My choice is Gangajang - met the lead singer recently at a wedding ... the bride sang, the groom played guitar (fingers breewood) and the lead singer (what was his name) played drums.

But Australia has some excellent talent band wise:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Australian_rock_music_groups  This should keep you on UTube for awhile I think.

Why is it that most of these Australiana classics are from the '80s (or very late '70s)? Except for The Herd's modern reindition of "Only 19" and Christine Anu's "My Island Home".

Are our modern Aussie musicians not as patriotic as the past ones and write/sing about other topics? Or have I not taken to the modern Australiana (from the '90s and '00s) as I did to the '80s music as a teenager and skipped over it? I still generally like modern Australian music (I still listen to JJJ much to the disgust of my older workmates ;D), but don't recall much Australiana.

G'day Peter,
Hmm good point. Maybe we are just getting older, Don't know. Maybe this generation see themselves living in a global world, where as those of us that grew up on 80's music, Australia was our world.
Personally I don't have a favorite, all the ones above are awesome tunes and each one of them has their place.
 :cheers:

Reading these posts reminds me of when I was in the States a few years ago. I was only there 3 weeks but it was enough to make me homesick for Australia. To satisfy my thirst for things Australian I went on YouTube playing many of the songs on this list, and some others like "Still Call Australia Home", "Hey True Blue", etc and bugger me dead if I didn't tear up quite a bit.
My wife is from Spokane Washington USA and we were there visiting her family. The discussion has come up a number of times about whether we could or should move to USA, but after that experience I am just not sure I could cope with leaving Australia permanently. Much as certain things pi$$ me off no end (especially politicians and some of the idiotic decision they make) .. being Australian.. it's deep within.
