Hourly, Daily, You Am I's third album, came out in July 1996 and went straight in at number one on the ARIA albums chart, the middle leg of a run of three consecutive chart-topping debuts that no Australian band had pulled off before. Tim Rogers, the band's frontman, guitarist and songwriter, wrote this batch about childhood, the suburbs and the push and pull of relationships, with Andy Kent, Russell Hopkinson and Greg Hitchcock alongside him, and the power pop crunch turns warm and wistful at the edges.
It plays like one long day. "Good Mornin'" wakes up to an alarm clock, "Who Takes Who Home" wraps up a night out, and after a stretch of silence the hidden "Forget It Sister" starts the morning over again. The lists came later: the 2010 book 100 Best Australian Albums included it, and in 2021 Rolling Stone Australia put it 11th on its rundown of the 200 greatest albums of all time.
