aussie music
There is some fantastic new music about in oz, a fair variation of stuff - well something for most of us I think, pete murray, eskimo joe, veronicas ( for my daughter but again, not bad) BUT they have some of the most god-awful music for the 70's- 80's!! Even the early INXS stuff is truly terrible.Bands with the most hilarious names,yes jimmy barnes I'm talking to you! but this morning I was unfortunate enough to see on Sunrise a snippet of whats in store for the poor b*****ds who have booked tickets for the 'Countdown' reunion tour (some 70's/80's sunday nite music showcase thing) Even my daughter who is 10 stopped in astonishment at how appalling it was, I think even koshie was just being kind to them when he applauded at the end. Did any of you guys see it?

Sorry, but I am an 80's Aussie girl and love the music from back then...
I guess it was just the times and its what you listened to back then. I look back at some of the American and UK 80's music and there were some equally bad music....
I would LOVE to be going to the Countdown concert but I just dont think its worth $160 per ticket to see a bunch of has-beens

Re: aussie music
Can't say the aussie music does much for me - but I'm more into dance than indie/guitar bollocks. Pretty good blend on triple J I find - rest of the time I have 20Gb of music on my MP3 player.

Re: aussie music
I love some of the old Aussie stuff, i was always a big Icehouse fan, i saw a video for one of their songs a few months back and couldn't believe whiat Iva Davies' hair was like. I guess its like everything else if the music fits with a memory you have then it will always make you smile.
FWIW Jimmy Barnes isn't actually Aussie, just never heard of anywhere but australia

I agree Hels being a 80's Kiwi boy
Even if the music is trashy i still love it. The more ACDC and Jimmy barnes the better. Prefer it to dancing around with a hanky on my head

Re: aussie music
I don't mind the Aussie music but I do get irritated that the radio stations keep playing the same 10 songs over and over again for weeks on end.
