“There are so many amazing artists to choose from when you think about Australia’s music history,” 5 Seconds of Summer’s Calum Hood tells Apple Music. The bassist and the rest of the pop-rock band have selected their favourite homegrown tracks, spanning classics to recent chart-topping hits. “There are greats who’ve come and left their legacy and influence on present artists within this playlist. These are some of our favourites,” he says. Below, Hood shares more on some of the band’s picks. Savage Garden, “To the Moon & Back” “Sunday morning. A hot cup of Milo in my hands, and Savage Garden blaring in the background on Rage. Days don’t get off to a better start than that. True artistry at its core. I have the utmost respect for their songwriting.” The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber, “STAY” “We recently crossed paths with The Kid LAROI at the studio in LA. He’s a sweet soul, with the humility and drive of a legendary artist in the making.” Amy Meredith, “Lying” “We wrote with Joel and Christian from Amy Meredith at the genesis of our band’s career. They were the gateways to realising our love and passion for writing songs. Amy Meredith will always hold a special place in our hearts!” INXS, “Need You Tonight” “Every Australian band who dreams of playing on a global stage has studied INXS’s career and catalogue. The ultimate blueprint for being an amazing band.” MAY-A, “Time I Love to Waste” “MAY-A is an amazing artist. We’ve been waiting to tour with her forever, and we’re going to play together on our Take My Hand tour this year. She is a beaming light of hope for the future of Australian music. I can’t wait to see what amazing things she achieves.”
