Notes
"The top 40 hits from 20 years of Oz music.
It's diverse, it's electric, it's distinctive, it's exciting. Australian rock'n'roll
over the past twenty years has all of those characteristics - and much, much more.
This collection is a superb reminder of the evolution of popular music in this
country. Forty tracks from forty artists. Forty different approaches and forty songs
that have contributed strongly to defining Australian music over the last two
decades."
Includes this write-up on The Church:
"Swirling, psychedelic pop masters The Church have over the last
decade forged a strong fan base around the world without compromising their vision one
iota. With Under The Milky Way (Rel 15/2/88 HP 22 WI 18) they delivered one of
the finest singles of their career. Written by lead singer Steve Kilbey and Karin
Jansson, it was taken from the band's first album on Mushroom, Starfish, which peaked
at number 11 nationally. They have since released two more albums, Gold Afternoon Fix
and Priest=Aura."
