Yeah - I always remember him hating them. I was jokingly hoping they'd make the list at 10 if he couldn't think of 10 bands he actually liked.

There used to be a really great documentary on (primarily post-punk) Australian bands on Youtube, but I don't believe the entire doc. is there any more. If anyone's interested, here's part 1 and 2:

Plenty of foxy Nick Cave footage in part 2, at least!

I think they're just trying to let you guys down gently...

"Hey! There's loads of other great bands on your doorstep! Why not listen to them and forget about us?"

Midnight Oil are a great band I have all of their albums. The 2 best early albums are 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and Red Sails in the Sunset. After Diesel and Dust they became more popular overseas so I guess most people here would be more familiar with those ones.

For anyone interested Peter Garrett (lead singer and lyricist) is now minister for the environment, heritage and the arts in the Rudd government.

There are many other great bands here I was just wondering if Powderfinger are at all popular overseas?

They can keep Split Ends though...
We'll keep Split Enz, thanks. And the talented one from Crowded House. You can have Russell Crowe (or Russ Le Roq as he was known when he WAS a New Zealander!)

Is Russel Crowe a Kiwi?

The Kiwis do have Flight Of The Conchords and Ladyhawke, but that's set against The Datsuns and Daniel Bedingfield.

Rock on Kiri Te Kanawa!

I'm only familiar with Midnight Oil as Hot Water Music covered Dreamworld - I like their version but I've not listened to the original so I can't tell you if they've done it justice or not.

My favourite Hot Water Music song also starts with the line "I need a Remedy of Diesel and Dust" which must be another tip of the hat to them.

Here is the original... what do you think?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1mO_RbTthU

This song (Power and the Passion) is from 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
