Austrailian rock and roll


The recent "Obscure bands" discussion inspired me to bring up another sub-genre because many of the responses mentioned a few of these groups. Who are your favorite Australian rock and roll bands? Let's be specific and mention favorite individual albums.
A few bands from down under:
AC/DC
Crowded House
the Church
Hoodoo Gurus
Hunters and Collectors (Mark Seymour solo works)
Powderfinger
Wolfmother

My favorites from this group are the Hoodoo's first 2 albums "Stoneage Romeos" and "Mars Needs Guitars"
I also really enjoy Hunters and Collectors "Human Frailty and "Under One Roof". Gotta love a band with a full time French horn player that still shakes the rafters. Every now and then it is fun to crank it up a little. The Aussies know how to rock.

Maxnewid i agree...Cave is a God and category for it self...his every album is worth to check out...although not exactly pure rock...
AC/DC and rest are ok...but to me best Aussie band by far is "The Cruel Sea"....their "This is not the way home" & "Honeymoon is Over" albums are masterpieces of Indie Rock music...also nice recorded...
