Its only Australia which can produce music like this. If only there was music like this on today's charts. I listen to them over and over and my jaw still drops. Cold Chisel were long before my time but they are and always will be my all time favourite.

Being from a small country town in SA, these great Cold Chisel always play in one of two hotels here. There is no such music like what they have produced, this is the real king of aussie rock. Thumbs up to bring back this type of music!

Only a country like Australia could produce a band as good as Cold Chisel, in the exact same fashion a country like Canada could produce an artist as good as Bryan Adams.

Like that one.

Still sends the same shivers down my spine as it did when I was a child. I could recognize this tune after the first few bars. No matter how old and senile I got.

@hayesism Cool, I was in Korea for a while-it is interesting how you get to think of yourself as being a 'Foreigner' it is a real lesson. Remember walking the streets and not seeing any other 'westerners', and if you do you feel like running up to them :-)

@hayesism The American didn't want to know them in the day, so consequently "you got nothing I want" but I bet they wished they'd got on board now. Anyway for us Aussies it has been a fantastic journey and hopefully it aint over yet. Been to a few Chisel concerts and right up until the most recent these guys are still as good today as they were 30 years ago at the last stand.

@pfeds are you seriously comparing Bryan Adams to Cold Chisel????????? Your brain needs the long wash on hot water with the long rinse my friend......
