The obvious one for me is Crowded house.

But there have been some great bands from "down under" like Men at work.

Still think it's strange that when it comes to Down Under bands some people immediately think of Crowded House and Men At Work when neither sold anything like the number of records that AC/DC shipped.

I don't think sales are necessarily a good measure of 'quality' for me. By that measure you'd have mention Jason Donovan, Kylie, Savage Garden, Delta Goodrum, Rolf, etc.

I'm not saying ACDC aren't a great band, just that more sales don't always equal 'great', but you are right that Angus and co are often over looked.

Personally I liked Split Enz - which partly feeds into Crowded House and then Finn, etc.

Crowded House. So great. 'When you come' is my current favourite.

I'm from India, I've seen them live. Pentagram are a decent live band and they a few decent songs but I suppose its not my style really. Parikrama are fucking dreadful. They've been going on the back of that song called "but it rained" for god knows how long now. A bunch of dinosaurs. You would think they are a very average 70's hair metal band on a reunion tour.

There's some great disco and jazz influenced stuff coming out of Melbourne right now.

First up, Krakatau with a two song album they released last year. They look like a thrash metal band, but sound like "Summer Madness" era Kool and The Gang!

I'm not a big festival guy, but I've gotten lucky with few I've gone to. First one was Livid in 98 which had Public Enemy, Pulp, Sonic Youth, Regurgitator, The Living End, The Dandy Warhols, Money Mark, The Whitlams, Grinspoon, Jebediah, Custard + the rest.
