Also...to those with the AC/DC Iron Man II album...is it worth getting? I do not own any other AC/DC album (although I hear them all the time on the radio...).

No it isn't! Go and buy "Powerage" or "If you want blood".And listen to the real AC/DC.

But I thought this was some kind of compilation?

I've listened to plenty of AC/DC. The airwaves are saturated with them here.

They're from Bondi.

Australia actually has a very strong music scene actually. Well, if you have good taste in music anyway...

Karnivool, Cog, Sugar Army, Sleep Parade, The Butterfly Effect, Gyroscope, Dead Letter Circus...

Or if you're a bit more mainstream and "sheep-like" there's always the likes of Wolfmother and Powderfinger.

I thought you liked AC/DC Rebel? They're "Aussie"...

Or have you listened to Australian Crawl? Another older Aussie band.

i do like ac/dc
the old stuff .

im getting more mellow in my old age where music is concerned ram and have gone a wee bit mainstream,

I quite liked Overkill and Blue for You by Men at Work...

Mellow does not equal mainstream though...

Have you listened to Porcupine Tree? Not an Aussie band but a brilliant one.

Listen to Australian Crawl though, you may like them. I do. And they get plenty of mainstream airplay. Not sure when exactly they were around but certainly long before my time.

will do
and not to be too harsh on aussie bands but i really like midnight oil, you might be too young for them

I like Midnight Oil!

Would it worry you to know that their ex-singer is now a politician though...

Trust me I think you'll like Australian Crawl. Listen to "Errol", "The Boys Light Up" and "Reckless". Very good songs.

Airbourne are a good aussie band, very much like ACDC. Jet are Ok 1st album was good.

I've been of the opinion that Airbourne are just wankers trying to ride on the AC/DC bandwagon. They're essentially a cover band...

You could be right but it fills the gap though.

Gap?

If there's a gap it should be filled by bands with talent.

Anyone like pop punk?
