Hi holicman !

#4  Dumb Things - Paul Kelly

#6  When the River Runs Dry - Hunters and Collectors

#7  Horror Movie - Skyhooks

#8  Solid Rock - Goanna

#34 Reckless - Australian Crawl

#44 Flame Trees - Cold Chisel


Great quiz  :D

I just recognize two of them ...


24 - Electric Blue - Icehouse
29 - I Touch Myself - Divinyls

33. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

Great quiz! A lot of these sound familiar, but I'm struggling to get titles, and the few I recognized have been picked over... here's what I've got

36. World Where You Live - Crowded House ... I think
53. Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

I'll be back if my memory kicks in!

Ooh, ooh, one more:

42. Accidentally Kelly Street - Frente!

32. Ben Lee - Catch my Disease


...I'll think of more when my memory returns!  ;)

Hi there H-Man !


# 12  High Voltage - AC/DC

# 22  The Nips Are Getting Bigger - Mental As Anything

# 23  Eagle Rock - Daddy Cool

# 35  Power And The Passion - Midnight Oil  (this is also # 81  :D)

# 37  Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel

# 40 I know, but I refuse to acknowledge the validity of the more recent artist as a bonafide performer (due to fabrication that is Australian Idol) so I pass on that one  :P :P :P

# 47  Blue Sky Mine - Midnight Oil

#40 is What About Me by Moving Pictures.  I also know that Shannon Noll won Australian Idol with it.  I used to belong to a 1927 messageboard and they all were raving about Noll's version when he won ;D

[quote author=whis

Congratulations to all so far,most are correct and the ones who are correct with the songs they picked are in red next to each song :)


To Fussbudget - no.22 is the right band but wrong title.

Windbreaker - 36 is wrong, but to be fair this is one of the harder ones in the quiz so i am not surprised you got that wrong. This band were a one album wonder from the early nineties.
I actually used to work with the lead singers mum, who's surname was the name of the band.

To Fussbudget - no.22 is the right band but wrong title.



Egads !  :o  Upon reflection, it is "Too Many Times"  :)

Very well redeemed :D

Congratulations :)

Well I...ahem!...got two!

25. Are You Gonna Be My Girl - Jet

Sorry everyone, i have had computer problems over the last week or so.

I have updated the quiz.

Everyone is right except walrus7.............daddy cool is the right band, just the wrong song.

hopefully the hints will get the topic active again.

i will give this about a week or so then i will reveal the answers.

I am confused.  Some of the ones that have been solved already, don't have the members names next to them, but they have hints  ???
