Hey I'm not stalking... who would of thought. HA maybe I have been here before.. not sure. Memories that is all I'm doing... Carrying on like bloody Sid James. Joke Joyce.. next song I think of is not going to come from nzoz. Graham Bonnet.. It's all over now Babyblue.. Then Warm Ride, If you can find it... HA

[nzoz1979]

@dusysoonerable I would, but Graham Bonnet is not Aussie. He is a pom who had success in Australia prior to joining UK band Rainbow.

@nzoz1979 Hey nzoz, I just received your reply. I'm shocking, I remember doing stuff the other night. This one threw me though. I do love this song. One name Uwe. That's the bloke that this song reminds me most of. Anyway how's The Mentals going with "Come Around"? I do remember that one .... Unless I pressed the wrong key.

[nzoz1979]

@dusysoonerable The Mentals come around is on my nzoz1980 channel... however, the Mentals have had it removed from public viewing...

[josamill]

The first 3 albums & Bird Noises were raw, powerful, Aussie melody....unbeatable. They lost me after that.....not saying it was crap, just not as interesting and too produced.

Thumbs up if these frames are the best! Also thumbs up if you think the 5 people who disliked this video are idiots.

@Gosford4ever I don't think there was ever a risk that Pete would have joined The Liberal Party. Just disappointed he chose The ALP and not The Greens.

[Gosford4ever]

@cattycakes64 I guess he could have joined the liberals, what a hypocrite that would have made him.

[cattycakes64]

I went to every gig I could and never once was it average or off in any way. I even forgive Pete for joining the ALP(well sort of). It was a great time for Australian music.

[southwestsearch]

[blueshound611]

[originlal67]

[57Cusso]

@Blissbomb2 My son, Gen Y, just asked me, what crap is this? And my Old man used to ask me the same question in 1985. Dont you just feel so sorry for them. As you said, Gen X rules.....

[MidnightOilNumbah1]

The old Oils were best. The new ones are good, but I like their older hits.

Oils rock! OILS!OILS!OILS!
