Your top 10 Australian Entertainers/Artists

[Frank Thring]

We have had some amazing entertainers/artists throughout our history, and I am interested in seeing who are your top 10 ever. They can be actors, comedians, singers, bands, TV hosts etc. Basically front of camera artists, so not including painters, directors, writers, producers etc.

My top 10

1 Barry Humphries
2. AC/DC
3. Olivia Newton John
4. Dame Nellie Melba
5. Cate Blanchett
6. Dame Joan Sutherland
7. Graeme Kennedy
8. Mel Gibson
9. Errol Flynn
10. Paul Hogan

This was very hard to do as I am sure I have missed some.

Edit: I have purposely left myself off.

Haven’t left us much room to differ Frank

I’d probably throw in Hutchence

Fair enough I wouldn’t have him in there either but he was a helluva entertainer. I guess we can claim Mel ( if we really want to!). I believe his family came out here from the US when he was about 12 but went to NIDA, did his formative acting here and made his first films here before heading to Hollywood.
