Not Aussie music, but  snippet of the golden age...

 

 

 

Great music that shook loose much of the world from the clutches of the damned churches. Some of those early Rockers fell by the wayside but others  survived the tumult:

These two play them better than the rest .

Blimey - haven't heard this for years:

Kevin Johnson had many great but underappreciated songs. I have them on LP, one of the reasons I still have a turntable.

I love the music of Tina Arena. Her singing makes my soul soar. She is true artistic brilliance.

[Jerry_Atrick]

HI @Columbo  - and welcome to the forums...

 

Fee free to post your favourites of her and share with the rest of us

 

 

[Columbo]

This is my favourite Tina Arena song, and probably song in general.

In the current aura of highly-charged divisiveness, I think we all need to listen to this song and its words.

If the " voice " gets to fruition,  those words will have to be changed.

' I am but you're not  Australian ' . 'we were one but now we are two ' .

We were Australian.

Would any racists vote YES. Plenty if not all, will vote NO. NOTE I did not say all who vote NO are racist. I could not agree with you LESS, spacey.. IF it FAILS, after Tomorrow the  Rest of the World will view us less favourably and our right to criticise others will  evaporate.   Nev

Based on the ones I've known over the years, I doubt it. Like mixing oil and water.

There will probably be a bit of that. People in countries that have a race biased constitution will probably have some moral credit to critisise us for not having the same, but people in countries that don't have a race biased constitution would be a bit hypocritical to critisise us for being the same as them. I think most critisism would be on an individual level and not on a governmental level.

OK.. these chaps are kiwis, but kiwis are [begrudgingly 😉] honourary Aussies :

 

I had forgotten all about them..

OK. It's a band that comes from England, but the whole World to it to its heart. And now their last song,

 

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

I heard it last night on triple-M driving home from London. It is a nice song; although I liked the Beatles when I was younger, it wasn't quite my style. However, the amount of people that phoned the station to say they had to stop their car and wipe a tear from their eye really did suprise me. They didn't sound terribly old, either; definitely not like they were teens in the 60s and early 70s. I think what really amazed me was that people feel the need to call a random person at a radio station to express their throughts on a song.

 

(Mind you, whenever I post a video here, I guess I am doing the same.. but it is also a bookmark so I don't lose them).

 

Now, speaking of which, here is one that I had forgotten about - a little heavy....

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

I think the world could well do to listen to this track.. Wasn't may fave when I was a lad (and these fellas were one of the bigger bands when I was a lad), but how poignant this song is today:

 

p.s. I lnow most, if any on here, would like it.. but listen to the lyrics...

 

It is as if the world has forgot...

Now let's go back. Way, Waaaaay back. Before Pee Wee Wilson's voice broke!

 

 

[red750]

I was only 15 and living in Deniliquin then.

Not sure if this has been posted before but it's a different rendition of the the AC/DC song Thunderstruck as performed by the band Steve'n'Seagulls. They might look like they're from Tasmania, but they are actually from Finland.

 

 

[Marty_d]

Oi! I resemble that remark.

[Jerry_Atrick]

I hope you're not finnished! 😉

 

[old man emu]

That was really Swede music to my ears.
