Today's Song: Sounds of Then (This is Australia) by GANGgajang

This is another song that aliannam asked me to play that I'd never heard of. Apparently this is considered an unofficial Australian national anthem or theme song.

Strangely enough, while I can buy the Goanna cd on Amazon for a reasonable price but can't find it on ITunes or anywhere else for download, this song I could only get the cd for if I wanted to spend something around $50.00, but on the other hand I was able to track it down on iTunes and download it for .99 cents. Ah well. I can't say that I'm that enamoured with the song -- it's an ok pop tune, but if you're from Australia it's, I don't know, like playing Born In The USA here, or something. (Not that I ever really liked that song either.) I picked it up mostly so I could play it for my friend next time. ^_^

GANGgajang - Sounds of Then (This is Australia)


So I guess any rock mix of songs about Australia should include:

Great Southern Land by Icehouse
Land Down Under by Men at Work
Solid Rock (Sacred Ground) by Goanna
Sounds of Then (This is Australia) by GANGgajang

After that I expect you can fill in with your favorite tracks from Midnight Oil, Paul Kelly, Hunters & Collectors, INXS, Silverchair, AC/DC, Yothu Yindi, Crowded House, Outback, Wolfmother, Boom Crash Opera, etc.
