Molly Meldrum makes his debut on Pay TV Channel, 'MAX' this Australia Day to count down the Top 100 Greatest Australian Songs of All Time.
Any time a Top-anything is announced, it's a call fraught with controversy and counter-claim, but this offering is not without serious pedigree. Contributions are from a certified pool of aficionados and will feature songs from Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Crowded House, Daddy Cool, INXS, AC/DC and Kylie Minogue, to Gotye, Silverchair, Sia, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Missy Higgins and Bernard Fanning.
'Max' reckons, rightly, Australian music’s history is rich with songs that have stood the test of time and achieved international success and influenced generations. This, they reckon, is the definitive list as surveyed some of the country’s greatest songwriters and MAX artists.
Which song will come in at number one? Find out on 'Max', Sunday January 26 from 10am EDT.
