Default Australia vs Rest

How would you say Australian music stacks up against the rest of the world?

( And no, this isn't for a school project so NERRR! )

The Birthday Party , The Go Betweens , Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. All hugely influencial in the indie scene over the past 20 years.

I think if you look around enough, most countries music scenes are pretty equal (as far as the quality of music produced). Alot of what is percived as "better" has to do with how much publicity an artist or band gets. I know I like some non-US bands, but the only reason I know about them is because they are marketed in the USA. I'm sure your music is just as good as everyone else, but it probably just doesn't get enough exposure (at least in the US). And since most mainstream people don't go looking in other countries for music, it stands to reason that we only hear whats marketed in our particular part of the world.

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!.

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?

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.
