Music soothes our souls. It’s hard to find a person who doesn’t like music. To commemorate and celebrate music and famous bands and songs, Australia has issued stamps. From the hard rock to the pure pop, ten hit songs of Rock Australia! All songs featured on these commemorative stamps from 2011 were great hits that found their way into the hearts of the music-lovers and philatelists too!

Let’s see a few of these set of 10 stamps:

Original Sin (1984): Started from playing in local pubs & clubs, INXS went on to become an international sensation with hard pub rock, funk and dance rhythms.

You're The Voice (1986): 1987 ARIA Award winning Single of the Year, ‘You’re the voice’ sung by John Farnham for his album ‘Whispering Jack’ is one of the biggest hits of 1986 in Australia!
