Summary:

Featuring Powderfinger, Kylie, The Presets, The Drones, Silverchair, Jet, INXS, Sarah Blasko, Eskimo Joe, The Veronicas, The Living End, Australian Crawl, You Am I, Delta Goodrem and many more, Playlisted takes the pulse of Australian rock'n'roll with a series of short, sharp chapters from leading music journalist Craig Mathieson. Smart, opinionated, funny and often controversial, each chapter launches from a single significant track on an illuminating musical journey - into an underrated album or an overrated career. It's neither encyclopaedic nor heavy-handed, preferring to cut to the chase
