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
