Austrailian rock and roll

Thanks for the ideas. There are some really interesting groups here. I forgot to mention one artist who is an acquired taste for some people, but is a true original- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He has very dark lyrics, but I like his baritone voice. "Die Lazarus Die"  and "Murder Ballads" are both worth checking out. An off the run offering from Nick Cave is the soundtrack to the movie "Lawless" which is about Depression era bootleggers in KY. The album features Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Trees on a few songs as well as bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley and Emmylou Harris. They all get together and perform a great version of Lou Reed's "White Light/White Heat" which serves as background music for the bootleggers driving their Model T's trying to escape from the revenuers.

"Men at work...... Rock and roll?"

Men at Work had a big hit, Who Can it Be Now. Now, I wouldn't say it's hard rock but it probably is classified as rock and roll. Maybe pop rock would be more accurate. Or Southern rock.  Get it? Southern rock.

Men at work.....pop, pop rock or Reggae. IMHO

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...

Men At Work... an underrated band! "Business As Usual" sounds fantastic! "Down By The Sea" ... a great song! I try to infuse this lp into my normal listening.

geoffkait:, I'd suggest you re-listen, with an open mind.

How it will be classified is of no importance, IMO. Just re-listen!
