The algorithm works on occasion... well it works frequently when it comes to music. And animals. It recommends the exact wrong thing for me in nearly every other instance.
Ashamed to say that I never really checked out Midnight Oil. I only ever heard them back on Beavis and Butthead when I was a kid (which is how I was introduced to quite a lot of music, actually) and I didn't get it. The video setting was strange, the singer's vocal delivery put me off, and I'd just seen The Hill Have Eyes and he reminded me of Michael Berryman in that movie. I certainly had no idea or contextual understanding of the song's message. But it must have made an impression on me given how well I remember it, even though it wasn't for me at the time. Most stuff that wasn't Metallica wasn't for me back then.
This video had been in my recommends for a while now, and I was intrigued by the artwork, and have been interested in checking them out for years now. This is the first non-Beds Are Burning Midnight Oil I've heard, and it's fantastic! I believe this is a fairly early work of theirs, right? Pre-international success? It's incredible! I hear trad metal, punk, post-punk, new wave, surf rock, with some proggy elements, and tons of inspired hard rock riffing melded into one band. I don't know how their sound progresses with each subsequent release, but this is vibrant, invigorating music, and not at all what I was expecting.
