Missy Higgins in the top 30 next to Rumours and Tapestry. Good on her.
Grace at number 2 still surprises people overseas. In Australia it's basically sacred.
Anthony Callea's debut album made the top 100 of this. 2006 was a different time.
Hot August Night at 16 is the most Australian thing on this list. Every family I knew had that double LP.
Ha, ours too. Dad played it every Sunday while washing the car.
No Crowded House in the top 30?? Woodface should be there.
Triple J listeners definitely voted in force, you can tell from Tool and Silverchair.
Diorama over Frogstomp is a bold choice but I'll take it.
