Wow, no one seems to care about The Oils...

[pinkyblue82]

Ha, I like Power and the Passion and that's it!

I like the album "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" best. What about a deluxe edition of that album?
Are there any special mixes / edits of the singles Only the Strong / Short Memory / Read About It / US Forces which could be included as bonus tracks?
At least they could include Power and the Passion (7" edit / 12" version) and Glitch Baby Glitch (Power & The Passion - Dub / 7" and 12" version) and Wedding Cake Island (B-Side) and maybe some demos and live versions.

Must agree with the previous post......some demo's,12" mixes and/or unreleased stuff wouldn't have gone amiss..........without those i'm afraid this comp will only please the avid MO fan......but you are right they have done some decent stuff over the years.

Love Midnight Oil except they really didn't put anything on here that would make it worth getting. Agree with everyone, they need to put some 12" versions or unreleased stuff on here.

Apparently, remasters are in the works as is a box set, but we won't see these until 2013 apparently.

Because their singer is a sell out who's gone back on just about everything he said making his time in the band little more than a lie?

He's now a politician for the ALP (Australian Liberal Party) and has spoken in favour of American Military bases going against what he said in the song U.S. Forces. He's also spoken in favour of uranium mining having spoken out against dangerous forms of mining in the past as heard on Blue Sky Mine.

'Beds are Burning', probably their best known song is about giving the native lands back to the natives yet Garrett was conspicuously quiet on this matter when the prime minister sent in the military to reclaim the land back from the indigenous people.

He's a spineless hypocritical sellout.

Well.......nearly all politicians have a unique abilty to BULLSHIT and just about all of them have to sleep in a spiral staircase,as they all are as bent as nine bob notes.....

IMHO....the vast majority of em should be either publicly flogged or put in the village stocks of old and pelted with rotting fruit n veg[}:)]

No need for the horned smiley, I agree with you.

It just makes things that little more embarrassing when you've loudly nailed your colours on certain topics and you've changed your stance with barely a whimper as to why, to use a mixed metaphor.

I find your post curious; how has it turned into a slagging match when I am agreeing with you?

Curious, very curious.
