Fave Cold Chisel Song

[choc_a_holic]

Won't use a poll because I'm sure there are a vast amount of fave Cold Chisel songs.

I got into Cold Chisel because my parents would regularly listen to their cassettes and now I've started to like them.

I guess my few favourites are Saturday Night, Khe Sanh...umm you got nothing I want, Flame Trees, Quoir Girl.

It has to be Khe Sanh, and by a very long way too. One of the all time greatest songs and probably should be our national anthem as well. They had plenty of other quality hits, but none came close to Khe Sanh.

Khe Sanh - the national anthem

One of the all time greatest songs and probably should be our national anthem as well. .

replace a song to which most people don't know the words with a song that most people don't know the words but are happy to belt out when they are pis5ed!

i see where you are coming from but it doesn't have that forward and progressive country reaffirming quality that i'd be looking for in a national anthem.

Ita
Rising Sun

.........what the hell, the entire East album

 

[Fullarton Power]

Very tough choice, but I would say in order

By far the worst song they ever produced would be Khe Sanh.

 

[SaintsSupporter]

Flame Trees, followed by Khe Sanh.

Circus Animals would be my favourite album.

Favourite track would be Hound Dog. I was thrilled when it returned to the set during Rindside. Other faves...Rosealine, Fallen Angel, Numbers Fall, Taipan, The Door, Never Before, Conversations, Misfits, Painted Doll, One Long Day.

Flame Trees also.

After living in London for 2 1/2 years, I HATE Khe Sanh with a passion...just makes me cringe everytime I hear it...

 

[Fat Pizza]

Ita

 

[whythelongface]

Hounddog, She's No Good For You, Merry-Go-Round, Home and Broken Hearted, Conversations, Painted Doll, Never Before, Star Hotel, Taipan to name but a few.

Used to be a huge Chisel fan as a kid - don't listen to them much anymore but still rate them as probably the quintessential Australian rock band.

Just a pity that no Australian troops ever got within cooee of Khe Sahn during the Vietnam War.
