Thank you for all these videos, its opened up a whole new realm of music for me. I've always enjoyed 80s music immensely but I've never got into the Australian/New Zealand stuff... I love it thank you.

[nzoz1981]

@bmovieshowcase no worries

@bmovieshowcase The 80s were definitely the halcyon days of Aussie music. In fact I would argue that from 80-87 the Aussie music scene was every bit as great at the US and UK. Mondo Rock, Split Enz (depsite being from NZ they had mainstream success once they moved to Sydney), INXS, Icehouse, John Farnham, Crowded House, Midnight Oil, Divinyls, Air Supply, Rick Springfield, Hoodoo Gurus etc

[nzoz1981]

@toddgei it was good days... we were doing well... then little johnny howard banned music and replaced bands with pokie machines and now we don't have good music. thanx johnny howard for killing the music, you prick!

[nzoz1981]

That's a bit of a naive comment there. Not everybody in the 80's took to punk, and believe me, the 1980's were a major contraction to punk-ethics. Have a look at Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet and question this... do you really think those guys understood the Sex Pistols?

As for Mondo Rock, these guys had been playing around before the Sex Pistols even thought about music as an option.

There's a reason why you only [once] heard that much 80's music was inpsired by the punk movement.

Ummm, three people don't understand chemistry?

[nzoz1981]

@TheGmgirl77 I graciously accept that. :-)

[TheGmgirl77]

@nzoz1981 I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you nzoz1981 xoxo

[80sOGRE]

@aussietv2 it lacked the balls of punk and the catchiness of pop aswell. neither here nor there

[aussietv2]

@kaitoss I do actually

[kaitoss]

@aussietv2 you dont know much about punk obviously

[dazincalculation]

1:06 I wonder if there was a $50- bet on that prank?!

They just don't have a bad song, and Ross Wilson, well the dancing, I love it.
