YES!

you see, some people know what's what. :cool:

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.

Are any of those bands good enough to be known by anyone outside of Australia though?

Ha, as though that's a qualifier, anywhere in the world?
My opinion on 'em is that they're allright by me, can't garauntee anyone elses.

Exactly! ....

These bands are great...

Pisschrist
Scum System Kill
Schifosi
Pure Evil Trio

Anyone who likes Silverchair can get fucked. Regurgitator are lame as fuck too.

Yay garage bands!

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...?

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
