Songs that make you feel Patriotic..

[Dizaster]

There are a couple of Aussie bands and songs that if I was overseas and heard them, they'd remind me of home and bring out my Patriotism for this great island...

This is of course my number 1... I'd actually be surprised if anyone from other countries hasn't heard this one..

YouTube - Men at work: Land down under!!!! (One of their best songs!!)

Love this song too.. Was released in 1983, but still as fresh now to me as back then.. One of my favorite songs..

YouTube - Australian Crawl - Reckless

Another one of my favorite songs... A lot of Aussies hate thing song and feel it's played out, but it will always be one of my favourite songs.. Jimmy Barnes is a hero and one of my favorite singers and voices, Australian or otherwise..

YouTube - Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh (197

And another Jimmy Barnes - Cold Chisel song... Anyone that hasn't heard Cold Chisel before should really look up their top hits.. Brilliant stuff..

YouTube - Cold Chisel - Flame Trees (1984)

And another Jimmy Barnes... Another Aussie classic..

YouTube - Jimmy Barnes - Working class man

Powderfinger is a pretty recent Aussie band to come along, but they have some great songs that I love.. This is probably my favorite by them.. Back during my umm 'substance' days, I listened to this many a time, just laying back and contemplating what the fuck I was doing and where I was heading... Just a great song..

YouTube - Powderfinger - These Days

The might INXS... I literally grew up with my older brothers playing INXS almost every day..

YouTube - INXS-never tear us apart rk2

And this one which is very old.. One of Australia's first bands/songs that broke into the international charts... I'm sure you American dudes have heard this one...

YouTube - EasyBeats - Friday on my mind


Then of course I could list a bunch of AC/DC, but they're so awesome that i'll let the whole planet claim them as making them feel patriotic to be a human being..
