The Greatest Aussie Band of All Time?
October 28th 2010 23:04
Recently radio and press have been arguing the virtues of the top 100 Aussie albums of all time - with just about everything from Living in the 70s by Skyhooks through to Back in Black from ACDC making the grade.
But what of the bands themselves?
Sure ACDC and Skyhooks deserve their place as iconic Aussie bands but who else needs to be considered in the hall of fame?
Midnight Oil, The Easybeats, The Angels, INXS?
How about the Radiators, The Bee Gees or Silverchair?
Does Crowded House count given they have a Kiwi frontman?
Would Wolfmother, Jet or Powderfinger make your top 5?
What says you . . .?

Sorry - couldn't help myself with this old quip.
Think all four are great! Used to follow The Angels, Radiators and Mi-Sex on the pub scene in my foolhardy youth - how time flies

I don't know if we can really count AC/DC as Australian anymore. They all have british accents and have lived in the UK for the past 25 years. Midnight Oil for me, and I hate to say it, were overrated. The political message was great but Garrett cannot sing (or dance or be a politician)
My first and last choices are purely self indulgent but the other three bands have had a huge impact on the local music industry and INXS internationally. For that alone they deserve recognition of being great Aussie rock bands.
