Kiss of death? Didn't the Meatloaf fiasco teach them anything?

TISM for me.

They aren't going to get a guernsey for Eurovision sadly as the softc**k Aussie recording industry would like someone vanilla like Guy Sebastian.

There are plenty of AFL references in their music as well. They could even hire the man mentioned in the following song to play triangle on 'I rooted a girl who rooted a guy who rooted a girl who rooted a guy who rooted a girl who rooted Shane Crawford'.

Where songs like The Holy Grail get construed into football songs,TISM actually sang about football. Edited by Emerald

My mate's and I have this discussion every year. Consensus usually is for an Aussie band, but it has to be someone who will get people a little excited and has a good stack of hits, not just the flavour of the week (remember the Temper Trap, bloke just stood there, had the whole runway and boringly didn't move).

My vote who ticks all the boxes is The Living End. Almost everyone knows them, they have lots of hits and they have energy and put on a show. Dunno how many other Aussie bands (apart from Acca Dacca) would tick all the boxes

I'm not sure the Living End have remained as popular as you would want now a fair way from their prime. But I think you're right in terms of the idea and also right on how difficult it is to find suitable entertainment for a widespread audience who have the capabilities to capture an entire stadium.

It was at night, but KISS put on a decent show if this youtube video is anything to go by

I think I have already two songs that they could include in their Grand Final set list.

I actually thought it was going to be a lot worse than what it actually turned out

Gene has lost a bit of his range but they can still do it

Unlike Meathead who had totally lost any idea at all!!

Fear not SWYL.

KISS may be old but they are entertainers and will rock the 'G' come GF day.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
