Topic: Favourite Aussie rock songs?

i'm in charge of the music for our aussie day party, and i'm gonna splice it all up between JJJ, phat summer tribal/electro beats, and classic aussie rock.

i've already compiled an impressive database of aussie stuff, but give me your suggestions just incase i have missed some stuff.

it doesnt have to be strictly rock stuff either, just stuff you would love to hear on aussie day. like yothu yindi - treaty! rawfl

ps. star guitar/nikki webster hilarity.

i second the bloodduster suggestion

pendulum could be thought of as UK based.... mostly cause only 2 of them are aussie and they live in the UK.

i got paul on my msn.. used to practice drums with him when he lived in perth :/

Couple just off the playlist here..

Themata - Karnivool (the album's pretty good all round too)
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Solid Rock - Goanna
This is Australia - Gangajang (sp?)
Coma - Pendulum (ok, not rock but it counts for me)
Down Again - The Superjesus
Muthafukka on a Motorcycle - MachineGunFellatio
Free - Endorphin (again, not rock but I have to support the locals in Cairns)
Passenger - Powderfinger
Short Memory - Midnight Oil (ok, I don't really like Peter Garrett or his politics, but the song itself sounds good)


Most other songs I'd put in have already been mentioned.
Incidentally I met up with the guitarist from Powderfinger on the plane to LA the other week - the band were all on board, heading over here to record their next album. He was a top bloke...so I didn't complain when he put his seat right all the way back (he was in front of me).
