Only Neil is Kiwi. And the band was formed in Melbourne. I think they’re considered both.

I'm waiting for jjj to develop the cultural depth to run '100 worst Aussie songs' of all time. Rolf and Chad would feature and some true cringe from much heralded performers.

Sarah Blasko's version of flame trees made me cry. So on that basis, I think hers is better.

Do we need ro have a conversation about where Crowded House are from? Not necessarily a rock classic but an excellent tune at the time: Weir by Killing Heidi.

I hate trying to make that kind of selection. Some of my favourite tunes, I know nobody's heard of, and sometimes the affection is so bound to place and time I'd never be able to explain.
