      Deciding Australia’s Top 40 Aussie Rock Anthems

      It’s a tough call when anyone tries to outline the most important Aussie songs, but for author Glen Humphries, it’s clear he likes a challenge.

      Humphries, who’s also a journalist for The Illawarra Mercury, is an author whose name adorns numerous books on topics such as sports, beer, and music. The latter has seen him write volumes such as Healer: The Rise, Fall And Return Of Tumbleweed; Lull City: The Wollongong Music Scene 1955-2020; and Little Darling: Daryl Braithwaite and The Horses in the last few years alone.

      For his latest effort, Aussie Rock Anthems: The Stories Behind Our Biggest Hit Songs, Humphries has taken a wider look at the music and the memories that make up the fabric of our cultural history. While Humphries was raised on a steady musical diet, it was names like Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, and The Angels that proved influential, and ultimately led to a desire to pen this new book.
