The best ever Midnight Oil songs from 10-1

Midnight Oil are back and judging by the early live reviews and audience vids, they are sounding sensational (of course).

One of Australia’s greatest bands – or as many fans justifiably insist, THE greatest!

While Oils fans around the world lick their chops in wait for Pete and the boys to hit town, the Aussie Times team threw a bunch of the band’s greatest songs in the air to see where they would land after some furious debate and rocking out with a bunch of hard core YouTube gazing.

So here we have it: what we reckon are the top Midnight Oil songs of all time, that we can’t wait to be blasted with live.

Our selection of clips features the fellas’ most memorable videos as well as some of their seminal live moments (we’d almost forgotten they played the Olympics).

And in true Oils fashion we count them down 10 to 1… So, think quick and take a look at our list!
