[[Midnight Oil]] was an [[Australian Music|Australian]] [[Hard Rock]]
Most of their songs focus heavily on social criticism/commentary, with a leftist point of view - they support environmentalism and worker's rights and are opposed to colonialism. The band's lead singer, Peter Garrett, was Australia's Minister for the Environment, Heritage, and the Arts. He'd run for office before, though, during his tenure with the band.

* [[Angrish]]: Some parts of a few songs on ''Redneck Wonderland'' are pretty much incomprehensible, and the lyrics aren't found in the booklet, nor are they deciphered by most fan sites.
* [[Bald of Awesome]] - Lead singer Peter Garrett.
