Wait a minute - you're a Lemmy.World user! And we didn't need to wait a week to see you comment on a thread we moved on from ages ago! This is a big deal!!
I'm talking about the final episode of the whole series - S04E22 "These are the Voyages" specifically. It had the establishment of the Federation, with the founding species etc. That part was great. There was a silly cross-over with the TNG holodeck though, and there was a thing with Trip that must have been some historical inaccuracy with the holodeck record, because it was beyond stupid scriptwriting otherwise.
Definitely putting Seasons 2-10 of Firefly on the list.
The book-accurate version of the later Game of Thrones series, please (and I'll take the completed eBooks of ASOIAF while you're at it).
And there's an error with the final episode of Star Trek Enterprise in our reality. Can you grab the real one without the stupid stuff ours had, please?
I gave them a pass for artists they included, even if I'd have selected different songs from that artist. For Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, I'd have selected Into my Arms. But yeah, the Kylie collaboration was a bigger song than either of the Nick Cave/Kylie tracks they did select.

Ooh! Josh Abrahams!! There's also The Joker from the Hackers soundtrack - which was one of the biggest albums of whatever year that movie happened in. That album is still great, to be honest. Side note: That's something that's a bit lost in today's streaming world. The soundtrack albums to movies are often not on the streaming sites and are at risk of being forgotten.
Yes! We're going to end up with a definitive 90s Aussie music play list, and I'm all on board with it!
I'm all about showcasing local talent. I love most of the bands in the list. But don't call it the "best Australian songs of the 90s" if you're going to leave out so many of the best songs of the 90s.
I loved Ratcat, but I'd have selected That ain't bad. Frente's Accidentally Kelly Street and Custard with Funky again to really introduce a new generation to their music (because Dave's voice is really recognisable to the kids in this track).
It's possible to find a 4x2 house in Tasmania for under $300,000. I can see why people are moving there.
Some classics in this list. Such a list can't exist without people pointing out who was missed, though. This reads like a top 50 of what JJJ had on high rotation. It's missing several acts that were bigger than most of the names on this list. Off the top of my head (and only in the order I think of them), there's:
- Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby
- Taxiride - Get Set / Everywhere you Go
- Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply / Affirmation / To the Moon & Back / I Knew I loved you
- John Farnham - Chain Reaction / That's Freedom / Every Time You Cry - Plus his duets with Barnsy. Speaking of...
- Jimmy Barnes - When Something is Wrong with my Baby (with Farnsy) / Stone Cold
- Kate Cebrano - Pash (Can't count the Jesus Christ Superstar album, unfortunately)
- Tina Arena - Chains
- Wendy Matthews - The Day You Went Away / Friday's Child
- Black Sorrows - Harley and Rose / Ain't Love the Strangest Thing / The Chosen Ones / Hold On To Me
- Icehouse - Miss Divine
- Hunters & Collectors - Holy Grail (Yes, the AFL flogged it to death, but it was still huge)
- Human Nature - Tellin' Everbody / Got It Goin' On / Wishes
- Merril Bainbridge - Mouth / Under the Water
How some of these names were left off the list is beyond me. Savage Garden are one of the only Australian Bands who have managed more than a single hit in the US charts. Farnsy and Barnsy are Australian staples. Even with some of the acts they did get right, I'd have picked different songs.
In the making of this list, I learned that Torn by Natalie Imbruglia and The Horses by Daryl Braithwaite are covers and don't count. Also, an honorable mention to The Waifs and John Butler Trio who were pretty popular around the Perth pub scene of the 90s, but didn't really crack the national consciousness until 2000 or later. This shocked me, I'm normally behind the trends, but I liked these bands before they were charting. Does that make me a hipster?
Couldn't they have come up with their own slogan and not stolen the women's rights one in the US?
O- can go into anybody, O+ can go into 80% of the population. In a pinch. It's better to match blood types exactly if possible. Which is tricky if the patient is AB+/-, those are rare blood types and always in strong demand.

It's basically another Facebook Messenger app. It was its own app until 2016/2017 sometime when Facebook bought it. Your contacts will be shared with Facebook. For all of that, it's a decent messenger.
I don't personally use it any more because I hate all things Facebook.
