The Easybeats were huge in England in the 60s. The 2 guitarist George Young and Harry Vanda wrote all the songs for the Easybeats and then for the lead singer Stevie Wright after the broke up. Vanda and Young were the most influential songwriters and producers in Australian music in the 70's and 80's. With smash hits like Stevie Wright Blackeyed Bruiser, Guitar Band and the epic Evie i, ii and iii now there is a song. They also produced a lot of Australia's big bands, including George's little brother's band AC/DC. Vanders and Young were also mentioned in Dire Straits song Sultans of Swing they are the guitar George, and Harry doesn't mind. They also had a band that apparently was big in the UK in the late 70's Flash in the Pan. George also played base for AC/DC at the start. If your looking for a song it would have to be Evie i,ii and iii. About a man who meets a girl they fall it love and she dies in child birth. The Australian rock song.

The fact that on most sites we were taking the coins for a free jukebox seemed to be lost on most of the publicans. The fact that everyone in the pub bought more beer to hear it being played seemed to be lost on my business partner. That was how we sold the juke box. People stayed longer in the pub to hear their song being played.

The greatest songwriter , IMHO, is a guy called Ross Wilson. He wrote Eagle Rock ( inspired Elton John to write Crocadile Rock ). But to my mind his best song Ross ever wrote is a touching balad called " A Touch of Paradie"- beatiful, peaceful and such a well crafted song John Farnhan does a wonderful version of it and also recognises Ross Wilson as the greatest writer ever. Check it out, that Melbourne Symphony Orchestra , Ross and John do a great rendition. It's a pice of music that should go down in the annals of time. I've been a musician for 55 years know so I think you should ceheck this song out. A beautidul piece.

I second Rhiannon Marks’ recommendation for you to watch “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby, by John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes. Most of us like the live version from the TV show “Hey Hey It’s Saturday”. I think you’ll love it. My other recommendation is a concert with John Farnham & Tom Jones. Just as happens with Jimmy, John Farnham’s voice is amazing together with Tom Jones. They did an earlier impromptu duet on Hey Hey and you could tell that the two guys resonated well and should work together. The concert is one of the best you’ll ever hear!

Even the songs chosen for some of the singers weren't their best. Ask twenty different people and you will get twenty different lists. Ask 5 different age groups and you will get totally different lists. There are hundreds of great Australian singers and groups and you will never get a list that everyone will agree on but at least it does start a conversation and enlightens non-Australians as to just how much talent there is in Australia.

Australian Crawl are a must listen to, Boys Light Up is a great track but they have plenty. INXS especially their earlier stuff, Don't Change, Baby Don't Cry or Devil Inside but again, plenty of great tracks. Midnight Oil try 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 or Warakurna, Short Memory or Put Down that Weapon. Jimmy Barnes is excellent, Driving Wheels, Working Class, Man, When Your Love is Gone and No Second Prize. And from Jimmy's origninal band Cold Chisel, try live version or Bow River, Khe Sahn, One Long Day, Long Dark Road or Forever Now. There are heaps more but that should keep you busy for a night.

James Reyne had a habit of undulating his voice as he sang, which made the lyrics very difficult to pick up, but I didn’t mind that because I would just sing what I heard, even if it was wrong. It was half the fun of his music! Look for Hammerhead and have a listen to the lyrics! I actually own the album but refuse to look at the lyrics so I can sing the wrong words and just have fun with it. LOL! Have you watched Peter Kay’s Misheard Lyrics stand-up routine? It’s on YT!

the other problem with this list other than the "not many songs from the early 80s backwards" is that he used live videos for a lot of the list, most of which you struggle to know what the song is at first!

1983 Australia won the America cup. Men at work, Down under. It was all they played on the radio. Australia II, Alan Bond, winged keel. I just started my first job, amazing times. The Prime Minister of Australia, Bob Hawk, suggested we should all have a day off. Night clubs in the 80s in Australia. "No way, get fucked, fuck off." You know or you don't know. And dont forget The Seekers. Yeah, I'm old.

Do yourself a favour and listen to the whole songs. This is an interesting choice for songs ,but would be contentious for most Aussies, lots of icons missing

I reckon you’d recognise more if they played the chorus of popular studio versions of these songs, some of these live versions are not doing the originals justice,

@@donaldstewart444 The band wasn't formed by the Finn brothers, Neil formed the band with Hester who was a replacement drummer for Split Enz. Tim Finn only came on board for a future album, get your facts straight. A band formed in Melbourne by 2/3's Australian members kind of sounds Australian. Their farewell c9ncert was also on the steps of the Sydney Opera house. Neil Finn is the primary songwriter, you obviously have never been in a band and created music before if you believe one person is solely responsible for creating music. Tim Pearce a celebrated session guitarist also created many of their iconic guitar riffs too. As an example, Roger Waters is nothing without the talents of Wright, Gilmour and Mason, just listen to his solo records after he left Pink Floyd.
