Really hard to not consider AC/DC in best Australian song.

Re: Best Australian song ever
Come said the boy
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Re: Best Australian song ever
Becoming a bit of a joke now, I remember when they came to epic on the stiff upper lip tour and brought all the props like the massive blow up Rosie and the bell and cannon. Never seen anything like it.
They were on tv this morning and my 19 year old walked in and suggested that when your guitarist has dementia and your drummer appears totally fried on meth it's probably time to give it away.

His performance of 'Rip Rip Woodchip' at the 1989 GF is one of my vivid memories of that day.mick63 wrote:Was at bluesfest earlier this year and saw john williamson for the first time.

Well I sort of consider Heart's a Mess and Somebody That I Used To Know as his big singles. #8 and #1 in the Hottest 100.Fuifui Bradbrad wrote:I agree, which I think is a shame, as I think his earlier song Heart's a Mess is betterjulian87 wrote:I think Gotye's big singled and One Crowded Hour will be remembered fondly in the future too.

Re: Best Australian song ever
I realise De Backer is not everyone's cup of tea but there is just absolutely no denying the success of Like Drawing Blood and Making Mirrors.
I think his second album as Gotye is one of the most groundbreaking Australian releases of my generation. He owes a lot to The Avalanches that paved the way and probably hold that moniker with Since I Left You.

Re: Best Australian song ever
Never could bring myself to like something that sounded like a 3 year old composed it, but to each his own. Obviously I'm in the minority given he is fairly popular
