From the 70's and 80's with AC/DC, Midnight Oil, The Angels, Cold Chisel, Split Enz, Hunters and Collectors through to the top Aussie rock bands of today, Wolfmother, Silverchair, Grinspoon and The Living End. I reckon we get spoilt rotten here in Oz.

Frikken amazing bands !
Both rock harder live than any of the bands in your list
Except for AC/DC!
Yes! You Am I are brilliant live
I can remember Michael Hutchence being a skinny pimply faced young thing and also vaguely remember Cold Chisel back when Jimmy Barnes was a big alcoholic. I remember him being so drunk one night he pulled his pants down on stage... :eek:
Pearl Jam - Adelaide: 1995, 1998, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014
Eddie Vedder Solo - Adelaide: 27th & 28th March 2011, Melbourne 16th 2014
That's it keep 'em coming. When ya see them. Do tell!!
Sorry mate they don't. If you think that they are boring I recommend seeing them live as they are easily on par with Pearl Jam. I do wish that they would be a bit more experimental though.
i too remember a very young michael hutchence pulling off his jim morrison moves. actually come to think of it i was underage. ahh the good old days.
i used to have a big love for the Angels.
bands that kick my arse every time i see them: grinspoon, cog, the butterfly effect, dallas crane, the aforementioned YOU AM I, the fumes, the drones, the mess hall. used to love seeing peabody but they seem to have disappeared. saw dan kelly and the alpha males for the first time last friday. will be seeing them again for sure.
has anyone seen six foot hick? they have to be witnessed at least once. there was self flagellation, setting on fire of chest hair, dancing along the bar at the annandale and other general idiocy.
take a good look

Yeah it was cool. I walked past Peter Garrett once. He is so very, very tall.
if u live in perth ull be able to see some old mother fuckers rocking out here - http://bonscottconcert.com.au/index.html
cant wait
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
i remember being covered in peter garrett sweat on more than one occasion. those close enough to the action could have if so desired, cloned a little peter garrett of their own. hot, frenetic, dealing with boozy aussie blokes, knowing you were getting the show of your life every time you saw them. so much better than these days of political correctness, litigation and over zealous 'security guards'.
oh and rob hirst. the best drummer in any universe.

That guy was amazing! Hell, the entire band was f**king incredible. I only got to see them once back in 1993, but it still stands as one of the single greatest rock shows I've ever seen. They were co-headlining with The Tragically Hip across Canada on the Another Roadside Attraction Tour, and my friends and I were lucky enough to see the show in Calgary. I remember reading an interview with the Hip's Gord Downie where he mentioned that having to go on after Midnight Oil was a huge challenge for them and it was like being kicked in the ass every night.
