It's the state of play today. If they could get their own songs on the radio they would. David Campbell is on record as saying he's an entertainer and comfortable in the knowledge that songwriting isn't one of his strengths. Not sure about the others.

Oh well, Tina Arena lives in France now anyway.
They just gave her some award- order or something.

Exorphin:
there is some way that the top10 is worked out that makes it all a sham...  I think it has something to do with every place that sells records being counted and each place being assigned a percentile or something ?  Help me out here ? 

from vague recollection, if someone drives 400 km out of Broome and buys a Nicki Webster CD, then theorectically, due to the population out there being 2, then Nikki Webster would have sold to 50% of the population...  Does this ring any bells for anyone or is it one of my drunken stupor memories that were implanted by that wise looking bloke at the pub ?

Forrykook:
Many bands, probably most if not all, begin their lives / careers doing pub gigs getting folk onto the dancefloor doing covers. Of course I am only talking about musical bands who actually play instruments and make music, not talentless, voiceless teeny-boppers who get signed on to a record label cos they got nice tits and make generic tripe aimed at 12 year old girls.

So anyhow, these bands later have their own material and have sold a few records. But they reminisce about the days when they filled a pub dancefloor in a smoke filled, crowded room with sticky carpet. Perhaps they long for those days, perhaps they think that if they make an album of cover songs then it might bring back the glory days of their past.

Perhaps I am full of crap.

It's a shame - haven't head any good new Aussie music for ages
