Interesting. The D:Ream song was a huge political campaign song for labor in the uk in the Blair era. It really happened at the time political campaigning started to become emotive and character based rather than policy based. However, Thatcher started the character basis for the uk.

A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.

Telling stories of Australia through music.

With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.

Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!

There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.
