Nice to see some love for the Drones and SFK besides the more obvious choices.

I could’ve just filled the whole list with SFK. One of my favourite bands, great b-sides

When I’m scrolling TikTok at like 5:30am when the kids are up early, I frequently get a livestream of karaoke from a bar in Ballarat, VIC. These people know how to party.

*eye twitch*
Formed in Melbourne in 1985 by one Kiwi and two Aussies.
The Triple J rules state a song is eligible if 50% or more band members are Australian

Nah, I totally get it. But as a Kiwi I am contractually obliged to object in some way.

Dempsey is like Vedder in that he can cover almost anything and make it sound amazing
Great lists cop and zeb.
Nice Grinspoon selection cop - I forgot that song existed. I always really loved the 'Snap Your Fingers Snap Your Neck' cover on that EP with it's chainsaw/lawnmower-sounding guitar
zeb - I couldn't squeeze any Courtney Barnett into mine but History Eraser is a great choice. Dempsey's actually done a cover of it funnily enough

How good is that! The Fanning Dempsey tour last year was great as well. I hope Paul D keeps going forever to carry the mantle from Paul Kelly.
my list is a little run of the mill, maybe I went for too much mass appeal
Shark Fin Blues-Drones
Good Dancers - Sleepy Jackson
Monsters - Something for Kate
Berlin Chair - You am I
One Crowded Hour - Augie March
Song Bird - Bernard Fanning ***I really wanted to put back to you in here by SFK***
Southern Sun - Boy and Bear
Into my arms - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ***probably should have voted for jubilee street ***
These Days - Powderfinger
Heavy Heart - You am I.

Into My Arms is the crowd favourite but Jubilee Street is by far my favourite Cave song, arrangement and performance.

Midnight Oil were so fucking good. It's kind of insane.
