#MusicChallenge #ArtistFave15 John Farnham 15>1 1 Burn For You (Chain Reaction, 1990) 3rd single from CR. A brilliant, emotive, mournful, gorgeous ballad, co-written by JF. A #5 ARIA hit. "I guess it feels like you're always alone And I feel that way too" www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDJM...

John Farnham 15>1 1 Burn For You (Chain Reaction, 1990) 3rd single from CR. A brilliant, emotive, mournful, gorgeous ballad, co-written by JF. A #5 ARIA hit. I think it should've been the CR lead single. "I guess it feels like you're always alone And I feel that way too"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 2 Touch Of Paradise (Whispering Jack, 1986) 3rd single from WJ. JF gorgeously covered Mondo Rock with his vocal prowess. An absolutely stunning version that touches the heart. "And all I do is look into your eyes"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 3 That's Freedom (Chain Reaction, 1990) 2nd single from CR - my fave JF album - #6 ARIA hit. An anthem almost as big as You're The Voice. Love the addition of Southern Sons to backing too. "One heart One way One love"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 4 You're The Voice (Whispering Jack, 1986) Our real national anthem; one of the best known & most loved Oz songs. 7 wks @ #1 & chart success o/seas as well. Almost a crime to rank this #4! "We're not gonna sit in silence"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 5 Age Of Reason (Age Of Reason, 1988) Lead single/title track from AOR. Big #1 hit in Oz. The song is a call for reason - listening, empathy, kindness, common sense - a message needed still. "What about the world around us"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 6 Pressure Down (Whispering Jack, 1986) Perfect 80s pop. The 2nd single from JF's monster album Whispering Jack (25 wks @ #1; 24x platinum) & peaked at #4 on the ARIA. Still more to come from WJ! "It's rising like a storm"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 7 Help! (Uncovered, 1980) The lead single from Uncovered was slow-tempo cover of Help! Lauded as an exceptional cover of the Beatles, it revived JF's career, peaking at #8 in Oz. Live version! "And now my life has changed"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 8 Chain Reaction (Chain Reaction, 1990) The catchy, upbeat lead single from CR was penned by David A Stewart & Siobhan Fahey & hit #6 on the ARIA. CR is my fave JF album. "Nobody's gonna put me down Do I make myself clear?"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 9 Please Don't Ask Me (Uncovered, 1980) The 3rd single from Uncovered wasn't a hit when released (#67) but became an enduring fan fave. "You could easily make me happy, that I know But I'll try my best to never tell you so"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 10 Have A Little Faith (In Us) (Romeo's Heart, 1996) Lead single from RH. #3 ARIA hit. About overcoming relationship issues. "How we betrayed each other Trying to rediscover That feeling once again This is not the end"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 11 Two Strong Hearts (Age Of Reason, 1988) It's hit till the end now! 2nd single from AOR. #6 ARIA hit. Upbeat, fun, aspirational. "Well there's no need to analyse this kind of emotion 'Cause it comes naturally"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 12 Reasons (Whispering Jack, 1986) 4th single from Whispering Jack, still the highest selling Aussie album at home. Live vid. JF brings the energy. More to come from WJ. "Some people are dreamers They live for the future"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 13 In Days To Come (Chain Reaction, 1990) 4th single from Chain Reaction. A powerful song of hope. "In days to come we'll see the sun As more than just a star In days to come we'll be as one No matter where we are"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 14 Beyond The Call (Age Of Reason, 1988) 3rd single from Age Of Reason. A powerful, multivalent ballad. "Go beyond the call of love And beyond the dreams of man I have seen where glory falls At the touch of mercy's hand"

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge John Farnham 15>1 15 Every Time You Cry (with Human Nature, Anthology 1, 1997) Starting with a retro-style duet that hit #3 on the ARIA. With Human Nature on board, the harmonies are simply superb. "Wash away the pain 'til you smile again"

#MusicChallenge #ArtistFave15 #JohnFarnham In May, I'm sharing my fave 15 tracks from the guy we Australians deservedly call 'The Voice' - who's given us our unofficial national anthem - & has 20 top 10 singles, including 4 #1s, & 21 top 10 albums, including 11 #1s. The legendary John Farnham 🎶🇦🇺💥

MEA CULPA! Having been offline all month, I mis-cued my own challenge. Big apols to @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social 🙏 We should be posting the best track #1 on an album today; best track #2 tmrw, etc. My bad! Shortly I'll take this down (may re-appear later!) & replace it with the best track #1 ever 🔥

#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax Here's what we had in mind for the challenge: The track number on the album or CD dictates which date you can "play" or post them. Today's early post is Day 1, so any CD or Album Track 1 is eligible.

Join @geodrew.bsky.social and me TODAY for early posting in #ArtistFaveAlbumTrax! Tally your fave artists and songs (singles or not) as we highlight Tracks 1-10 daily for the next 10 days! Finding the "best" Track 1, 2, 3, etc. is the challenge! We know it's going to be amazing! Can't wait!🙌 👍

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 1 If I Could Their biggest hit. A perfect nostalgic soft-rock ballad with beautiful lyrics. Peaked at #4 on the ARIA. If I could paint I'd paint a portrait of you The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 2 That's When I Think Of You Their debut single & a perfect late-80s pop-rock track. Immediately hooked on 1st hearing. Peaked at #6 on the ARIA. When I'm caught in the crossfire Of wrongs making right

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 3 Compulsory Hero The top 3 are so close. This nostalgic ballad reflects on the Vietnam War & Australian conscription. Terrific video too. ARIA #14. I've got a new game for all you boys It's war without a choice

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 4 You'll Never Know * My top 4 were all Top 20 Oz hits. This rocker was the 3rd single & hit #15 on the ARIA Chart. Whispering voices deep inside Crying to be heard Telling me to take the risk of love until it hurts

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 5 To Love Me * Serendipitously, #5 is the 5th single. Since we're down to the singles, now you finally get videos too! But every now and then you cross my heart again Oh, how could you pretend to love me?

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 6 All The People * My top 5 are singles; this is a great album track. One last kiss, another slamming door Tear-stained eyes, so unsure Nobody knows what they're fighting for Killing time, what's fair in love and war?

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge ...ish, 1927, 1988 10>1 7 Nothing In The Universe Can you imagine somewhere in time Chaos and madness and stars that never shine? Worlds they collide and all that survives Is the memory and the debris Of broken hearted lives
