AC/DC and cold chisel (sp)
The rest are shit.
Australia isn't Great producer of muscians or actors. Even the two bands i mentioned there have lead singers or members born out side of Australia
Over half the actors who people say are Australian were born overseas.
Mel Gibson, hugh jackman, guy pearce, russel crow, sam neil, the list goes on.
And the ones who you wished were born overseas arent.

Trust me, you would have wanted me to ignore you. Wolfmother is the failed abortion of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, Zeppelin weren't even that good the first time around. If I hear "Woman" one more time I'm going to start beheading babies.

Yeah, Zeppelin seems to be one of those bands that everyone 'has' to like, and it's almost considered blasphemy to say anything bad about them, but I agree. Sabbath were much, much better IMO.

Yes, Silverchair is a band that wishes they were cool enough to be Nirvana but it's the best grunge Australia's ever produced. They had a couple ok songs and they were, like I said, OK. You still can't deny the awesomeness that is Men at Work. Oh, and I like a fews songs from The Vines too... AND I really like Jet. I'll go with Jet. That's my answer.
And as far as Zep goes, they were good but overrated, they also stole a LOT of old blues tunes and never gave the original authors credit. Like The Lemon Song...
can't agree....I'm gonna have to take Zeppelin over Sabbath.
I love them both....but Zep is the better

Over The Vines and Jet? Too derivative for you? Ah well, to each their own. Is there some magical band from Australia you're going to introduce us to that will wow us with their incomparable music or are you just pointing out Australia's lack of good bands because you can?

No, I really couldn't think of a single good australian band that came out in the last 30 years.

a) Wolfmother and Jet are really bad
b) to piss cheeba off
cheeba didn't even come in here :(
oh and the every present

Ah well, I like Jet, Wolfmother is alright, and Men at Work will for ever have me asking people if they do indeed come from a land down under. You're right though, those Aussies haven't been making good music for a while.
And I will take every present please... every last one.

I seriously think that people from overseas seem to have only ever head about 5 Australian bands...and yknow what? Fuck Silverchair...I liked ONE song they ever did (Israel Son) and the rest was just wannabe crap.
So, just what comes to mind:
Friendly
Josh Pyke (plus band...)
Regurgitator
Butterfingers
NewProject
Sonicanimation
The Superjesus
The Butterfly Effect
Pendulum
...I think all of those are alright...and pretty certain they're all relatively recent by comparison to the other mentions...
I'm sure every dingle one of them will bear similarity to SOME other band/artist, but then - this is not exactly a condition exclusive to Australian music, every single band/group sounds like something else.

Evidently you haven't listen to a single one if you're assuming they're garage bands - there's only two among them that I'd remotely perceive that way...But like I said, a question was asked, I answered it...?
came out in the last 30 years
she's right - i don't think anyone from AC/DC has come out in the last 30 years. i did think Malcolm winked at me once, but he may have had something in his eye
as for zep vs sabbath - no question - SABBATH

They range in size/success I guess you could say.
Most of them are known nationally which in itself is relatively large, but no, I don't see it being available in a huge portion of the overseas market.
Does that make them bad though?
I'll let you judge - I've found stuff from most of them pretty easily online.

I didn't say that though, just that they weren't garage bands...there seems to be the general vibe in this thread that if something doesn't make a large impact on the international market that this is a negative thing.
Personally, I'd prefer any of the bands I'd mentioned than most of the music from AUS that has seen more success abroad.

MD was right though, the Aussie music that has made an impact on the international scene isn't very good lately. I do like Jet, some Wolfmother, and a couple songs from The Hives, and Silverchair although I wouldn't call either good. I'll check out some of the bands listed though, never pass up an opportunity to hear something new. You should put a couple songs in the Listen to This thread.
Anyone who likes Silverchair can get fucked. Regurgitator are lame as fuck too.
I also don't like Sonicanimation or Pure Evil Trio.

Air Supply was British... must have been Little River.
EDIT: After checking out wiki it looks like Air Supply had a guitar player and vocalist from the UK and a lead vocalist from Australia but The Little River Band was formed in Australia.
I love Colin Hay from Men At Work....listen to some of his solo stuff...its good:)
NZ gave us Flight of the Conchords......much fun
