I routinely get mad that I never got to see that lineup of INXS live. That was SUCH A TIGHT BAND, HOLY SHIT. (The MTV Awards performance in 1988 is FUCKING LEGENDARY) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuSB...

INXS - New Sensation - MTV Awards 1988

YouTube video by INXS LIVE

Also the best thing about this video is EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of INXS is fucking deliverying. Andrew Farriss. Tim Farriss. Jon Farriss. Kirk Pengilly. Garry Gary Beers. All ON FUCKING POINT.

I still get routinely upset that Michael Hutchence is dead. It pisses me off so much.

Midnight Oil is easily my favorite Australian band. Second favorite is these guys, and it's not even close. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Rm...

We have to talk about my insane love of Midnight Oil. I love them so so much. I love Mick being THE MOST UNAPOLOGETICALLY LEFT WING POLITICIAN, it kills me. He's the best. Also, this is the Midnight Oil song that just makes my heart SING. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pKP...

Okay, so after watching The Animals, the YouTube algorithm sent me this. GUYS. YOU 100% GET ME. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejor...

Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning

Mom introduced me to this. And from this moment, I am obsessively, madly in love with Eric Burdon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4bF...

But this is the other War song that just fucking SMACKS. I also have a very big place in my heart for Eric Burdon, so there's THAT... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-Xs...

Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine (1970)

Low Rider is probably the best War song. Unoquivically, I remember dancing in my bathing suit in the backyard to this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwfH...

Up In Smoke 1978 title sequence

It is. But I like it much better in Up In Smoke, because it has that connection to Cheech who is one of my people (That song is very important to Latinos.)
