I did too, great atmosphere seeing them live but Brownys voice is like pulling a chair back on a tiled floor.

He’s always sat down. But apparently he’s a star.

I think that Rolf Harris must be one of Australias biggest selling recording artists ever?

posted on 2/3/25

Is this just bands or can solo artists be included? If so:

Rolling Stones
The Smiths
The Who
Radiohead
Bowie

So many to choose from - I also love Stone Roses, Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Blur…

There were some great Aussie bands back in my backpacking days.

Midnight Oil
Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel
INXS

Plus loads more that didn't really get the global exposure of INXS.

Midnight Oil?! They’re bloody awful! Pete Garrett sounds like he’s gargling Fairy Liquid and gravel at the same time. He was a better politician than a singer. And all their songs are virtue signalling nonsense.

I think they caught the zeitgeist of the late 80s/early 90s.

Some of their stuff is even more relevant today

Why do The Stone Roses always enter conversations like these?

They had 1 quality album and that’s it. Their second album was poorly received and they’re notoriously shiyte live.

Also haven’t released an album for about 30 year!

That album might be one of the best British albums ever made. That's why.

When I think of what music represents town best it's not Oasis, or the Mondays, New Order or The Smiths. It's the opening few bars or Adored, Waterfall, Resurrection, Sally Cinnamon etc. Always has been and always will be.

Second Coming was a very good album too as a stand alone piece of work. The reason it suffered was because the one that came before it was perfect and it was never going to live up that I'm afraid.
