A to Z: 100 Best Australian Albums so "D" is for...

Duck or this Aussie member of the duck family called the Pacific Black Duck which is my favorite duck and once again from the John Gould's The Birds of Australia too. If you missed my last three posts I've now edited them because all these post which are about my favorite Aussie albums started getting to be not really at least before I edited them, that probably only makes sense if you read them before.

At the top of the post I'm just going to pick out one of my favorite Aussie birds that starts with the same letter as the albums in the post and I've been looking at the old John Gould's The Birds of Australia books so it seems right to use the images and hopefully it will not take a month to write each one - which is how long the last three have taken.

Anyway on with the next four albums of my 100 Aussie albums under the letter "D". I think I will continue with keeping what I write on each of these albums short to one sentence like the last post, or this is going to take me forever but I might come back and write more on each album at a later date, under the title of "classic album" because I think all these are classics, have I already said that?

Dead Wood Falls by Jen Cloher & The Endless Sea

Well, Jen Cloher has somewhat been lost in the flood of solo Aussie female artists over the last few years. For me she is on pretty much on the top and this, her debut album, is the one I would have to pick out.


The Definitive Collection by The Sports

This two disc set is epic in just how much stuff is included on it, for a band who released four EPs and four albums in the late 70's and early 80's before breaking up, this is what the title says it is.


Dirty Three by Dirty Three

How could I not includ the debut album from the band I would call the greatest band in the 90's No one could come close to this band in that decade, not just in Australia but the whole wide world.


Drunk On A Train by The Painkillers

This was recorded as just a demo to get more gigs but this was just too good or so great not to releas as their debut album and it's also a wicked comeback for James Baker.

Stay tuned for the letter "E" soon...
