What an amazing debut album. The highlight for me is The Wine Song
Just want to say this is the sort of thing I made this community for!
Doing my best, Nath 👍
Not onion Skin?
Onion skin is the best.
Honestly, I love that whole album. My personal favourite track is Dancing in the Storm. I was disappointed that they didn’t even rate a nomination for people’s shortlists in the Hottest 100.
Neither did 1927, with If I could finishing at #21 for the year in 1989 on the ARIA charts. I would have shortlisted both bands, not I’m sure I’d have put either in my final top-10.
That debut album from 1927 was HUGE on release.
Knife Party - Internet Friends (NSFW) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=luJJBeCFeM0
Weddings Parties Anything - Fathers Day https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iYKNqftCkSQ
Another album I forgot I loved. Fortitude Valley off that is another banger. I can’t find a link anywhere. I’m sure it was on that album, but apparently not.
Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9btqyo
Murder Ballads is a great album. I like Stagger Lee from that one.
My favourite Nick Cave song
Regurgitator - Hullabaloo https://youtu.be/KT6ugIb9Lgc
I can’t believe Shannon Noll’s cover of ‘What About Me’ made the list, but not the original Moving Pictures one. That song was no. 1 for months.
The Living End - All Torn Down https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ7MNErsMGk
The Cruel Sea - Better Get a Lawyer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UnKPSmg3Ec
Pseudo Echo - Funkytown https://youtu.be/uE-itlGNap4
I’m back on the beers (with some nice, wet biltong) and ready for another afternoon of Aussie classics.
I don’t think any of this is lost.
Things of Stone and Wood - Happy Birthday Helen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAUha6riPjk
The Mark of Cain - Degenerate Boy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAc6E6dFfzM
Area-7 - Nobody Likes a Bogan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAtFqr2WOPM
The Saints - I’m Stranded - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpMwMDqOprc
I don’t think any of this is lost.
It’s subjective, of course. Personally, my criteria for ‘long lost’ is that it didn’t get into the Hottest 100 Australian Songs list or the 200-101 list, just because it’s a convenient standard to apply.
Stranded is the only one of these that got in got in there - at #124 - so I think your selections are fair enough!
