This borders on barely tolerable, but tops out on different and interesting. Talk about ear fatigue.
This one contains melody and themes that I can comprehend, but mostly has a video clip that is well worth seeing. Also slightly amusing in a geeky way
This is my favourite SP song, probably for the grand elements and combinations of strings I enjoy in Silverchair, all be it much simpler.
Another Smashing Pumpkins track that opens the double same album (preceding Tonight, Tonight). A simple but beautiful little tune, I enjoy very much.
I love the complexity and richness of their newer work, this is probably my fav. I also love the structure of the songs, how they flow between parts.
A hugely successful Australian band. Wikipedia description: “Orchestral prog-infused chamber-pop” how awesome. The band as grunge, but they got better
This is my favourite too, lol. (the album version anyway) Love the solo features in the orchestra (in all songs). They use most bizarre sets of chords
When I think Australian music, this is probably my number one band. This was the bands breakthrough hit, voted #1 in the 1997 Triple J hottest 100.
This is the Whitlams song that hooked me, and that I will remember forever. Inspired by, among other things, the death of the bands co-founder.
The later albums included a more diverse mix of instruments, strings sax, horns and bells. Also a greater range of happy and dark songs.
This snippet is from a 2002 song describing the fall of Ned Kelly, an infamous Australian outlaw and folk hero. Shows the darker moods on later albums
This, released 13 months earlier is a brilliantly perky, and extremely cheeky track. Humour brought by the piano/organ. Love that driving bass.
Australian Guitarist with an impressive career. Very enjoyable albums to listen to, but this song is one of the more fascinating you will ever hear.
If you’ve ever tried to learn a Living End song you will know how good these guys are-Technically and musically brilliant. Epic rockers from Melbourne
In 2002 and 2004 Katie and Tyrone Noonan produced two incredible albums, two hours of absolute bliss. Such a crime they are not more widely known.
