Midnight Oil. Midnight Oil has been the premier Australian rock band over the past two and a half decades. This track is from the classic album '10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1'.

Who recorded the song 'Khe Sanh'?

Cold Chisel. With the ballsy vocals of Jimmy Barnes, this band rocked through the 70's and 80's. This is the ultimate Aussie rock anthem.

'The rising sun just stole my girl away'. Which band wrote this lyric?

Cold Chisel. From the song 'Rising Sun'.

'Living In England'. Who sang this song?

The Screaming Jets. Recently called it a day. One of the best rock bands of the 90's. This song is from the album 'Tear Of Thought'. A ripper of an album.

'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' A classic song recorded by which band?

The Angels. The Angels have been around for about 25 years. They still rock as hard as ever.

'Original Sin' was an early hit for this internationally successful Aussie band.

INXS. After the tragic death of Michael Hutchence, INXS have tried to reform a number of times. They have used Terence Trent D'Arby and Jon Stevens as frontmen. However it is not quite the same without Michael.

'Fall At Your Feet' is a song by which artist?

Crowded House. A very mellow band who churned out some really great songs. Recently split up and went their separate ways, however there are always rumours about a reformation.

Here's a very obscure one. 'And it would be my luck....She only likes me when she gets drunk....Lately she's been thinking....Of giving up drinking.' These are lyrics from 'Unreliable' by which band?

The Whitlams. From the album 'Love This City'. There is some brilliant songwriting on this album. I love those lyrics.

'Run To Paradise' was a huge hit for which late 80's-early 90's act?

Choirboys. Pretty much their one and only hit, but they are still playing around the pubs and clubs.

'Started out just drinking beer...I didn't know how,why or what I was doing here' are the first lines to which classic 80's song?

The nips are getting bigger. Hasn't it happened to us all? (I don't know. I can't seem to remember.)

Who sang the song that starts out "Started out just drinking beer..."?

Mental As Anything. The Mentals are still doing the rounds of the pubs and clubs. A fun band to see live.

'Sumo' was the title of which Aussie band's debut album?

The Superjesus. My favourite band! They are the best live band I have seen. They absolutely go off on stage. Sarah McLeod (the singer) is the sexiest woman I've ever seen perform.

'You Just Like Me 'Cause I'm Good In Bed' is from which band of the 70's?

Skyhooks. Skyhooks, with their outrageous costumes and make up, were a cool band to see in their heyday. They had some really fun songs.

Which band wrote the lyrics 'Travelling in a fried out Kombie'?

Men At Work. The opening line from the song 'Down Under'. This song was made famous around the world during the 2000 Olympics when all those Aussies won gold. GO YOU LITTLE BEAUTIES!

The rest will be a little tougher. Which band covered the Johnny Cash classic 'Folsom Prison Blues'?

The Screaming Jets. And did a mighty fine job too. It was released on the 'Living In England' E.P? A top little E.P.

Which band has an instrumental called 'Weddingcake Island'?

Midnight Oil. A great little tune. It's a bit of a surfie's anthem. This song is from the 'Bird Noises' E.P. There are some great songs on here. One of their early efforts.

'Smut' was a song written by which band?

Skyhooks. Exactly what the title says. It's about a man's 'activities' when he visits a dark movie theatre. It's amazing what you can do with a packet of Twisties.

'There comes a time in a young girl's life when she first meets a man...There comes a time in a young girl's life when she becomes a woman' is the opening line to a song by this band.

The Angels.

The Dogs Are Talking & Dogs are talking. From the album 'Beyond Salvation'. A very good rock album.

Here is a real toughie. Rob Hirst (the drummer from Midnight Oil) has a side project where he plays guitar and is lead singer. They have released three albums (self-titled, Second Skin and Fibro Moon). What is the name of this band?

Ghostwriters. These blokes are absolutely brilliant. If you get a chance to see them at a live venue do it! They normally have a special guest at each gig. Rick Grossman (from Hoodoo Gurus) plays bass with Rob. Very talented boys.
