These tournaments would have been way more interesting if each artist could only have one song picked per decade.

So, like I said before, I'm going "Full Aussie" for my last 4 tracks (and truth be told, I could very easily have a great team here that I would be very happy with indeed that was in fact all Australian) and it happens to be 2 of my one-time favourite bands that get the nod.

The greatest Oz Pub Rock band of them all here with the song that can get a room full of burly drunk blokes singing at the top of their lungs "You don't make me feel like I'm a woman anymore!":

Hunters and Collectors - Say Goodbye


And my final pick goes to one of my favourite tracks by one of my favourite bands, lead by the greatest bald individually stylistic dancer ever to front a rock and roll band - please always remember Peter Garrett as the lead singer of the mighty Oils, not as his later incarnation as a hamstrung party line politician:

Midnight Oil - Power and the Passion


You take what you get and you get what you please
It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

That's an awesome fucking song.

EDIT: I'm referring to Walking on Thin Ice.

yeah, that's not bad. Not my thing, but nothing I've heard from yoko outside of that terrible live performance has struck me as something worthy of contempt or anything.

Well, it's almost six minutes long, and I'm on Fire is only like two and a half.
