Illy covers Silverchair, Hilltop Hoods, Paul Kelly, Flume for Like A Version 

Still the best like a version of all time.

Literally no one put this much effort into any of the others This is the best one hands down!

I am proud to be an Australian when i hear this. Illy you owe that violinist a drink...

every time i listen to this i end up with a lump of pride stuck in my throat when they switch to Paul Kelly. This is an awesome mix.

still the best like a version ever. period. full stop.

Honestly, this is sooo talented. Even 8 years this still gives me goosebumps at how incredible this is. Proud of our Australian music history!

It goes round full circle, yeah, there’s diamonds in the rough We got a motherfucking earthful Patience is a virtue, but time's of the essence As attention spans get shorter It's hard to drink, must be something in that water A nationwide celebration of creative sides So, ain't no surprise if you make the time Man, it's amazing what you may just find Whatever flavour you like Take your pick, bars, guitars, serato from far and wide The artists from our own backyard here to Carry on tradition Looking up at the stars, saying "One day we’re gonna be where they are," and You wait till tomorrow You wait till tomorrow That well-worn routine shows that you reap what you sow So those seeds gonna grow Get dope, get unearthed and leave home for the road And as what the seasons change, ebb and flow New crops fall in love with the people in the front row Right? Now I know something 'bout that I was a fresh faced seventeen, snuck in the back I couldn’t buy you a round, but I could jump with the pack What a great night, thank Pressure and Suffa for that Under the surface, a scene bubbled and hissed Too many kings to name, countless others to list And like that, doors broke and the flood commenced And now our hip hop's all up in this bitch Watched a fresh style be bedded in the psyche Of the general mass by gentlemen just like me Every unlikely leader, was getting live (if it's your flavour) If it's your flavour, celebrate it beside me because My happiness is slowly creeping back (Why's that?) Just gotta listen to the song, bro I found it off my head with my friends in the front row And I looked around, the faces I’d know I fell in love with the people in the front row And I looked around, the faces I’d know I fell in love with the people in the front row Now don’t get it twisted, the gigs didn’t teeth it It's been here for years, shhh, that’s our little secret Now, it might not have gave birth to a genre But it found its feet in between rehearsals and encores Soon enough, tours done for And then it's back to the lab again, the pen and pad again For soul and glory, word to Paul We love those great tellers of Australian stories, right And he said since I left you I know, not somebody that I used to Leave lonely, she said better be home soon Or something’s gotta give Man, it's the tale of the travelling musician She knew, but still struggled with the distance And he wished a big jet plane could take her with him 'Cause it's always better when she's near He was shaking in his seat, riding through the street From a Virgin flight, to her Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets To Newtown and straight to her door To her door To her door To her door And so it goes full circle, as those stories of yesteryear Give way and the next appear No less revered, nah, they’re treasured as legend here But new diamonds in the rough make their presence clear And all they want in this life is the chance to do their thing But who got next can wait, I got now, I say I want the top, top, top, top, top, top All my people in the back of the spot I want the top, top, top, top, top, top If you know me you don’t know me to stop I want the top, top, top, top, top, top All my people in the back of the spot, let off a shot Bringing that knife through butter flow out Got summer sewn round my pinkie One, two, won’t suffer no clowns Didn’t know then, they about to know now We run this shit like the buses broke down, huh Now that’s one for the kids Two for the stories, three for the gigs Four for the right now and it don’t stop When Cinematic drop, bets off I said I want the top I want the top, top, top, top, top, top All my people in the back of the spot I want the top, top, top, top, top If you know me you don’t know me to stop I want the top, top, top, top, top All my people in the back of the spot, let off a shot ☯☮

7 years, crazy how time flies by.. still fucken awesome ✌✌✌

Seriously that was fuckin dope. Excuse my Americanisms. I loved the tributes to the Australian revered bands, singers and songwriters and how you melded your rhymes. First class guys

A decade later, still can't stop watching this masterpiece.

DID we not appreciate the massive effort by old mate on the paddle pop sticks!!?? Absolutely killing like a 100 different beats in that thing flawlessly!!??

The Hilltop bit is freakin awesome.

Best like a version hands down....ever

still the best like a version hands down, 7 years later, NOTHING CAN TOP THIS

Listening in 2019! Still SO good, my fave Like A Version ever

A true celebration of Australian music, big respect!

Still haven't heard a better like a version 6 years later

THAT was freakin amazing!!! Informed, educated, respectful, creative and musical. Best respect to Aussie music I've ever heard!!! Thank you.

Mad respect Illy and every professional in this room. Mad respect Aussie muso's and creative talent east-west, far north to tassie. Among the best in the world. Mad respect for our awesome musical history. Damn right, among the best in the world. Mad respect for our native people's cultural and creative heritage, sorry for everything we stole from you. Peace all.

2019, and still one of the best like a versions on record!

This is unbelievably brilliant. I am 43 year old 2.3 kids bloke, this gives me faith in our youth

Never get tired of listening to this! Love how Illy pays homage to some of the great Aussie artists. Much love and respect.

I've listened to many LAVs and I rate this as the best. So much effort and so well done by all involved, esp Illy, whose music I had never heard before watching this video. What an absolutely monumental performance.

Illy, this is musical genius. Amazing work. Even listening to it the second time made my cry.

that nosebleed section cover from 1:20 was fucking sick!

I'm mid-fifties and just discovered this and cannot stop watching and singing it outstanding stuff

I get so hyped when the Nosebleed Section strings come in

This is awesome. Im a kiwi music lover and this song epitomises everything that is awesome about Ozzie music... Love it

I come back and listen to this song every now and then and it gives me goosebumps. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Saw Silverchair and had my attention... Awesome to see music from my times isn't lost on newer generations and they can 'update' music with their new experiences

not gonna lie this gave me goosebumps

this *is* my fav like a version of all time, bar none!!

Anyone else love the male backup singers swag..? Also amazing drumming.

Cant even stop watching this. Straight up repeat all night. So Aussie, so awesome.

so much going on its hard to comprehend

Still the best Like a Version ever. Still going back to watch the Maestro. Just. Respect.

I'd be lying if I said I listened to hip hop regularly but f**k me if the hip hop boys don't make the best like a versions!

This is definitely going on my top 10 like a versions.

I'm over 60 but love this to bits. What an amazing version.

By far the dopest Aussie MC to take on Like A Version - smashed it for 6 Illy..

12 months old and still love hearing this. A great tribute to Aussie music. Well done Illy and Co

Im a metalhead, but wowww, this song BLOWS my mind!!! 🖤

This is probably one of my favorite "Like a version" covers out. Defiantly my favorite with rapping in it.

One of the best covers ever! Gets better every time I listen to it. 😎

As a lover of both music in general, and Aussie hip hop, this is pure bliss.

This mash up sum up what triple j like a version should be, but also what it is to be Australian and it never gets old 🤙🏼✌🏼

If this doesn't make the hairs on your arm stand up and raise a tear of pride in you eye, you have not yet evolved into an Australian, hugs.... keep trying you will join us

Best like a version ever hands down.

So many time I've watched this, it never gets old

This song got me into Australian hiphop, amazing lyrics and watching the backup singers and musicians come together

.... like an eternal classic .....

Listening in 2019! Still SO good, my fave Like A Version ever love it. Im probably the only Illly fan in America haha

Love your work!!!! Really happy to see string instruments Reed and string so very absent so often with new music and in fact forever! Amazing vocals !!!

9 years later and this still goes off like a frog in a sock! To mash 4 songs into 1tribute and to pull it off. Amazing. For it to still have people coming back after 9 years? A legendary effort by all involved!

One of my favorite like a versions ever. All involved did a colossal job. Legendary.

Fuck, I love Aussie artists and music! So good.
