Flash and the Pan. Fronted by George Young, who is the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young. They had a unique New Wave sound and the lyrics are more towards social and political commentary, as compared to the banal lyrics of AC/DC.
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.
