Default Australian Art Rock, Punk, and Proto-Punk from the Late 60s- Early 80s

Kinda specific topic, but I've had a soft spot for that whole scene for years now, even if I haven't delved that far into it. Radio Birdman, The Saints, and Lipstick Killers still get airtime from me on occasion and they always give me something a little different than what I get from other places from the same time period. Not as experimental as post-punk, but I guess due to the isolation they're not bound by the same box that the rest of punk got stuck in.

Anyone else love them some Aussie ****?






So this is totally a better Ramones song than the Ramones ever recorded, right?
