Silverchair
Midnight Oil

[St. Louis Hawk]

AC/DC - 1

INXS - 1A

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

1) Amyl and the Sniffers
2) AC/DC
3) The Saints (doing a better version of The Ramones at the same time)
4) INXS
5) The Chats

Yeah, that’s personal preference at #1, but Comfort To Me is more clever and consistent than any AC/DC album, and they are consistently releasing bangers for singles.

 

[bagdropper]

ACDC or INXS out of that list.

 

[hexumhawk]

AC/DC
INXS

Like some Silverchair and Men at Work but nowhere near the top level.

 

[h-hawk]

This song deserves to be better known IMO.

[millah_22]

Courtney Barnett's album "Sometimes I sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit" is really good. She's real loose with the guitar and her lyrics are pretty fun.

Midnight Oil, The Church and Crowded House. I do like some stuff from Nick Cave as well, but it’s hard to listen to for a long time. INXS as well.

Blue Sky Mining by Midnight Oil and Under the Milky Way are both incredible tunes.

If you’re going to include Kylie Minogue and Midnight Oil, then it’s only fair to include Icehouse.

 

[noleclone2]

The Church is my favorite band of any country.

They are supposed to be fantastic live. Not surprising as Amy is like Iggy Pop’s ADHD daughter:

LRB a distant 3.

Everything else can take a walkabout.

I am a fan of them. I picked up the self-titled album on vinyl. It’s a shame they weren’t more productive.

 

[Dauminator]

It's not all about success, and there's no way to really be objective about it - but AC/DC is so phenomenally huge there isn't an argument to make. You put them in their own category and rank the rest, which will be driven mostly by your style preferences. You can make the argument Minogue slots to #2 for the same reason.

Just going off personal taste I put Men at Work at the top. The Seekers were solid. Most the rest of what you listed are unknown to me, a one hit wonder whose hit wasn't even any good, or an actual joke.

 

[SolarHawk]

It’s AC/DC guys, and it’s not close. The rest are mid to terrible

 

[jellyfish10]

John Butler Trio
Mitchell Cullen
Tash Sultana

 

[hawkirugged17]

 

[Bulldogs1974]

AC/DC

yep
/thread
if you think ac/dc is too simplistic or they only do one thing then you are an musical douche. You probably think you are some savant because you can name a random tune off the b side of a bands 7th album no one listened to. Or you think nickleback is a shitty band because they were "sell outs" because they wrote pop music. Like people just write hit after hit because they want to.

[Bro D]

Silverchair

It was huge in the 70s, but probably forgotten today. Great song.
