As a southern californian, I adore everything Ozzy does musically so many GEMS!

Yes three that csme into my mind was somethimg from The Seekers (georgie girl), olivia newton john (Physical) and Bee Gees (Staying alive)

You've got the angels in there which probably the biggest rip off of a song ever ,lonely night status quo

the top 10 i argree with the rest, id call personal opinion,i think The Seekers - I Am Australian should be in the top 5 if not number 1, and also i still call australia home by peter allen in the top 10

Not sure how you can leave out Staying Alive by the Bee Gees, one of the most iconic songs of all time that defined an entire genre that dominated a decade. Ton of other hits as well and they're one of the biggest selling artists Australia has produced. There's just zero reason to not have them on here outside pure hate which would undermine the whole idea of the list. Also feels empty without the Wiggles, Big Red Car would be my pick, another of our biggest artists we've produced and dominated the children's market for decades now. Sia is another massive diss to leave off, Chandelier would be my pick, probably the biggest Australian hit of the last decade, I believe it's comfortably the most viewed on YT of all Australian artists at just under 3 billion, about 500 million clear of Gotye in 2nd. Finally no Olivia Newtown-John is just wrong. I don't like her music and have no idea what song is the best choice but she was by far our biggest export success for a long time and was one of the biggest artists in the world.

Great list. 😊

Damm mate you have nailed it. Bloody good choice. Thank you for the great trip down memory lane. Prisoner of society was such a huge part of high school. Thanks for this

My personal favourite Australian band ever are The Saints. When I heard I'm ' Stranded fir the first time it absolutely blew me away. There are so may amazing Aussie bands but they were fir me The Aussie Stooges.

tom tilley is such a knob

Man! Has everyone completely forgotten about Baby Animals? Not on any of these lists so far?

Solid effort. Good list, but I feel like you've effectively chosen 30 well known Aussie artists and then picked their most famous song, rather than their best. E.g. I'd go with 'Let there be rock' over 'Long way to the top', 'Bow River' over 'Khe Sanh', 'Don't Change' over 'Never Tear us Apart' and 'Ana's Song' over tomorrow. Also, Wolfmother deserves more than an honourable mention. Joker and the thief was a world wide smash and is an all time, absolute banger!!

Like to d'load this list on Apple. Well done

Why not Voyager? Can’t believe you missed them on this list. 24 years a legendary progrock band and seriously big international following. Unbelievable. Understand why you missed Dave Warner due I guess u are young but why not the Farris Brothers, precursors to inxs? All up not a bad list.

Interesting list and a good starting point for the enviable discussion. Interesting to see all the live versions you used , I presume it was done because of rights issues ….

Funny how they don’t have any that gay ass English accent

not so fun fact: Into My Arms was written for Michael Hutchence, singer for INXS, who died a few years prior.

Lynda Nutter was such a rootrat. Her nickname was "Miss Reabold Hill"

Crowded House Is a New Zealand Band NOT Australian. Missing so many , waste of time watching

Seriously? You didn't include The Seekers? Top 5 at least... th-cam.com/video/KrLTe1_9zso/w-d-xo.html

Alot of good memories

Sometimes I wonder whether Tripke J would play Midnight Oil if they wete a new band these days.?

Teally great video for young bands to watch. I would say SJ are Indie pop.

Noiseworks , The Screaming Jets , Boom Crash Opera ???

Dave Warner From the Suburbs. Suburban Boy, Convict Streak, Half Time at the Football, Australian Heat, Lonely Bar Room Crawler, Campus Days, Suburban Rock, Hot Crotch, African Summer, Phantom, Worst Day of My Life, Kangaroo Hop, Old Stock Road, and lots more.

some great tunes here - something to add to our dance playlists

Who remembers Jeff StJohn and Doug Parkinson? Only me it seems.

Face To Face, Doughboy Hollow, MEO245,Sunnyboys

I dont blame Daniel one bit for not releasing those songs- what's with Ben and Chris not sending him a copy of their book? They're talented musicians but they only made it big because of Daniel and they cant admit it themselves, but it's true. Tootles😊

So, Solitude, you think that this is a list (your list, notably) of the Top 30 Australian Songs of All time? Any list that includes a Cold Chisel song above Redgum's I Was Only 19 demonstrates a poor knowledge of music. Remember, 'Songs' is in the title therefore it can include rock songs (Friday on My Mind), Love Songs (Georgie Girl/The Carnival Is Over) and Country and Western Songs (Pub With No Beer) and also songs pre-2000. No doubt another 30 song list could be made up and be totally correct and absolutely no song (or very few songs) from this list would be included. Ho hum.

Super interesting. Thank you from France. The average level is really high and the Australian music scene incredibly dynamic. Didn't really know DZ Deathrays but as you say, there is something special in their sound.

Today I learnt that Air Supply were Aussies. You have Men At Work dangerously low. I don't think most of the Western world understands Australia beyond fighter combis. Whatever those are.

Wow, great songs and there are of course dozens more but a list is a list! I'd give a plug to Railroad Gin, Matter of Time

Big dope

Where's DCD?

Silver chair rocks!

Never tear us apart. Carn the Power!

Solid list. I think Died Pretty's Doughboy Hollow is the most underrated Aussie album of all time. Also a bit sad to not see Mr Floppy get a mention IYKYK

Good list , however really disappointing with missing 3 of the most successful groups in Australian history. Little River Band Seekers Bee Gees ( Spic and Specs produced and released in Australia as their first single , before they moved to England to record their next hits) Add Guy Sebastian , who has recorded some great songs. Change the Title to " MY " , as this is not the TOP 30 Australian artists of all time.

Humble Armada need WAY more recognition, their music is incredible. Nice to see them get a shout-out 🙌

So these are your choices? Pretty spot on actually, I'm 70 years old and you impressed me, factual, no bullshit, well done mate, Mark, WA.

Thanks Thanks for this, I would never have guessed. As someone who grew up with 96FM but stopped listening when I moved to the Js in the late 90s, it is hard to imagine 96 being at all listenable.

It's funny you say this, I often think about how many good bands there are overseas that we simply don't get exposed to. I saw a English band called Declan Mackenna a week ago and they are for sure one of the best live bands I've seen. It call comes down to where you are from, we are very bias in that regard, I look at Australian music and think we have an incredible scene (which is partially true) but unless I actively checkout other bands from around the world, we are only scratching the surface.
