This list will be shorter than my other lists on this site, mainly because I'm only including songs in the last third of the year as these were the songs that A: technically the first to chart in Australia as David Kent only began tracking the charts this year (Go set charts not withstanding) and… Continue reading Hits of 1974 Australia
Bibliography
Well I have done my best to be as factual as I can on this site, as such I feel I need to include a bibliography here to ensure my readers can fact check what I've said to ensure that I'm not pulling theirs legs. https://rateyourmusic.com A good place to discover new music in general,… Continue reading Bibliography
Biggest comebacks in Australia
This list will cover the albums which brought an artist back from the brink of obscurity, ranked of course by how successful the album itself was. To qualify for this list, an artist had to have had a noticeable absence in the Australian mainstream or come back from an album that had threatened to end… Continue reading Biggest comebacks in Australia
Madonna songs ranked
This is another subjective list of mine, although in this case it's due to me ranking all of Madonna's hit singles given that A: I'm a huge fan of the queen of pop and B: how diverse many of her songs are throughout her career. Suffice to say that this list is my personal opinion… Continue reading Madonna songs ranked

I wish I could talk more about the song itself… Continue reading Weirdest music videos of the 80’s

Triple J hits first ten years
Since I've been referencing the radio station Triple J a lot throughout my website, I feel that it would be interesting to see where all of the entries for their annual year end lists would end up if I were to make a ranking with only these entries as eligible. As such I've decided to… Continue reading Triple J hits first ten years
Why I like “Money for nothing” despite its problematic lyrics.
OK so some people are likely wondering why I love Dire straits so much, particularly their biggest hit "Money for nothing" which contains the word faggot used throughout the second verse (I'm part of the LGBT community and thus can use that word.) Below is a picture I took of my copy of Fred Bronsons… Continue reading Why I like “Money for nothing” despite its problematic lyrics.
Australian albums of 1975
This will be the earliest year I'll be covering on this site, mainly because A: I don't have much love for music made prior to this year and B: this is where the southern hemisphere began tracking the popular music of their respective countries. Even though this live album was released in 1972 and thus… Continue reading Australian albums of 1975
