Their albums were highly original and successful, tapping into the psyche of the ordinary Aussie boy and girl. Mushroom released their best known song, “Suburban Boy” in 1978, together with an album, “Mug’s Game”. A second album, “Free Kicks”, followed in 1979, but Dave Warner's From The Suburbs then disbanded.
