Australia vs Rest (country, indie, metal, rock, beatles)

^ yeah i see this... this is basically a band to band thread pretty much... cos i know britain and the US completely ****s australia over in the overall... i just wanted peoples views on australian bands in comparison to other bands from other countries rather than a total overview...

Sneer · 07-15-2005, 10:13 AM

well my view is that australian music in the english speaking music league...is 4th. behind britian, the US and canada.

07-15-2005, 10:15 AM

yeah... i can agree with that... like i said, im more interested in how you think bands compare...

for example: AC/DC v The Who

or: Midnight Oil v The Clash

both in terms of music they created and influence they had....

Sneer · 07-15-2005, 10:18 AM

i dont know who midnight oil are so cant help you there. in fact my knowledge on australian music is pretty abysmal. the fauves are ok i suppose..dont know who to compare them to .

07-15-2005, 10:22 AM

mmm... fair enough...

i dont really know that much bout british music so its all good....

recommendations:

cold chisel (cool rock stuff)
INXS (funk/pop/rock)
AC/DC (of course)
The Easybeats (George Young from AC/DC in this before AC/DC)
Men at Work (plain cool)
most of anything else mentioned that ive missed.......

yeah... so check them out for a start

07-15-2005, 10:24 AM

also, for new stuff check out the following...

Jet (rock n roll baby!)
powderfinger (bluesy pop/rock)
grinspoon (rocking)
little birdy (pop/rock)
thirsty merc (pop/rock)

again others i may have missed but thatll do to start......

Sneer · 07-15-2005, 10:32 AM

Sure the UK and the US are the two music superpowers in the world, but I think Australia has done pretty well for themselves considering their a remote island continent that's pretty far removed from both the US and Brittain. Can anyone name a country doesn't directly border the US or Brittain that has had anywhere near the prolific musical output that Australia has?
