Sounds harsh on the former Shadow Minister for the Environments musical aptitudeMidnight Oil are s**t.
Pretty silly arguing over who is better out of the Oils and the Hunners as they aren't even in my top 5 Aussie bands.
My top 5 for the record.
1. The Church
2. Divinyls
3. The Panics
4. GANGgajang
5. Faker
Hard to break into that line up.
That was thanks to them being banned from performing in the U.S between 1965-69. It had nothing to do with any lack of quality in their music. The Who never had a big U.S bit in that era either but made up for it with constant touring and then Woodstock and Tommy.The Kinks missed out on the US market to a huge degree which limited them and I think was what stopped them reaching the heights of The Beatles/Stones
The greatest pop song ever written.
Im not knocking The Kinks, I was only disagreeing with them being "far superior musically" to the bloody Beatles.That was thanks to them being banned from performing in the U.S between 1965-69.

The Kinks '60's catalogue stands up very well next to any of their contemporaries.
Your taste is s**t.Midnight Oil are s**t.
That's what you think.I adore the Kinks but I think calling them 'far superior' musically to The Beatles is just plain wrong.

You cannot defend Meatloaf for his performance. If you didn't know better you'd think they pulled some fat, alcoholic, cerebral palsy afflicted person from the crowd and gave him a microphone whereupon he decided to have a massive stroke whilst simultaneously 'singing' and trying to squeeze the world's largest turd from his arse. (The back up singing was fine; he should've taken his key from the dark haired bird.)
The following week Lionel Richie was great at short notice and I say that as someone who is not even a fan of his.
1. Midnight Oil
2. You Am I
3. INXS
4. Men At Work
5. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I'll give this a bash, for me;
1. INXS
2. Icehouse Harvey Manfrenjensenden
3. Crowded House (formed in Melbourne )
4. AC/DC
5. Cold Chisel
They were formed in Melbourne so I'm claiming them.Meatloaf performed (if you can call it that) at the the 2011 GF, Lionel Richie performed at the 2010 Replay, was all downhill from there for Saints fans.
Agree that the female back up singer for Meatloaf was pretty good, she saved that performance from being an even bigger trainwreck, he should have just shut up and let her take over.
You Am I and INXS would be in the mix for my Top 5 as well, I like Men At Work too, not a big fan of Nick Cave though, he'd be lucky to make my top 50.
I'd have Crowded House in my Top 5 NZ bands.
They were formed in Melbourne so I'm claiming them.
We're talking about bands per-se not solo artists aren't we?Neil Finn was formed in NZ, without him they would just be a run of the mill pub cover band.

Jimmy Barnes was born in Glasgow too.
What about Eurogliders? Grace Knight's musical career didn't begin in Australia.Colin Hay and Bon Scott were also born in Scotland along with Angus and Malcolm Young and their older brother George Young from The Easybeats.
Unlike Neil Finn they all started their music careers in Australia though.
Your taste is s**t.

'I like that NZ band called Fleetwood Mac
That's the joke.gifYou hate Elton. My irony metre just broke.
