100 years of Australian Songwriting and an Australian rock canon - ABC News & Headlines – Australian Broadcasting Corporation

With the first ten songs being inducted into the Australian songbook by the National Film and Sound Archive & APRA-AMCOS, we take a look at the state of Australian music and how to pay tribute to our best artists.

The Algorithm’s Hunger Is Insatiable, a new essay by Richard Kingsmill paints a concerning picture about the impact of streaming and the decline of radio. He sits down with Andy to reflect on where radio began, how it's changed, and whether it can still be a force in promoting new Australian music.

And what would an Australian rock canon sound like? Arts Top 5 academic Charlotte Markowitsch explores what Australian listeners think are the best rock bands of all time, how that compares to what they actually listen to, and what Australian bands should be in consideration for the canon.

The Music Show's final live event for the year is on Dec 10 at the State Library of NSW, featuring Andrew Ford in conversation with Kim Williams. Register to attend here.
