Luke Steele should be shot.

 

[La Dispute]

Believe it or not Short Stack are indeed Australian.

 

[Ninty]

and I'd prefer to listen to them.

Worst band in Australia? Jesus I can think of plenty worse, you must have high standards.

That's a shithouse cover but I think they more than make up for it with tracks like these.

lovers is brilliant. personality to!

i dont really see that as a SJ song. more luke solo..but whatever.
keen for new sleepies sometime in 011.
Great live act]

I picked up both of their albums a while ago, and after listening to them both, I find him an incredibly annoying singer. This cover just made me realise how bad he is even more.

Empire of the Sun is probably worse though.

 

[Powerade 08]

wat.

How do you decide which crappy Aussie bands to like and which ones to hate?

You couldn't accuse them of being middle-of-the-road or boring though.

I've never been a huge fan either, but I'd rather listen to his music than many other Australian Alt-Rock contempories.

 

[KaLL]

Crime against Australian music.

 

[Deledinho]

Operator Please say hi.

Quite true, say what you like about The Sleepy Jackson and Luke Steele but at least he is prepared to go outside the square and do something different rather than just follow the crowd.

I've got Lovers and it's a quality album, has a couple of dud tracks but has some brilliant tracks as well. Much better than the usual safe commercialised dross that most current Australian bands put out.

Speaking of brilliant tracks.

it's naturally nowhere near as good as the original, but i don't mind the version of better be home soon. however it's nothing like the sleepy jackson i know and love that did 'lovers'. that's one of the best aussie albums of the last decade - good dancers, don't you know, rain falls for wind and vampire racecourse are all excellent tracks.

Correction: Greatest albums of all time

This Day
Rain Falls For Wind
Good Dancers

3 of the greats and they are on the same album, add in the rest which also holds up well - great album

 

[P.A.F.C]

Good Dancers is a classic track.

Gene Simmons did an absolutely horrific cover of Firestarter but I doubt anyone would judge KISS on that effort.

Good Dancers is classic, and puts them well out of the realm of crap aussie acts. That song alone guarantees them immunity on the grounds that Chocolate Starfish existed.

 

[Powerade 08]

To be honest it's much easier to count the good Australian albums of the last decade than it is to decide which is the worst.

No... I think horrific probably sums them up well.

 

[clogwearer]

No... I think horrific probably sums them up well.

I can't argue with your opinion, and yes I would have done it differently if I were pendulum...but I doubt you've heard the Firestarter cover.
