Little River Band began in Australia in 1975 and soon found an audience in the United States. The article highlights four songs it considers enduring classics, pointing to their chart success, songwriting and place in the band’s history.

“Lonesome Loser” (1979), written by David Briggs, earned the group its only Grammy nomination, though it lost to the Doobie Brothers. Graeham Goble wrote “Reminiscing” (1978), the band’s first US Top 5 single; he also wrote “The Other Guy” (1983), its last US Top 10 hit and the first to feature John Farnham on lead vocals. “Cool Change”, written by former lead singer Glenn Shorrock, performed better in the US than in Australia.
