There's way too much Cold Chisel on this list for my liking.

My favourites (from the songs on the list) are:

Lazaro's Dog - Home Entertainment System
Paul Kelly - How To Make Gravy
Masters Apprentices - Because I Love You
The Superjesus - Down Again
Testeagles - Turn That Shit Up
Paul Kelly - To Her Door
Ben Folds - Adelaide
Sia - Buttons
The Mark of Cain - Contender

TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.

The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Needs exactly ten times as many Angels songs as were listed there to be accurate.

Good list.

I saw the Pharaohs at the BDO. Blew me away.
Loved the Mandlebrot Set and saw Flat Stanley a couple of times.

I could add Jump to Fly (?) by Colourwheel. Loved that track.

If the Angels counts as South Australian then so does GANGgajang. Bidstrup and Bailey in both bands, and keyboardist Geoffery Stapleton was also a Croweater.

From that list, I plump for:
Mark Of Cain - Battlesick
FAB - Happy People
Paul Kelly - Before Too Long
Cold Chisel - Flame Trees
Where's The Pope? - We Want Your Beer
Vertical Hold - My Imagination

Would love to have voted for Baterz' "Target's Air Conditioner", but sadly amiss... Likewise Reckoning, The Clowns Of Decadence, etc...

Picked up an Exploding White Mice CD for $1 at a garage sale the other day and it bought back memories of Adelaide's Greasy Pop Record label in the early 1980's with bands such as Exploding White Mice , Where's the pope, The Dagoes , Mad Turks from Instanbul .

Is Icehouse (Flowers) and Adelaide band? Not a fan of their later stuff but I love the song 'Icehouse'. Noticed a lot of Cold Chisel hate on this site as well. Now if it's Barnsey solo I can understand that but nothing wrong with Chisel.

Icehouse (Flowers) were formed in Sydney and Iva Davies is a born and bred New South Welshman.

Personally I'll pass on Chisel thanks, but you probably guessed that.. ;) :lol:

Well there you go. I just seem to remember Flowers playing a lot of gigs in the old days and figured them for locals.

Went to A Day On The Green last year at Peter Lehman Wines & Rick Brewster said that Adelaide is the home of The Angels.
