I've recently hoovered up a load of cheap second hand cds and quite a few seem to come from Aus: a couple of Powderfinger albums, The Cruel Sea, The Bluehouse, TISM, The Lucksmiths and an Indie 2000 double cd with a mix of Australian and international bands. I'm loving the Lucksmiths. They have a very DIY/C86 feel, reminding me in particular of Rodney Allen's 'Happy Sad', one of my favourite albums from that period.

If people don't mind a bit of old school punk this band are great. Amy the lead singer is totally manic.

Jimmy Barnes is, or at least was, the biggest name in Australian music, in Australia. Virtually unknown in the UK.

Australia pretty much invented the tribute act, on account of few wanting to go there to do a tour.

I remember going to an Oz pub in Earls Court in the early 90's, they were mad for "Barnzee", who the hell is this guy?

Empire of the Sun are probably best known for Walking on a Dream and We are the people, but always thought this should have got more attention.

They're fantastic live!

This is the loneliest song ever written.

I think The Church went to the UK but not sure if they charted with these absolute classics.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Struggling to pick any of these up on first listen. I think I realise why these were non-hits.
