"Her Charity" by Boom Crash Opera

If INXS could do it, why couldn't Boom Crash Opera? This Aussie band had it all - choruses with huge hooks, excellent harmonies, and thoughtful lyrics. Their self-titled debut came out in 1987 and should have taken the US by storm.

The band went on to have a bounty of hits in Australia, but only flirted with success in the US with their minor modern rock hit, "Onion Skin", from their sophomore record in 1989. In my book, the first three records from this band are like a Holy Trinity of Aussie rock. 

Here is "Her Charity" from their debut, as close to perfection for an 80s record as you can get.
