What do you do when you get to Police Academy 4 at 720 or so? Doesn't that tell you that 1,000 was too many? |

Not a big Chisel fan meself - rather Hunters or Oils or Tony J White or the Pogues or early Bruce or a bit of Tom Waites and at the risk of being labelled unpatriotic I hate Khe San with a passion!!! |
Trade patriotism for taste any time. Really, it only scrapes in to Chisel's top 1,000 because they made less than 1,000 recordings. |

Lol. I think I've finally reached a stage where there are only good films. Which is not to say I have no guilty pleasures.

And yet Khe San gets every, and I mean EVERY, party rockin!
I'm guessing the music snobs hate "will I ever see your face again" too! 
And Khe San is not about Patriotism, its about what war does to you.

Copperhead road is a top song. I'm on fire by the boss is up there as is the river. 70s and 80s rule for me |
I could do a top 1000 just for the 70s. I could actually do a top 2000 with hundreds of songs left over.
The 70s and the first half of the 80s does it for me. The late 60s wasn't too shabby either

Haven't seen either, I have to admit.

Yeah, but you don't think I'd actually like them, do you? 
(Well, Lethal Weapon, anyhow. The other one might be good!)

That's two movies you need to watch. Both are excellent,

Sorry Jo but how does hating a particular song or band for that matter make one a music snob

No argument with your last sentence, and I for one certainly don't hate Khe San or the Angels song you cite.
Everybody knows Khe San. But for Chisel, give me Ita, Four Walls, and especially No Good For You any day. Even Bow River !! One thing's for sure: Don Walker is a hell of a song writer. If only he could've worked extensively with Andy Durant.
The Angels were incredible live. Sometimes I wonder to whose benefit it was that ACDC went to the UK in 1976. Neither band would've been too comfortable following the other methinks. Same deal as Chisel, there's plenty of songs way better than Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. Those songs don't have the pull for the average crowd though.
Every band is the same though: Eagles, Sherbet, Iron Maiden, 'insert your band here'.......................

We need to have a Nick's movie night for David to watch Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. Both critically acclaimed movies that embody the very essence of 80s action, a high water mark for the genre. |

Back in the dae (very early 80's), I found myself one night standing on the stage at Macy's hotel in South Yarra belting out Bow River with Jimmy Barnes arm over my shoulder, big grin on his face, telling/ordering me to sing (yell the words really) louder as his 1/2 empty bottle of Bundy slowly trickled down my back!
Embarrassing really, I dressed like Joe Strummer back then and was the only bloke in the room not sporting a mullet or wearing a Miller's shirt!
Good times!
... hic!
