What are some of the more famous bands to come out of australia? especially in the 60s-70s and 90s?

 

[drainpipe32]

AC/DC?

 

[pcfan123]

ok anyone want to not state the obvious

Baby Animals. The best aussie band since the 80's.

Ooh pick me, pick me!

INXS are pretty legend, Silverchair are good, Wolfmother have released some good stuff. Midnight Oil and Powderfinger. I'm hoping Kisschasy become pretty good because I've been listening to them for about a year or two, and they've done alright. Only problem is their best and worst music are light years apart, and there's not much in between.

And doing some research, apparently Little River Band were pretty good.

Savage Garden were a decent 90s band. Used to listen to them a bit when I was like 5, but I never really liked them that much. They are from Brisbane though I think, as are Powderfinger.

I dunno, Gazza's probably said most of them - AC/DC, INXS, I guess Men At Work if you want to count their 2/3 songs...

Saw Airbourne last week, I swear to god there was a little bit of blood coming out of my ears at the end of it.

 

[Robelinda]

Gazza you plonker, Black Sabbath!!!

 

[pcfan123]

Its ok Rob, he is just a child. Just listen to the garbage they have out now and you will understand why they have no idea about what good music is.

There will never be another Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Kinks, Zepplin, Doors, Who or another John Fogerty

There will only be jet and nickelback
