Best Kiwi Rock Songs

This deserves a thread of it's own. Self explanatory.
Instead of just dumping youtube vid upon youtube vid at least try and be creative and explain your thoughts.
I'll start with this, cos this song fucken goes off and is in my opinion the BEST thing Dave Dobbyn ever did which isn't that tough when you consider I find most of his stuff cheesy as fuck.
Great fronting from Peter Urlich, encouraging binge drinking with mates, cool guitar licks and probably the most underrated, punchy driving bassline in history. Whats not to like ?

I was born for this thread. A few faves from me
Love this track. There is an acoustic on Spotify which I listen to regularly
Always have this on when I fly to NZ ... as the plane comes down the top of the North Island makes it turn into Auckland Airport always gets me going.
And then one which only recently came back into my heavy rotation due to the unforunate passing of it's lead musician
I could probably post 50 songs on this thread!

Love Don McGlashan's voice.
I took a picture of Dom road from up the sky tower last year when I was in Auckland. Posted it on my socials with the question "what's halfway down this road". Not one person had a clue what I was talking about.
Probably because they all think I'm a fluffybunny and have me set to ignore.

This self deprecation deserves all the upvotes.

I love the best of Hello Sailor too, for the same reasons. Gutter Black and Blue Lady are great fun catchy tunes
I hear all that.....but I hate the gratuitous usage of the songs in tv shows/ads etc.
That's not really the songs' fault though is it?

@MN5 it was a troll. I fucken hate the exponents. I remember going to the Tote one time and they were playing. I sang along like a c&nt all to try and get a bit of chick I knew was going. The gig was better than the sex.
Your mistake was going to the Tote!
