“Don't Throw Stones” by The Sports

"Don't Throw Stones" is the title track of the Sports' second album, and the Australian rock band put it out in February 1979 as the record's second single. Two members wrote it, lead singer Stephen Cummings and Andrew Pendlebury, and Cash Box magazine reckoned Cummings' forceful vocal was enough to win over both rock and pop radio programmers. It went to number 26 on the Kent Music Report.

Nearly four decades later it was still in the conversation: in January 2018 it turned up in Triple M's Ozzest 100, a countdown of the "most Australian" songs of all time.
