[Fossie 32]

I've given a list of countries

The loophole, as previously mentioned by rask, is Cat Stevens (who hasn't been nommed yet )

 

[Fossie 32]

a shame it's not a Muslim song

Loved those old guys at the end

I saw Jimmy live at the Freo Metropolis in the 90s, he put on a good show.

This song went off.

I went to see Chisel a couple of times. Only thing I can remember is Jimmy climbing the scaffolding at Royal Melb Showgrounds with bottle of whisky in one hand

Famous performance at 2:20

 

[Riviat]

How you can tell Google Ads is reading from BF...

I saw Paul Kelly a few times too in a few different venues here and he always delivered.

I wish I got to see The Triffids when they were still around but I got to see GANGgajang in the early 90s at the UWA Ref.

One of the best gigs I've seen, just banger after banger.

I saw Gangajang at The Windsor - you have great taste in music

The Triffids played at my cousin’s wedding (she used to play guitar in a few bands), so that was a bit of a treat.

I went to a bikie gang club house in Denmark when I was 21 (felt very out of place) and all they played was Jimmy Barnes lol

For a moment, I thought you were referring to the country which would've been a very odd place to have a joint playing non-stop Barnsey. Then I remembered there's a Denmark in WA.

They are more diverse thsn people give them credit. Of course everyone knows them for w.c.m

That’s a Barnsey solo. He actually started yelling way more when he went solo. I only really live one of his solo songs - Make It Last All Night

 

[Loonerty]

you have great taste in music

Don't tell him that he'll be ranting all night now

Ocha905 this is why I’m having trouble

Being a DJ involves entertaining individuals engaged in activities deemed immoral in Islam, making the money earned from such endeavors is considered haram (forbidden). Muslim DJs should seek alternative employment for the sake of Allah hoping that He will provide better jobs," Muleme said.

I'm not worried about that. There's plenty of good Muslim DJ's/producers. Would love for you to nom one.
