Best Ever Aus Album

[Big Dave]

I scanned the cover so you could check the lineup of great Aussie acts.

[ManDownUnder]

Australian you say...

Enz? Mi Sex? ... and a few more I'd need to double check...

DD Smash I think is the most lamentable error. Swingers worth a mention too.

[firefighter]

crowded house......I wonder what they would have to say about that?........

[Magua]

A travesty!

[Big Dave]

What do you think the REAL best ever Aus album is?

Breakfast at sweethearts - Cold Chisel.

Australian Crawl - Australian Crawl

20,000 Watt RSL - Midnight Oil

Shaboo Shibah - INXS


hmmmm.

[Big Dave]

A travesty!

They're Scots aren't they?

[spookytooth]

beyond salvation
The Angels

[Oscar]

I had an Angels EP with "Devils Gate", "No Secrets" and "Face the Day" live. I dinnae what happened to it...

I also saw them at Sweetwaters (Doc Nieson was hit by a bottle thrown from the crowd) - 4skins and I were working there and saw the Angels and the Oils play from the space between the stage and the crowd...wow...it is somewhat ironic that 4skins is now employed in the Audiological field...

.....Pardon......what's that.....hey???

[Big Dave]

What would be really ironic is if I was looking for the Thompson Twins when I spotted it.

But I wasn't.

[Oscar]

.....Pardon......what's that.....hey???

They were slightly quieter than my LC4 (which I sold the other day, so it will never throw rocks at you again....)

[spookytooth]

We were standing behind a six foot iron fence in front of the stage (where all the security goons stood). Some guys were keeping time the the Angles and Oils by banging their foreheads on the fence...:blink:

"Stairway to Heaven" by Rolf Harris. :shifty:
He did a whole album of that???
Why hasn't The Geneva Convention been informed of this???

[MisterD]

Highway to Hell.

That is all.

[Big Dave]

Highway to Hell.

That is all.

They weren't an Aussie Band by then - any more than Crowded House are.

[Big Dave]

Andrew Denton had a TV show and the wheeze was guests had to perform Stairway to Heaven.

That was then made into a compilation album and Rolf's went viral.

It was all Stairwaysa to heavensa - but a dozen different artists

[SPman]

.
.... and was at the same Sweetwaters festival too !

If it was the 1980 one, I was in a Moth Minor throwing unsecured items at the crowd out of the rear open cockpit, as we did some illegal aerobatics overhead... :woohoo: (I was at the fly in down the road at Te Kowhai..)

[SPman]

Hurstville Civic Centre Saturday Night Dance.
Bonn off his tree.
Options were stay outside and get into fights with various ethnic groups or go inside and chase girls.
All the footballers would be outside posturing and foot scratching for 2 hours before a punch was thrown while I was inside making serious hay time.

Easybeats - Easybeats - Friday on my Mind!

Apples and oranges - pun intended - the Varadero is more touring bike - that has been set up for dirt a road occasionally.

It's big and very comfortable and quite girth-y - and pretty fast if you spool it up.

True.
The Honda is also one generation older than the orange bike.
You shoulda seen Mike Webb punt it on the gravel - the old boy has still got it..
