AUSSIE ROCK FAVORITES

VA - Who Listens to The Radio, Aussie Rock Favorites CD1+CD2+CD3+CD4 ( A Butterboy Compilation)


Rock music in Australia, also known as Oz rock, Australian rock and Aussie rock, is rock music from Australia. The nation has a rich history of rock music and an appreciation of the roots of various rock genres, usually originating in the United States or Britain, but also continental Europe, and more recently the musical styles of Africa. Australian rock has also contributed to the development of some of these genres, as well as having its own unique Australiana sound with pub rock and its indigenous music.

From 1955 to 1975 three distinct "waves" of Australian rock occurred. The first wave was from 1955 to 1963. The second wave from 1964 to 1969 was directly influenced by The Beatles and their tour of the country in June 1964. The third wave from 1970 to 1975, with the advent of pub rock, was typified by early exponents, Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, Blackfeather, and Buffalo. Internationally, AC/DC, which had started as a pub rock group in November 1973 has come to be the most well-known Australian rock band, with more than 71 million sales in the US alone by 2014.  Beginning in that era was Countdown, which was a popular music TV program on national broadcaster, ABC, and ran from November 1974 until July 1987. After 1975 Australian rock began to diversify including local contributors to punk and indie rock styles. By the 1980s baby boomer acts were prominent, which included John Farnham, whose album, Whispering Jack (October 1986) peaked at number one on the Australian charts for 25 weeks and was certified 24x platinum indicating shipment of over 1.68 million copies, the highest by any Australian artist. Also in that decade, indigenous rock groups achieved wider recognition. (Wikipedia)


Australia’s musical history is enough to make any Australian proud. Obviously, Aussies are bound to be biased, but most of us truly believe that Australia has spent decades producing some of the most wonderfully crafted and brilliantly performed songs in the world.  To celebrate Aussie Rock here are 100 uniquely Aussie rock songs by many iconic Aussie bands.

    1. Hi Unknown
      I know:)
      Knew that some will pick me up on that.
      They are almost always considered Australian for some reason. ( I tip my hat to the New Zealand artist)

      Cheers.

  2. Although I'm a Kiwi and of course would like to claim however ... Crowded House is an Aussie band. Formed in Melbourne - two Aussies, one American, one Kiwi (Tim Finn around for only one album + tour). Ok, so Kiwi Neil Finn did most (all?) of the song writing ... (btw 4 seasons in one day is about Melbourne's weather, not Auckland's).

    As for Split Enz! most definitely Kiwi! Got into an argument some years back with a Melbournite who insisted the Enz were from Melbourne and just couldn't accept they were Kiwis :-)

    1. Hi Freddie,

      I saw Split Enz a few times, in concert, in Melbourne (Amazing concerts (before Neil)). They were an Aussie band for me,then. I later found out that they were Kiwi. I still think of them as honorary Aussies. Crowded House lived in Melbourne and then became famous. Love them!
      Thanks for clearing up any confusion about their origins. Peace.

      Cheers.

  4. Thank you for these comps. It's a shame more Aussie music didn't make to the U.S. I am enjoying hearing it now, in any case. You fella's had a lot going on in your music scene. Love hearing it. As a U.S. Viet Nam Vet, that song "I Was Only 19" really touches me so thanks for including it. Cheers buddy!

    1. Hi hotrodmike.
      There is so many more wonderful artist from Australia and with large catalogs that should be heard. Australian music does have its own flavor and that is exciting to me. I hope you get enjoyment from these selections. "I Was Only 19" is a great track, very moving. In Australia the young men used to be conscripted to fight in whatever campaign, thankfully that has been abolished. Take care and be happy.

      Cheers.
