Mate, you are 100% an honorary Aussie.
If you haven't done so already, then check out "Mondo Rock", "Dragon", "Icehouse", "Australian Crawl", "Split Enz", Hoodoo Gurus" and "Noiseworks", to name a few.
I know this track very well as it was flogged to death on radio when it was released.
I can't stand it.
On a side note, the "Go Betweens" drummer "Lindy Morrison" has been appearing recently on a series of TV ads down here for, APIA (Australian Pensioners Insurance Association). It's very depressing.
"Priests of the ancient lullaby"
Definitely his most powerful weapon.
I really love this album and this track is my favourite.
The change up in the intro is very cool.
This question still has me puzzled.
Even with the popularity of Synthwave and the retro 80s stuff, it still remains absent.
The saxaphone was everywhere in the 80s.
100% agree about "Bed of Roses" and "Mr. Rainmaker". I absolutely love those tracks.
100% disagree about the ballads.
"and I didn't need to see his face... I saw yours" is one of the best lines ever written.
Nice.
#2 is especially tasty.
Here's a clip from a legendary Aussie music quiz show that goes into it in more detail.
