Divinyls were from Australia werent they? gotta love the song "touch myself"

and nobodys mentioned MEN AT WORK???!!!!

DOH!!!!!!!! I love Men at work!!!!!
I read an article a couple months ago about australia having a rapidly growing underground hip-hop scene, and that in a couple of years they'll be blowin' it up.

hilltop hoods rock.... check nosebleed section^

^^ yup, divinyls - aussie... men at work are awesome too....

also, dont forget INXS... great funk/rock/pop blend

INXS should have called it a day after micheal hutchence snuffed it.
spiderbait id rather not kno of their existence
jet are perhaps the biggest rip offs in the rock industry.
cold chisel...who?
grinspoon..who?

i like the vines though, highly evolved is a nice little garage rock album.

however, the only artist ive really ever felt inspired by is nick cave. AC/DC, the birthday party, the fauves, the avalanches, the easybeats- none of them have ever really done anything for me. but each to their own!.

1. agreed
2. to each their own :D
3. yes but they still good fun for light relief...
4. jimmy barnes, great vocalist, has since had amazing solo career...
5. great band... i think youd like em, but who knows

also, check out the whitlams everyone.......

Yeah, now in America there's a reality TV show very similar to American Idol called Who Wants to Be a Rockstar? that's a contest to see who gets to be INXS' new singer.

The Living End are an Aussie band, aren't they?

^ yep... gotta love a guy who plays standin on his double bass......

though the subways rip them off while doing it all better

i dont know if thats funny or just plain pathetic. Theyre doing the same thing with TLC, wonder why axl hasnt jumped on this bandwagon to try and get members for gnr yet?

Because it would be inappropriate to have a contest to see who can cook, load, tie off, and shoot up the quickest on prime time TV.
