Paul kelly would have to be one of the best aussie song writers..... not sure which song would be my fave.' How to make gravy' is a great song which has a great story to it. Also 'from little things' is a great song about aboriginal struggles and triumph.
Not to many songs have great emotional attachment like kelly songs do.

Barnsey dont count he a Scottman that told Australia to fuck off and fleed to france then come back with his tail between his legs.is also responsible for people thinking there is no music outside chisel how many fuck wits have you seen at a pub juke box playing the same chisel song over and fucking over again.
And then theres the bastard spawn of the tinlids that was inflicted on us .
Barnsey can go and get fucked

Barnsey is a ****. I was at Ian Moss' b'day many, many years ago at a pub. Had a good chat with the whole crew. Everyone turned up by Barnsey. I asked why he didn't turn up and they said, "That prick doesn't have time for us"

Still great music though.

Barnesy and Mossy don't like each other. That's 35 year old news.

Barnes isn't in the film clip for Flame Trees, as, in his words, "none of the others were talking to me by then:.

Joe grew up in the US, but this song is distinctly Australian....

As @Hacky McAxe mentioned Throw Your Arms Around Me..my fav of all time.. But it has to be this slower version..

The original was quicker but after some advice they changed it..

I also love AC/DC.. She Shook Me All Night Long..outstanding..
