Greatest Aussie song

[fabulousphil]

Not the greatest guitar work or greatest lyrics but songs that are quintessentially Australian or descibe the mood or feeling of a particular era or generation.


"Eagle rock" by Daddy Cool or "Down Under"by Men at Work get my vote.

"Khe Sanh" or "I was only 19"by Redgum are up there as well.

GANGgajang's "Sounds of Then". Not the band's best song, and not overly popular at the time of its release, but has since become an anthem for the band and the nation. And channel nine
