I'm mad at australians...

How dare they keep a band like Midnight Oil all to themselves?!

it almost makes up for Kylie Minogue...

[DerickM 1]

a very serious case of white-boy dancing, but the music is pretty good. So far "Surf's up Tonight" is my fav.

Um... Midnight Oil was one of my fave bands in the 80's.... and I've never been to Australia.

[DerickM 1]

well then its your fault also

[travelgirl 3]

hahahaha!! I was planning on keeping them to myself....just to piss you off! LOL!

[DerickM 1]

well this meddling kid foiled your plan!

[travelgirl 3]

How did a young'un your age even hear of Midnight Oil?? I have a nephew almost that age and I doubt they're anywhere near his radar....

[DerickM 1]

[travelgirl 3]

Hey, Kylie is a hottie!!

If you like Midnight Oil, you've got to check out Blue Sky Mining...it's my favorite album from them:

You're just discovering them now? Peter Garrett is an old and crusty politician now, roflmao!

They were SERIOUSLY great. Especially before they really hit the big time and were a pub band.

Do me a favour and seek out Cold Chisel too. Might be harder, less successful in the US but a truly iconic Aussie band. I could never ever ever ever get sick of Chisels. Khe Sanh should be our national anthem.

[Jachut 487]

And I'm truly sorry about Kylie, lol. I dont know how she got out.

[travelgirl 3]

That's hysterical! I bet Peter Garrett makes a fine crusty old politician...

I dig Cold Chisel.... Haven't heard much from them, though. I'll have to do some searching later...

Augie March is a current Aussie band that is starting to gain some popularity back home and overseas. Their biggest selling single is 'One crowded hour'.

I remember being very young and very drunk and singing Khe Sanh at the top of my voice with some new found best friends on a flight from Sydney to LA. I am so glad I stopped drinking!!

Loved Midnight Oil in the 80's, didn't realize they were still making music.

Something new to look up!! Yea!!

Damn sometimes being in the USA we can be so sheltered from some really good talent. Ticks me off.

I'm mostly into

Europop/dance/trance/club kind of stuff which is REALLY hard to keep up on in the midwest where all your radio stations are country or rap.

One of my favorite bands atm is from Sweden is E-type E-type - official website

If it wasn't for the internet I would musicly starve to death.
