I didn't submit a list for death pool. But i would put any of this guys on top of the list. They have to have a mountain of cash, can't believe they still making new music.

Hal, did you ever hear the band Jet? I think this song got pretty good airtime worldwide. I was like 16 when it came out and my first girlfriend used to play it for me which was a welcome change from her Nirvana obsession
I always liked this song the best it sounds like some AC/DC tribute band from the pub
it was almost incredible they were able to record another album. the singer was almost deaf, he had a new top of tge line hearing aid made. (they were touring with Axl Rose before) one of the members had been in jail, I think it was the drummer. haven't heard the new album yet
Hound those Men At Work songs sound great, I'll see what I can get my hands on. I knew OF Jet but I'd never actually heard them. Good stuff
Full disclosure and this is gonna make me look really stupid but I didn't know Nick Cave is an Aussie.
Welcome back Hound! Hope life's been treating you well.
Speaking of Nick Cave, I used to thrash the shit out of the Batman Forever casette and one of my favourite songs as a kid was this one, hadn't heard this album in about 20 years so didn't even realise I was digging Nick Cave as a kid
I've been digging a Sydney based band from the 1980s called The Church, I keep reading that they're a psychedelic band but nothing I've heard so far sounds psychedelic they just sound like 80s Australian rock to me but I still like it
I bought a shitload of Nick Cave in April & May. the last three albums or so are slow and hypnotic, with the electronica and violin. I enjoy his earlier ballads too, still getting into his punkier start and his rockers
I only knew The Church from Under The Milky Way until last year or so
I’ve only listened to the album with The Bad Seeds “From Her To Eternity” which is some weird shit lol
took me a while to appreciate it. I’ve heard individual songs here and there but haven’t been committed enough to jump in, I feel like I need to listen to him in short spurts
Nick Cave is god. I don't fuck with his early shit, but pretty much everything from 'Let Love In' onwards is fantastic.
Hound, do u know the Aussie 70's group, 'Band of Light'? They had 2 albums. The first album, 'Total Union' is great.
I don't listen to a lot of Aussie music tbh. I mean I love a bit of pub rock like Chisel, the Oils, Angels, Screaming Jets n all that, n I've listened to a lot of full albums n shit. But it's never been stuff I listened to with regularity or got to know well.
One album from my childhood, like right back to probably my first musical interest when I was probably under 10, is the Johnny Diesel and the Injectors album. I still really dig that shit. His first solo album was good too.
I saw Ian Moss's acoustic show a few years ago too, n it was absolutely fucking awesome. I had a really good seat too.
Never heard of Band of Light but i'll check that album out. I'll have to listen to Nick Cave from that album onwards as well.
I haven't listened to a lot of Aussie music either besides stuff from the 90s and the obvious stuff like AC/DC and all that, a lot of what I heard and is considered the best is the 1980s rock which has a real....weak sound for my taste and I don't listen to pop and punk so that's a ton of Australian stuff I am not listening to. I've been meaning to dig in to Tame Impala lately, I started on King Gizzard a few months ago and they're alright so far but that was only one album. I dig The Chats though and smoked weed with the singer at a pub in Enmore after a gig lol
I stumbled on a record shop in Melbourne that sells some weird shit I think it's all independent Australian artists and was listening to a band called Low Life, the record shop gives a 13 step detailed guide on 'how to listen to the album' lol they're very dedicated
I don't even know what it is but I kind of like it on first listen
that's both hilarious and endearing. probably a great record shopQuote:

Damn that sucks The Tatts weren't good on stage, I heard great things about them from my dad about their live shows in the 70s and 80s. I am surprised they are still touring tbh I thought they'd be done by now.
Lol, I too have fucked my right foot and been chilling at home for 2 weeks on compo, I'm on comp so leave me alone
Great band, I smoked weed with the singer at the pub after a gig once really chill guy
An older god (not that old tho) who used to come into the bottle shop all the thyme (alcoholic, died last year in I think his 50's) used to be really into Aussie music. Him n I talked music all the thyme n he'd bring in cd's n books n shit for me to listen to/read.
He loaned me a Cosmic Psychos cd n also a The Saints cd. It's early Aussie punk rock. Pretty cool from what I remember. I knew the Cosmic Psychos from my early teens, as they had a song in an old (American) skate video I had. I'd never heard them beyond that tho.
I don't want to give too much shine to Kiwis but Dragon were great and Speak No Evil is a fucking banger, they made enough of their career in Australia to rate a mention here
Another great song asking the important question
Those Dragon tracks are smokin'
agree on "the important question" lol
Great Australian DJ

Is the hound banned? Never knew, why so?
No he's not banned. He added that to his profile some time back.
