Today's Australian - NZ playlist

[Sansui77]

Would love to know AK (members) around the world if they play any Australian - NZ music on their systems??

We've had some fantastic bands from the 60's, through to today's current music.

Yes I do but I'm a local. There's quite a bit that pops up now and again.

Interesting observation, hardly anyone on forum Stateside has heard of Powderfinger! I did a search and there's a mention in 2005 and not another one for 11 years.

There again, most Aussies couldn't name a Rush tune.

I listen to heaps of Australian music, but that's not surprising, being Australian.

Back in the 80s it was:
Midnight Oil
Hoodoo Gurus
Cold Chisel
INXS
Men at Work
Mondo Rock
Icehouse
Skyhooks

and I still listen to them.

Never was a Split Enz/Crowded House fan- the Finn brothers really s#$t me. Haha.

I love some of our Jazz greats too:

Tommy Emmanuel (guitar)
Grace Knight (former Eurogliders vocals- better jazz standard singer)
James Morrison
etc

Thanks local chaps but where's the rest of the world.........

Same as a few of the posts.
I'm a local Aussie and l have probably 800 to 1000 individual Aussie artists on Lp and quite a few more if l count the singles

I'm a Brit, living in NZ, who was listening to INXS earlier today. How's that for a cultural mix ??? '-)

 

[Tom Bavis]

Listened to Anne McCue the last few days - East of Electric, Ballad of an Outlaw Woman.

This NZ group Ticket , album Let sleeping dogs lie is one of the great albums I've heard.

[Dave59]

I’m an Aussie living in Texas and still listen to a lot of Aus and Kiwi music, can be a little slow getting new releases, but usually Amazon is your friend in those circumstances, some of those artists are:

Paul Kelly - he just played a gig in Dallas, which I heard about the day after, not happy
The Waifs
Jimmy Barnes
Neil Finn
Kasey Chambers
The Audries
Tex Perkins, The Cruels Sea, The Beasts of Bourbon (which is possibly the best band name ever!)
AC/DC

 

[thomo57]

The Johnnys

 

[qdrone]

Masters Apprentice is a band I dug back in the day. Their self titled album along with A Toast to Panama Red are excellent. These two recordings were way ahead of their times.
