Lot of good Aussie music in the 80s....Split Enz/Crowded House, Midnight Oil, Hoodoo Gurus, The Church.INXS, Men At Work, AC/DC...
The Lime Spiders were GREAT Too!
I tried to emigrate to Oz back at that time.
I figured there was lots of room to roam.
They weren’t having any despite my having a job set up working on their soon to be Collins class subs.
It all worked out well for me, as singers like Peter Garrett soon took over the Senate and became libtard Senators.
Shut up and sing Pete, you big shambling galoot.
I agree and I absolutely love Crowded House - great lyrics and harmonies, great pop music (although they were a 90’s band).

Then there is the “Eagle Rock” by a little known Aussie band from the early 70’s – Daddy Cool. Evidently this was a huge hit down under. But I was first introduced to the Eagle Rock a few years ago via my little triplet toddler nieces who used to love to watch The Wiggles, who are also Aussies. And there is nothing more beautiful than dancing around the living room to the Eagle Rock with triplet three year olds. : ), The Wiggles did a pretty good version of the song and I think the lead singer of the band sang on their version, but here is the original:

I dare you to not smile and tap your toes to this. : ),
