Australians make the worst music in the world. Even worse than Mexican rap…well, not that bad.

fuck off dude, come over here, see some
REAL bands and say that again to my face

Jake, you must be Americam, so don’t even start me on all the over produced/hyped shit your country pumps out every year.

Hi Jake, you tool. Im an Aussie and I would have to say that your comment is really ignorant. Australia has plenty of great bands. You just probably havent heard of them. The Sleepy Jackson, Dallas Crane, The Grates, The Vines, Gyroscope, The Drones, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Saints, Radio Birdman, AC/DC !!!!, Wolfmother, Early INXS with Michael Hutchenes, you know the list goes on. So next time think before you speak.

I totally agree with Jack!

Obviously, Jake hasn’t even touched the surface of any kind of Aussie music.

Don’t forget about Silverchair, Paul Kelly, The Badloves, Taxiride, Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel, XTC, Crowded House and Midnight Oil…to name a few more!

Oh…the list goes on!

yeah jake ur a fat coight i hope ur family dies of aids

Crowded House are from NZ…

Yup! And Midnight Oil sucks, so get them out of that list

Jake, mate, thats such an american thing to say. Hope you are having fun there in your little bubble enjoying all ur hip hop over there in America, in other countries ( yes, there are other countries other then the US) we make music called rock, and we are bloody good at it too. So mate, next time you wanna cop out on Australian music think to yourself, who would you raher be from your country, the GRates or the Dixie, Chicks, I rest my case.

XTC are from Swindon in England there, DK!

Id just like to add to my earlier post that anybody outside of Australia should really check some of these great bands out. I know you would have heard of a few of them (AC/DC Duhhhh!!), but get onto some of the smaller ones, like Dallas Crane, who have a new album out soon, or Gyroscope, a great little band from my home town, Perth. They really f@#$ing rock, and you wont be dissapointed. Go the Aussie Music!!

Australians smell like kangaroo turds.

I was at the Bowery show as well, and thanks to a industry friend got to not only see The Grates live but hang out with them afterward. I chatted it up with John (guitarist) about beer and life and even caught some the Dears set with Patience. She was lovely, humble and just fun to be around. Consider me a fan. Science is Golden is on a loop at work…

Don’t forget Rick Springfield. Go easy on the aussie’s.

JUST thought I’d let everyone know- I’m BRITISH!! What do you think of that?? So trust me, I think I know a thing or two about music.

One more thing- anyone who has to mention AC/DC as one of their countries top bands kind of proves my point, wouldn’t you say?

And nice try on XTC, lol.

I’m American, but I wish I was Australian.

Since Australians are just descendants of criminals, I thnk it would be a great idea to send all of our incarcerated garbage over to that shithole country so they can be with their own kind.

Whoa, jeez, at least I didn’t go that far, man, lol. Let’s keep this about music, shall we?

Hey, dudes let’s not fight… At least there is one band we can all agree on –
WOLVES OF FLATBUSH..
Thank you very much

Hey BIT I’ll pay for your plane ticket.

hey I’m american i would like to say pleez americans stop being ignorant assholes……..its not bad enough everyone hates us as is. But being so high and mighty makes it worse. Australia and England are countries were good american rock is actually liked. Kings of leon and black keys don’t sell out here, let alone even being known. As for australian bands i haven’t heard much but its not as bad as brintey spears!

And dont forget, a favorite from my college days – hoodoo gurus

I wonder why no one is risking their lives to get in Australia.

the divinyls are australian

you sure are an enculturated bunch, well done on your xenophobia!! ‘OMg, suPer!’
do you by any chance listen nickleback or creed. i assume you do or some other lame bogan rock your country produces at high levels.

austrlia does have some bad music but not even half as much as you priduce over in amercia so we are lucky.

to be honest, talent is pretty much blind to nationality.

that said, let’s not forget that americans are the fattest, most illiterate and filthiest (we’re talking pollution, of course) breed of human on the planet. i would suggest that you, dear jake/fuck aussies/whoever, consider and re-consider your dead shit blanket statements regarding australians as a group of people. statistically, america and england are at the top of the shitlist.

as for music, EAT A DICK. australian bands like sixfthick, custard, the bad seeds, you am i etc. shit all over your post-modern indie wank based on bourgeois hostility and a general sense of finger-in-anus unfairness.

amid the sea of talentless, soulless synth tunes your respective countries spit out, there are gems. but that is true for all nations, and as such this is the most ridiculous argument i’ve ever seen, and your irrelevant arrogance is entirely misplaced.

to conclude, the grates are fucking great, even if patience is starting to meld her identity with karen o’s.

I’m Aussie and I’ll concede that the Grates are mediocre. If they put half as much effort into their actual songwriting as they did into “having fun” and coming up with “wacky” videos, outfits and live shows, then maybe they’d be, you know, good and stuff. And it’s true, Australia has very few exceptional bands.

the grates fuckin rock!

Australia has produced a lot of top indie bands ie TISM, the Living End, Gyroscope but so has America (Dresden Dolls & Interpol) so you cant say american music is bad. You can say the majority of it is but for 50 stupid rap songs made 1 good, quality american song is made, and the english music has gone downhill since the WHO and The Rolling Stones stopped making new songs.

yes I can tell the future.

Can you tell the future?
