The band's most popular song, "Shark Fin Blues" - "an anthem of sorts for the disenfranchised and melancholic" written after the passing of lead singer Gareth Liddiard's mother - was voted the greatest Australian song of all time by the band's contemporaries in 2009 and is now widely considered to be a classic.
