All 70s/80s Australian bands are, by definition, pub rock, apart from Dead Can Dance.Were The Go-Betweens, The Scientists, The Church, The Saints, The Birthday Party, Us Mob, No Fixed Address, Coloured Stone, Radio Birdman, Rose Tattoo, Midnight Oil pub?

It turns out Pick Withers played with Dave Edmunds too. It's all making sense now.

Doctor Parkinson declared, "I'm not surprised to see you here. You've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer."

There's a few acts that shouldn't be on there, pretty obvious who they are I'd say. I'm sure some of it is not bad, good even, but why anyone would need three CDs of this stuff I can't imagine.

This song says it all in just over 4 minutes.

With so many pub rock bands of the era having not recorded, we’ve plugged the gaps with a few acts (Status Quo, Mott, SAHB, Thin Lizzy) who had an agreeably down-to-earth, spit’n’sawdust mentality even though they were too big to play the circuit. After all, pub rock is a state of mind as much as a physical location… Oh well, that sounds alright---but, if they're gonna have Mott The Hoople, and they are, I would have expected them to pick, say, "All The Way To Memphis"---fitting the roots etc. format better than "I Wish I Was Your Mother'!

Yes, that is a weird pick.

That Brewer’s Droop tracklist (from their 1972 LP, Opening Time) is just fantastic! It’s superior to any gag or parody.
