Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Arguably Australia's Greatest Band. Full stop.
Everyone knows Beds Are Burning... but that is barely scratching the surface of this quintet.
Lead by charasmatic front-man Peter Garrett (or simply "Pete" said in a deep voice) Midnight Oil released 13 albums and played thousands of shows from the mid-70's to early 2002.
Some of the songs you may know are:
Blue Sky Mining
Power & The Passion
The Dead Heart
King Of The Mountain
Dreamworld
I Don't Wanna Be The One
Outbreak Of Love
US Forces
Read About It
Best Of Both Worlds
Redneck Wonderland
Yes, Midnight Oil were a political band, with most lyrics promoting or denouncing a movement of some description - but it is done well, with passion, with vigor.
For me personally Midnight Oil have produced my favourite front man of all time - Peter Garett, my favourite guitarist of all time - Jim Moginie, favourite living drummer Rob Hirst and two of my favourite albums of all time... Earth, Sun & Moon... & Blue Sky Mining. I only was able to see them perform once... but it will stand as one of the musical highlights of my life.
I will post mp3's later if they are wanted.
