When Ryan mentioned the movie "Grease" and then a few minutes later said that he had never heard of/seen Olivia Newton John 😂😂

Not to have ‘The Angels’ all over that Clip is absolutely criminal, at one stage through the 80s they were bigger in Oz than Label mates AC/DC. They’re an Iconic band from the Era. Also Nothing by ‘The Church’ or ‘The Radiators’, either, who were all over the 80s.

As an Australian, I am slightly embarrassed that we have claimed some New Zealand bands & artists as Aussies. Dragon is a Kiwi band as was Split Enz. As Split Enz morphed in Crowded House it became an ANZAC band with a mixture of Kiwis & Aussies. Both Australia & New Zealand punch above their weight in both music & acting given our small populations.

Walk into any bar in Australia and start singing “You’re The Voice” or “Working Class Man” and guaranteed the whole bar will sing along with you.

INXS were considered at one time to be the best rock band in the world.

Saying the Aussie accent comes through in Men at Work is hilarious, Colin Hay is Scottish, and has a Scottish accent 😂

[agnesregards]

Nobody listened to Jason Donovan, so I cant believe he made the list even once, let alone so often.

If you like this Aus music from the 80's then you'll love the songs from the 1970's - it was a magic time for music. Best wishes from Sydney Australia

You: I don’t know that ….every Aussie watching : oh the nostalgia

[derekclements]

You just mentioned the cast of "Grease" Olivia was the leading lady opposite John Travolta.

You're opening a Pandora's Box of Aussie greatness with music. There's still a lot more you don't know or don't realise it's Aussie talent.

[SydneyAstrologySchool]

I cant believe Ryan doesn't know these people. Olivia is huge in America as well as Australia and Kylie is too now. Its wonderful to see what amazing talent and songwriting has come from Australia. Truly Iconic songs!!!

[AdrianCuyubambaDiaz]

Im a peruvian who grew up listening to these songs. I'm so happy to be living in Australia now!
My favourite Aussie bands are INXS, Icehouse, Men at Work, , Midight Oil, and The Church 😊

[susanrogers]

I was only 19...a moving song about the Vietnam war..I recommend you listen to it

[huggledemon]

I laughed so much when he mentioned “Grease” and then later on didn’t know Olivia Newton-John, who was the FEMALE LEAD in “Grease”!
Lol

[boojak]

Fun fact, the lead singer of 1927 was signed up following a performance on a Red Faces segment on Hey Hey It's Saturday!

[shmick]

How on earth is Cold Chisel in this video only once? They probably should have 10 songs in this.

[bradleyedwards]

What made me laugh was that you couldn't understand THE LAND DOWN UNDER singers "aussie" accent....BUT THE FRONT MAN WAS SCOTTISH🤣

[jennym]

As an Australian who grew up in the eighties, I was singing along to (nearly) all of these songs. 😁. Love them ❤❤❤
The only ones I didn't know the words to was Jason Donovan. He was big as an actor in Neighbours, then went to London where we never really heard of him again.
The rest...ICONIC Australian LEGENDS!!❤❤ 🇦🇺

Hi Ryan. My name is Raynboe. I live in Adelaide South Australia and watch your videos all the time. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this video because it brought back a lot of memories for me. Plus I know every song you played. Keep the videos coming please.
