He is interesting, isn't he. I enjoy Men at Work, quite a bit.
theres tons of good Aussie bands - alot have been mentioned.
Alls I will put is:
Bluebottle Kiss: They've been making great albums for over a decade now, and are extremely underrated. They've also just released another album (double album) which is great. This is really by no way an indication of the album, but the sticker on the case of the album reads: "Australia's most adventurous guitar bands evoke the spirit of Tom Waits, Neil Young, Coltrane, Sonic Youth and more..." I mean, the music is tinges of all them greats in there, but it only tinges of each.

Also, another band related to Bbk, is the Devoted Few. Great band also.

You Am I: They've just released another album titled "Convicts", and it's awesome. They have a really great back catalogue, too, which I greatly suggest checking out.
