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! ;-)
