One of the great discoveries of living in Melbourne was the music. Everyone knows INXS, Midnight Oil and AC/DC. But the there are many lesser lights in the Australian rock diaspora that never escape from the shores of Oz. I've been listening to this music for years. Now, with the help of Muxtape, I'm going to share some of it with you. Enjoy the Forgotten Legends of Aussie Rock:

• The Badloves - Green Limousine
• Cruel Sea - Woman with Soul
• Weddings Parties Anything - If You Were A Cloud
• Things Of Stone And Wood - Single Perfect Raindrop
• Baby Animals - At the End Of The Day
• Meanies - Emulator
• Hoodoo Gurus - Death Ship
• Tumbleweed - Rainbow Waterwillow
• Spiderbait - ShaShaVaGlava
• Cosmic Psychos - Dead Roo
• TISM - Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me
• Hunters & Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me

With the notable exception of The Cruel Sea and Hunters & Collectors, I saw each of these bands live at least once. TISM and Hoodoo Gurus at the Push Over. Cosmic Psychos at the Prince of Wales in St. Kilda and the Punter's Club on Bruncwick Street in Fitzroy. Spiderbait numerous times including recording their live album at the Great Britain in Richmond. Tumbleweed, The Meanies, The Badloves, and the Baby Animals at the Big Day Out. And finally, Weddings Parties Anything at the Push Over and on campus at Melbourne University.

Never before or since have I had access to such great music. It was a (fucking) glorious time for me and I don't even like live music that much.
