Favorite Aussie Music Act

[royalfan5]

I will go with the obvious choice and pick AC/DC with Men at Work and INXS within shouting distance.

ICEHOUSE:

[SoonerStormchaser]

oh...and Midnight Oil

[Harry Beanbag]

Ah, I forgot about Icehouse. That guy has one of the greatest mullets of all time.

[BigRedJed]

You've obviously never seen the one that I had circa 1987.

[SoonerStormchaser]

And who could forget Kylie...

No I haven't, but I did say "one of the greatest".

[Okla-homey]

You forgot the Bee Gee's. They were huge in their day, and despite the critical role they played in the rise of the disco genre, those three brothers sang with the tightest three-part harmony ever recorded.

Give a listen to "How Can a Loser Ever Win" or "Massachusetts."

[SoonerStormchaser]

Umm...weren't they from the Isle of Man?

edit: disregard sir, I didn't know they emigrated to Oz in the late 50's

As I recall, they were British born, but they immigrated to Oz with their fam as kids. At any rate, they hit the pop music scene from Australia.

[soonerscuba]

AC/DC.

Jet ain't bad though.

[bluedogok]

ICEHOUSE:
A favorite of mine as well.....

[Curly Bill]

AC/DC should dominate this poll!

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

What, no Natalie Inbruglia?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

If I voted for a band I would say INXS!

[Boomer.....]

I used to love the song Down Under by Men at Work.

[Howzit]

Johnathon Butler Trio

[King Crimson]

[ousoonerfan]

I saw INXS with Ziggy Marley in 1988. Great show!




Holy ****, that was 20 years ago! Man I'm getting old.:D

Well, now you're just making **** up.

[Howzit]

The Turdsocks

[Howzit]

Might 'O Kondria

[frankensooner]

The Didgeridoo Seven

Warumpi Band

[IB4OU2]

Write In-

The girls from "Prissilla Queen of the Desert" movie. They do some great ABBA songs. :D

[King Crimson]

Well, now you're just making **** up.

look em up.

[frankensooner]

The Turdsocks

I believe that is The Purple Turdsocks.

[tbl]

AC/DC should be clearcut on this one, regardless of your opinion (I don't think that makes sense).

I was watching their concert in Madrid from I believe 98 and it was amazing. It's nuts how much Angus can take over an audience, plus any dude that can wail on a solo while literally running full speed should automatically be voted greatest Aussie ever.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

BeeGees #1, then a tie with Little River Band and Men at Work.

[Frozen Sooner]

How about Colin Hay's solo work?

[King Crimson]

where's wolfmother, you honks?

chriminy, this was a top 20 list on yahoo!....the other day. you guys are being played by the poll-maker.

little surprised by midnight oil getting zero love.


1. Birthday Party
2. AC/DC: nothing after those about to rock
3. hoodoos (they got american kitsch before we did)
4. INXS: listen like thieves and shoobah are still good ones.

[Frozen Sooner]

How about Barbie Shrimp Drongo?

Those guys skeeried the wonga!

[King Crimson]

spek to Bill Favor about the LRB, i didn't know they waz Aussie

[BigRedJed]

AC/DC should be clearcut on this one, regardless of your opinion (I don't think that makes sense)...
The poll doesn't ask for the most popular Aussie music act, or the best Aussie music act. In this case, for me at least, AC/DC is not my favorite of all the choices. And I love AC/DC as much as the next guy.

[BigRedJed]

...little surprised by midnight oil getting zero love...
I guess my single vote came up as invisible in your browser?

[SoonerProphet]

Nick Cave and the Badseeds. I know The Birthday Party is here...but.

[froneal]

Crowded House!

[King Crimson]

[SleestakSooner]

How can you leave Crowded House off the list? Just like The Nixons are from Oklahoma but claim Dallas as their base, Crowded House was mostly from New Zealand but claimed Melbourne as home...

AC/DC = the most overrated band ever lead by a fudge packer

Crowded House isn't even as good as Orchestral Maneouvers in the Dark hence not on the list.

Three pages and no one's gawking at Kylie's hawtness...you're all ghey!
