Thanks guys, I can occupy myself for the next week or so listening to these!

 

Some I already know, like obviously Eskimo Joe, but also JET, Powderfinger, The Temper Trap and Empire of the Sun. But I know that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's still so much to catch up on! *runs to YouTube* :escaping:

but its not just the local scene im talking about. look at the current charts. in the top 10 right now you have david guetta akon black eyed piss (or is it peas not sure) cascada jay z and rhianna. and the highest charting aussies are guy sebastian and jessica mauboy. rock is almost no where to be seen. the highest ranking legit rock song is She's a Genius by Jet at 25.

 

i dont want to ruin the positive vibe of this thread. but i have to get this out there. i am ashamed to live in a country where a 'thing' like Pink is able to go 9 times platinum while a truly brilliant local talent like Sarah Blasko can only go Gold. its a f$)#ing disgrace.

 

I know what you mean. It pisses me off as well. Its all just shit. Just as aside, what do you think of Kate Millar-Heike?

re: miller heidke i remember the kinda weird song she did about 3 years ago that was popular cant say ive heard much of her since. what has she changed to suddenly become so commercially viable.

 

the albums charts at the moment are pretty ok. muse, pearl jam, barnsey and farnsey arent too bad.

 

i looked up the pommy (the english for the non aussies reading this) charts expecting a very impressive top 10 but aside from falling in love with Sweet Disposition a good 12 months after it became popular here, its just as bad as ours.
