Oh, I see! Me reporting your blatantly unreasonable conduct is childish but there's nothing whatosever immature about you doing it in the first place?!

You may as well just say ''yes, I am a hypocritical moron''.

kporte

I have never at any point on this forum claimed to be mature or intelligent. I flatly refute any claims by others that this may be the case.

Vash the Stampede

Sure, go right ahead.

I didn't claim you wrote it. In fact, I explicitly claimed that I'd "fixed" it.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kporte again."

When are some of you going to realise that it doesn't actually matter two hoots what the nationality of the band is as long as the music is good?

kporte

Even the militant jocks on here like English music

willamos

If Australia has produced so much great music then why do they try and claim bands like the Bee Gees and Crowded House as their own?

Cold Chisel consisted of Brits as well as Aussies too. I think the drummer who wrote their best track (when the war is over) is from Liverpool.

Pollyana

I'm currently treating the neighbours to a very out-of-tune rendition of Floyd's The Wall, and I wouldn't care if they were aliens for the Planet Zog, the music is stunning

kporte

Britain, and in particular England, has produced some stunning music over the last 40 years.
As for a tip, If you have never listened to Elbow, try them out. Like Crowded House they may take a few listens....

willamos

Still interested to have ideas proposed as to why the same can't be said for Australia.

kporte

I gave my opinion in post 97.

Pollyana

Has it really??

OK, I'll give them a go, always open to something new.....

willamos

Elbow are good but not one of England's best bands in my view.

The Seldom Seen Kid is a little overrated. One Day Like This has been a big, big hit and used in lots of TV in the UK. As a result of that the album has been elevated above its actual merit, I think.

kporte

Actually I think it is a simple as, the UK and the USA has produced such a steady stream of quality over the years that any other country's output seems weak.

The Wiggles
They have earned seventeen gold, twelve platinum, three double-platinum, and ten multi-platinum awards

Aiming for a more discerning audience !!!!

Haven't read the thread, sorry if this has already been said. It depends what sort of music you're talking about - some of the most influential acts on the dance scene are Australian. And there are several hip-hop acts in this country who are hugely under-rated. As for rock music - I couldn't give a shit - I prefer music that progresses.
