Gold to Me - Ben Harper
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Ben Harper is one of the most creative songwriters to come out of the US in a long time! All Hail the King!
Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths

you got it! 
Land Down Under - Men at Work
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
I think you'll find the name of the song is just 'Downunder' - and I'm sure most Aussie's would agree, if they hear it one more time they'll barf... :roll:
Cannonball - The Breeders

Great song from a great band!
Down to the Waterline - Dire Straits
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Can't believe you followed the fantastic Patti Smith with a Dire Straits song....sorry, but I turned off... 
Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Great to hear the Aussie boys on US Radio
...did everyone know they were from downunder??
The rest of the album is great too - "Since I Left You" was another single taken off it - you should look into that one - much more breezier than Frontier...

I can't believe you played this and I missed it!
And as a previous posting said, play "Stargazer" by Motherlovebone - it's an awesome song. Sure beats the Dire Straits and Supertramp songs I hear on here... ;)

I dunno, but cool song anyway.
Yes, I took it as a 'push the little daisy's up' type analogy too.
Jane Says (live) - Jane’s Addiction
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Lurve Janes Addiction - and they've just been added to the 2003 bill for the Big Day Out in Australia - how wild will it be to see them 12 years on from when I first saw them!
Save a Prayer - Duran Duran

Remember singing along to that when I must have been about 13 and not having any idea what they were talking about! 
Great to hear the song again though, it reminds me of the time when I wore a bad frilly shirt and velvet knickerbockers to their gig in Sydney (it was 1983)....and knew every word to their first two albums First Episode at Hienton - Elton John

I can't believe someone said this....it's just one of the albums of my lifetime! If I was stuck on an island, it would be that, Billy Bragg's Talking To The Taxman..., Pearl Jam's Ten and Jeff Buckley's Grace
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Someone earlier mentioned Temple of The Dog - Hunger Strike - please play it lots!! I miss Soundgarden... 
These Days - Powderfinger
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Bernard (the lead singer) just did a fantastic accoustic version of this on the telethon we had for the Bali Bomb victims - wasn't a dry eye in my house that night! "These days turned out nothing like I had planned...." 
Your Ghost - Kristin Hersh
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Loved this song from the day I heard it - and more so after I saw her do it accoustically for a small Aussie TV show! Don't know about comment about the Chrissie Amphlett likeness....
My Happiness - Powderfinger
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
One of the best Aussie bands for ages. You should also check out Alex Lloyd - he's tops too!!!
War (And Hide) - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Did I miss something really important here - did he die? (sorry, haven't been going to my dead rockstars 101 class lately!)
Sworn and Broken - Screaming Trees
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
Love the Screaming Trees, what about playing Dollar Bill?

Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
Posted 22 years ago by Allyson:
kiss me, please kiss me, kiss me out of desire, not consolation... possibly the best lyric ever written.. oh why did we loose him so early in what would have been a distinguished career! Hope you're doing O.K. up there Jeff, you were an angel in life, as you will be in death.
