Midnight Oil's follow-up to their internationally successful "Diesel and Dust" album pushed them to the top of the Modern Rock Charts, but spelled the beginning of the end of their mainstream moment
I was just the right age in 1990 to think of Midnight Oil as a band that the cool older kids in my youth theater shows liked. Listening to "Blue Sky Mine" and "Beds Are Burning" now, I'm impressed at how contemporary they still sound. There's something in the grandiose instrumentation that I hear echoed in Panic! At The Disco and The Killers.
