Talk:APRA Top 30 Australian songs

Is this some kind of joke
Is this some kind of joke? The Loved Ones and Quasimodo Dream? You'd probably expect the top ten to just be basic famous songs... WTH are those doing on here???????

The list the Herald Sun had, at one stage, listed the top 10 as...

1. Friday On My Mind - Easybeats 2. Long Way to the Top - AC/DC 3. Khe Sahn - Chisel 3. You're The Voice - John Farnham 4. Dream On - INXS 5. Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees 6. Jailbreak - AC/DC 7. Great Southern Land - Icehouse 8. Wild One - Johnny O Keefe 9. Pub With No Beer - Slim Dusty 10. Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport - Rolf Harris

another site lists

1. Down Under - Men At Work 2. Highway To Hell - AC/DC 3. I Still Call Australia Home 4. I Hate England (Sing It) - Traditional/Anonymous 5. Waltzing Matilda - Traditional/Anonymous 6. Need You Tonight - INXS 7. Tie Me Kangaroo Down - Rolf Harris 8. Red Right Hand - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 9. Thunderstruck - AC/DC 10. Granite - Pendulum

Seriously... where the hell does those two previously mentioned songs have the nerve being in the top 10, let alone the top 100?114.76.125.212 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC).

I can't believe "under the Milky Way" and "day you went way" didn't make it. Eric boggle wrote and the band played Tuesdayal (talk) 10:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

And what about "treaty" (youths yindi) Tuesdayal (talk) 10:18, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't know how that got translated but it was originally about diamanté drover Tuesdayal (talk) 10:21, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

75 years
I made this edit because the source says "ten best and most significant Australian songs of the past 75 years" it does not say "Top 30 Australian songs of all time". -- PBS (talk) 10:25, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
