holy s***, existence likes tom petty?

my world has been turned upside down

deceptive thread title ... change it to 'cheesy top40 hits from the 80s' heh. :D

Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Any Beatles really...
Pearl Jam - Black
Don Henley - Boys of Summer (is that the track name?)
Hunters and Collectors - Holy Grail (so overplayed but still a fkn awesome song)
Paul Kelly - Dumb Things

And, of course, Mr Big - To Be With You

^gg demon, oh well, these songs are awesome. asif theyre cheesy! was watching a show on tv the other day saying how all those types of bands have basically created timeless music because my generation now (im 20) dig it so much. look at the normanby. tuffie covers that exact genre of music and it pulls the hugest crowds i think any pub / club would all year round, its basically a mini f***ing festival there every sunday, so much so that they are now tryin to tone it down, no thongs / boardies after 5pm!! GG!!

midda, i got all 3 of those songs, just not on list atm hehe :)

got s***loads of epic ccr as well, they are unreal

hardball, omg mate, paul kelly dont get me started!

dumb things
summer rain
animal
to her door
how to make gravy
from saint kilda to kings cross
careless
ball and chain
deeper water
we started a fire
from little things

i could go ON AND ON and ON.

seriously, when i was a little kid, maybe 9 or 10, my family went on a holiday to frasier island. we were there for 2 weeks i think staying at orchid beach, dad had just got this new pimped hilux with a 3.8 v6 commodore in it and he got a nice stereo in it. in the car he had james reyne greatest hits, and 2 or 3 of paul kellys album (mums all time favorite singer, hands down). they got thrashed all week, way before i had any real musical taste, but those songs were etched into my brain, i liked them so much, and still love them to this day ! (not having heard them for what, 7-8 years?)

i love music!

edit 2: was reading up on joe jackson yesterday on trusty youtube, and apparently he was reall underrated back in the day

anyone who hasn't heard joe jackson, get a couple of his songs, especially real men! top song

you're gay.

/insert random college rock from Dad's generation and mine.

I liked Powderfinger for some reason. Considering they come from the worlds biggest country town they put together some interesting vibes. I guess it's the shock factor that did it for me. It'd be like hearing that the guy from NIN is actually Einstein.

Here - toke on this: you know that makes sense >:)

Thank-god Antisane mentioned Journey - how can you go past "Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world"?!

Damn straight.


Props to the person who put up the safety dance video up, haven't seen it in ages, I forgot how awesome it was. "...and that was men without hats...or as they are known today...men without jobs"

also:

black hole sun
closing time
breakfast at tiffanies


Also, question, does anyone remember the Down on the corner dogs videoclip? I just had a look for it but couldn't find a reference to it anywhere, except a small mention on wikipedia

"An ABC For Kids Video Hits video use plasticine animation featuring the band as dogs (voices of Chris Lloyd, Malcolm McCullum, Armando Hurley and Jamie Rigg)."

this gives me goosebumps

note to self: when I retire. I must find time to remake all those daggy 70's,80's and 90's filmclips on the home pc.

uhh im buggered now. hope at least someone gets some enjoyment from this list
its about a third the size it was gonna be but gratitusioiosly provocsatritrive covered it pretty well.
ps cant spell

Nick Kershaw - Wouldn't it be good

Ok, I'm pretty happy to let people listen to whatever they want as long as they're not trying to force me to listen to it. But you are gay. Just say no to crap synth.

Mr. Hardware, those songs you listed, even Rock the Casbah (was the Clash's worst song ever), should all be locked up in Guantanamo as they're the worst of the worst.

oh come on man
its probably the best synth out there
apart from ABC
the middle part's a bit average but the big horn blast from 2:47 makes up for it


thanks for the star opinion sfb. i like most of them cos they're not done to death on triple m (unlike crowded house, cold chisel etc)
I know alot of them aren't the artist's best. I don't care, i like the songs.

last edited by Mr Hardware at 11:01:53 14/Feb/08

koopz, they've already done it.. I was keepin it oleschool though.. check this s*** out.

Mr H, a lot of those I'm not sure I've heard of but the ones I had, I was impressed with - how could we have left out Dude looks like a lady?! Classic song from Pretty Woman

Just found this song I liked when I was younger and guess I still like now.

Ridiculously epic version of an already mentioned epic song:

As above:

Hendrix proving he can do it even better than the best from about 3min in:
