c_s_1987 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Here are some great Australian songs. All except the Cold Chisel songs are from this decade: Bob Evans (what I really like about this guy is that he is the only current artist I know where if someone told me his music was recorded in the 60s or 70s, I would believe them): Nowhere Without You - reminiscent of 60s pop. Don't You Think It's Time - reminiscent of Bob Dylan. Cold Chisel (my favourite Australian act - ever): Khe Sanh - extremely popular over here. Cheap Wine Forever Now Flame Trees Thirsty Merc: In The Summertime I would add another Powderfinger clip, but they don't have very many on YouTube.

Farin 2 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 In 1987 Bono forgot his wives birthday, to make it up to her he wrote a song: (The) Sweetest Thing ~ U2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blind-fitter 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 Bloody hate that song. Pants! An honourable man, on forgetting his wife's birthday, would do the decent thing and just shoot himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c_s_1987 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 That song is quite unusual in the way that it was originally released as one of three B-sides to "Where The Streets Have No Name" in 1987, but was later released as a single in 1998 (and that appears to be when the video was made). Unlike b-f, I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Fish 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 I love that song, though i didn't know he wrote it for his wife because he forgot her birthday. It's a bit of a cop out really, "sorry i forgot your birthday honey, heres a song" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadows 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 I think a song would be an awesome present. Even if it is make up for forgeting a birthday. Its such an awesome feeling having a song about you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 I like that song and he has an interesting name too... first "Franz Ferdinand", now "Caspar Hauser" what's next? "Sissi"? or "Kaiser Wilhelm"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blind-fitter 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 The song has such a jaunty melody, but then when you listen closely, the lyric tells a very poignant and personal tale. You can tell that by the end the guy's almost singing through a lump in his throat, and he's welling up a bit. Me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blind-fitter 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2006 I've been trying to locate this one-hit wonder from 1980: no sign of it available anywhere (compilations, etc) Sue Wilkinson - "You'ver Got To Be A Hustler If You Want to Get On" Warning! This home-made video is a bit on the risque side (though quite funny: like the song, I suppose.) If any of you Internet-search experts are able to locate this track available for sale (any format) or download, please let me know! During my search, I discovered that Ms. Wilkinson died quite recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blind-fitter 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2006 Sorted, thanks. Did you view the Youtube vid? Enjoy it? Great little song, that one. Reached No 25 in the UK charts in mid-1980, spent 8 weeks on the chart. Since then: neither seen nor heard of again. Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
