I don't really get the hate-on for Peter Garrett's voice — just the right mix of menace and indignation for their choons. I'd call him a 'manshee'...
And I've always taken a shine to the coda in this song ("In the end the rain comes down...")...

Haha! Did Bill play this one after the Social D tune because of the negative comments about the Oils on that forum?

possibly one of the best "intro's" in (Australian) rock-history!
And then....? Mostly "hot air"....

Ayers ROCK!
GORGEOUS 1-minute intro,
then he sings....
Just another marginal "2-3-good-songs" band from Austrigonees!
OK - this one's not too bad - but the real KICK is lacking!
LAWYERS do not necessarily have great bands,
and why they never play Europe,
instead hiding behind Ayers...
===============
I swear I did not recall I'd written that previously...!

Not a bad song, just that there are a dozen stations where I can get nonstop Midnight Oil / REM / Stone Temple Pilots / etc. But there is only one Radio Paradise.

Great band. Jim Moginie is a very under-rated guitarist, these guys really turned it on live.
