An absolute masterpiece. The drumming is mesmerising and Grant McLennan’s lyrics are a dream. I love this band Sam. It’s incredible to think they couldn’t crack their home market... obsessed with the pub rock sound at the time. My favourite of theirs is Streets of Your Town. For me it was about feeling alienated but it was a love song for Amanda in the band.




I hadn’t made the connection before but the other best Australian song ever also begins with a spoken 1 2 3 4



An epic tale of heartache and loss, music that captures the curve of the earth and a sky that never ends. Both singer songwriters dead early from heart disease... perhaps distilling too much of their own into their words.

Also... Joe Jackson

One seventies track on the thread is unfortunate. Two in a row is downright careless.

You know the 80s start with an 8, right?

At least try, mate.

Going local.

There';s nothing wrong with Infected either.

Joe Jackson.

Maybe not so well-known but a decent band, headed by Matt Moffat (sp?)

Another Strayan act, and proof that one can have a dismal haircut and a head like a robber's dog yet still achieve a modicum of local success. I saw R. Clapton and band quite a few times and they led with this track a few times.

While we're going local - Lucrafts of Gingin

Crank it if you can - the adult response to balance the stalker anthem in the previous post

Some Brisvegas lads for you mungo: love the Winnie Blues on the bar

The live version that follows is possibly better than the studio release.

Last ones for today. Saw these lads at the Enmore theatre a few years ago. Still good.

Not 80s Harvey. Good song though

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (or "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer") is a blues song written by Rudy Toombs and recorded by Amos Milburn in 1953. It is one of several drinking songs recorded by Milburn in the early 1950s that placed in the top ten of the Billboard R&B chart.[1] Other artists released popular recordings of the song, including John Lee Hooker in 1966 and George Thorogood in 1977.

This is more '80s than that.
