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.

Cold chisel.

Khe sahn
Flame trees,
Etc

Take your pick.........

I agree with 'Brij', most of the classics are old school...... and I'm not even that old.  I don't think there's much around today thats as good as the older stuff.......
