There's loads of great tunes in this thread.❤️

Some awesome Aussie classics I grew up with and still listen too often:

Hunters and collectors, throw your arms around me.

Hoodoo gurus, come anytime

Divinyls, I touch myself

Midnight oil, beds are burning

Angels, Am I ever gonna see your face again.

Ganggajang, sounds of then

Spy Vs Spy, out and dreaming

Mondo Rock, come said the boy

Cold Chisel, cheap wine

Mental as anything, live it up

The choir boys, run to paradise

All the above bands have heaps of great songs that I love to listen too to this day.

There's also a whole bunch of other bands , but the above is a good sample that always brings great memories flooding back.

I love this thread,❤️

80's reminds me of double tape decks and copying tge newest version of Now That's what I call music.

And high speed dubbing was a real game changer.

Thank you all. What an amazing list, what fab times those where. So much fun. Of course we can't live in the past or indeed just the 80s so hopefully we all have other kind of music we like to fill our hearts and souls. Enjoy whatever you are listening to.
