        Electric blue, nice one!

        How did I ever miss Thunderstuck? One of the best songs.

        Ok. Let’s add TNT to the list too!

      I really don’t know many but Reckless by Australian Crawl will always be the first thing I think of. That moment when the strings come in with the prechorus… goosebumps

        I love Australian Crawl. We played Down Hearted at the start of the day/evening/night.

        That’s a good one. I normally play that but it’s not on my list tonight. It is on my mp3 disk in my car though.

        Correction. We did indeed play that. I must have been out of the room.

      Ok. I’m adding another, not my favourite in the least but I’m putting it up there just to be annoying.

      Did you play Bow River by Cold Chisel? Also Midnight Oil Power and the Passion and Talking to a Stranger by Hunters and Collecters. Do-Re-Mi Man Overboard. Now you’ve got me thinking!

        I like Powderfinger. Not a fan of Midnight Oil.

        You played Lemon before off the Zooropa album. One of my favourite songs off one of my favourite albums. (I am aware they are not aussies).

          Zooropa was my intro into u2. Had it in a discman walking around Nürnberg in about 1994.
