Couldn't resist this list as I was curious about Crazy-Horse's recommendation of Crowded House...after many listens of Woodface I wanted to know where exactly where it panned out in Australian rock music history... it's at number 3 ! behind AC/DC and a surprise to me...at number 1 - Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust,,,from 1987 ,,,during my " I don't care about music period". I was only familiar with the radio single Beds are Burning...evilB lists it as one of his albums in which he likes all the tracks. Another reason for me to investigate.

I am sure Crazy can weigh in on his country's top 100 !!!!

These lists are for fun and for information purposes. I really wouldn't engage in a meaningless debate as to album positions ..however omissions are always interesting

Any similar Top 100 lists from the United States of America, United Kingdom, Nederlands, and Jerome's Ireland and South Africa??? ...unfortunately Jerome is on sabbatical !
