All in all a pretty good list!
A few idle observations (make of them what you will...)
- Is 'the nosebleed section' really the best song of the last 10 years and the best Australian song of all time? I'd never heard it before...
- the men responsible for 5 of the top 7 songs died prematurely
- as has been noted, total lack of frontwomen (other than guest vocalists) is remarkable
- very few significant acts are missing though - Sex Pistols and Men At Work being the most notable omissions
- Culture Club at #15? Call the (Karma) Police! ;-)
