Some of these are more Pop than rock but still great songs

INXS have so many great songs. Easily one of my favorite 80s bands in general.

Dollsquad - very cool live , but the audience is a dodo

Queen used to sing Time waits for nobody ......truly it doesn't - this rare piece by the legendary Aussie glam band Skyhooks celebrates 50 years in the making ....wow !!!!
(only audio available because the gig in the 70s was never filmed!!)

What ????? No mention of The Triffids from Perth WA ???? They've been around for ages, but they seem to be overlooked a wee bit. If you like the Nick Cave poetry connected to the Hoodoo Gurus sound , you'll love them

The Early Cassette Tapes

Until very recently the only Divinyls song I’d ever heard was “I touch myself,” which I thought sucked donkey balls. Turns out they were a kick ass rock band.

1980 saw the birth of one of Australia's greatest acts after Baby Animals with Suze de Marchi. Chrissie Amphlett (RIP ) really knew how to use her vocal chords to the utmost. I don't like all of their songs, but overall, it was a cool band

4 pages and no mention of The Angels? Shame.








Glad to see TISM here though. Carry on.
