okay going for

Just some last minute suggestions for anyone else not sure what they're going to put (or if harkan allows me another one):

The Hard Road - The Hilltop Hoods
Bag Raiders - Bag Raiders
Cruel Guards - The Panics
Strange Bird - Augie March
Hi-Fi Way - You Am I (One of our greatest, I (or someone else) really should have put at least one of theirs in)
Grinderman 2 - Grinderman

Or just allow those of the Australian persuasion to pick 6 instead of 4 because you know we'll know 😁

John Farnham - Whispering Jack
John Farnham - Age of Reason

(I think the two albums by an artist rule might be holding back more entries. If you get stuck near the end, it might help to finish off the last few entries)

As I previously stated, if I knew they could be entered in the tournament I would have certainly picked at least one Bee Gees album 🙁

I got my hands on pretty much the entire Bee Gees catalog about 15 years ago and it was then that I realized just how many great songs the Bee gees have made 😲

They were great even in the 60's

This is them in 1969

Depends on the album. On that list, they have their best of (which is a compilation). If the album was produced in Australia, I would say yes but the Bee Gees are a difficult band to pigeonhole (nationality-wise).

I'd say that only the albums pre-"Bee Gees' 1st" count, as everything from then onward was not produced in Australia.
i.e. "The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs" and "Spicks and Specks", which probably aren't their best efforts anyway.
