[Walesy]

US forces get the nod...

 

[Kong]

Can tolerate Midnight Oil, whereas I can't stand AC/DC.

US Forces for me.

 

[ghostdog]

The Oils! ...and bring back the Nuclear Disarmament Party!

 

[Childish Gambino]

Been waiting a while for matchday 3 to begin. I'll have to wait till I get home to listen to both songs before I make my judgement.

 

[SirJimi05]

AC/DC are an awful band. Midnight Oil is slightly better.

Bit of a nil all draw for mine.

 

[Kong]

If everybody could send in their songs to either Ben or myself, we'll get the rest of the matchups up.

 

[Howard Moon]

us forces for me......

cant stand ac/dc, the oils are ok....plus my new baby girl reminds me of peter garrets dancing when she trys to get to sleep so thats a tick of approval too

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Do not want either.

 

[nomad]

Does Highway to Hell qualify as 80's??

 

[Burzum]

AC/DC wins by default.

 

[Kong]

Oils by default IMO.

Hate AC/DC.

 

[Burzum]

I don't like AC/DC because all their songs sound the same but I hate Garrett's voice more.

 

[84859300]

I grew up listening to both bands. Oils for mine, by a Peter Garrett neck wrinkle.

 

[SirJimi05]

Does Highway to Hell qualify as 80's??

Good point. Surely it's not that hard to choose a song from the 80's?

 

[yaco55]

Two songs that are representative of the heavy rock genre - But come from opposing forces ( no pun intended ).

The Oils who made political statements in their songs - Particularly Anti US thoughts

And ACDC who followed on the legacy of Lobby Lloyd - a heavier style of blues rock - singing about getting laid and getting into trouble.

Watched both bands live on many occasions - Oil's were better live.

 

[Donakebab]

So much hate for AC/DC, yet Midnight Oil are a million times worse.

Good point. Surely it's not that hard to choose a song from the 80's?

Since Bon Scott died before they could release anything in 1980, I let it slide.

You blokes are un-australian.

ACDC are the definition of music in this country!

one of top selling artists in history. by far and away Australians top selling

 

[Kong]

Still crap, though.

 

[Howard Moon]

You blokes are un-australian.

the two scots in their band probaly make them un-australian also

 

[Hurley Bird]

Peter Garrett's dancing loses my vote.. AC/DC all the way..

 

[table tennis]

the two scots in their band probaly make them un-australian also

Australian Citizens!

Dont make Julia G get her immigration policies out - although could be good for her, she obviously hasnt read them!

Yeah, but Brittney was the top selling artist of the last decade.

 

[table tennis]

Yeah, but Brittney was the top selling artist of the last decade.

Thats a disgrace, and every person on this planet should be ashamed of themselves.

No wonder mother earth gets mad at us. A lot of people in QLD must have had Brittney Records, and mother earth decided it was time to take action!

 

[Kong]

Too far, too soon.
