While Music From The Home Front was created to honour the Anzac spirit and thank COVID-19 frontline workers, the televised concert proved to be a reminder of the depth of talent of the Australian music industry.

Social media was buzzing over the performances, which were all filmed from the artists' homes, with Crowded House's rendition of their classic song 'Don't Dream It's Over' proving to be particularly popular.

Meanwhile, Mark Seymour and James Reyne's duet of Throw Your Arms Around Me and Reckless proved fitting for the poignant occasion.

Aussies over 30-years-old discovered Ruel, thanks to his passionate young fanbase.

Vance Joy's supporting musicians seemed almost as popular as the singer himself with plenty of shout outs to the musician playing the bucket.

Delta Goodrem reinvented Aussie classic 'Down Under' and was joined by the song's co-writer Colin Hay, which earned plenty of praise on Twitter.

But above all else, the overwhelming response seemed to be love for local music and a call for more to be seen on live TV.
