Almost went with that after the Nick Cave hating Up thread, but decided to go with it anyway. The Divine Fits version is the best cover in my opinion.

@moderators can you change the title of this thread to Music League Round 8 - Australia

Thanks!

The world continues inexplicably sleeping on Underground Lovers. Good thing @robluvsnic wasn’t in here to see the results.

The state of all you pricks agreeing with the fact that Torn is a great, great song then not voting for it… I see you, @Spen78 (though props for choosing The Sleepy Jackson)

(also massive safetywink to any and every bit of beeves I try to do in these threads. I just like arguing about stuff, but mean almost none of it when it comes to music)

Sad no one went with Deaf Wish, I almost did but had to go with UL. Lithium Zion is a great album.

Fans of early Trail of the Dead will probably like this one:

Oh yeah, meant to say, no points for her, I like the song, but she’s lived round my way for years, yet never popped by to say hello.

Lol, just looked up the answer to @TAFH33’s Natalie Imbruglia question. Well I never (but should have guessed)

Has it got to the point where you know she can’t remember your name but it’s too awkward to ask, and you just have conversations that kinda peter out after about thirty seconds? Fair play if so.

Now that you mention it, I’ve never not had that with Australian musicians who now live reasonably locally.

Wait does Natalie Imbruglia live in Reading/Berkshire?

Never listened to them before but really liked this track

I originally picked Torn and then switched to Kylie.

Fuck

Idk, she used to live in Berjshire, at least, somewhere east of here, but I used to live east of here too, maybe within 5 to 15 miles of former Australia resident, Natalie Imbruglia

Get Blake Scott’s solo album which is brilliant

as well as Shepparton Airplane’s album (the rest of the Peeps)

I’m fairly new to them and got into them through their 2017 reunion album, but they’ve apparently been around for 33 years and are still going strong. It’s a shame the primer threads fizzled out before robluvsnic got around to doing one for them, they have a lot of albums and a wide range of material. I know The Church has called them the best band in Australia.

I don’t know what this game is or how it works, but if what you’re saying is that more people should listen to Underground Lovers, then I heartily agree.

Which one? (search doesn’t find it, and thread to long to go look myself)
