Matt- Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel) was born in your homeland, Scotland. I’ve been wanting you to react to his tribute song Loch Lomond which he sang for fellow Scot and Aussie chef Jock Zonfrillo who passed away last year. I think you’ll enjoy it.
So so many fantastic bands in the Early 70,s - for a start - Billy Thorpe and Aztecs , Chain , Daddy Cool , Spectrum , MacKenzie Theory , Tamam Shud , Carson and many more
I'm not big on rankings but when i think of Aussie bands, these are some that come to mind: Regurgitator, 28 Days, The Living End, Grinspoon, TISM, The Superjesus, Jebediah, Silverchair, Spiderbait, Frenzal Rhomb, Killing Heidi, Magic Dirt, Gerling, Bodyjar
yup, and that's why lists are subjective. You have a lot of great bands on your list, but it's personal taste and there has to be a measure of success attached to it. On a side note, all the bands you have listed I know, except for Magic Dirt. May I ask you for a link to your favourite song of theirs?
Not a bad list, wild that The Living End and The Angels are so low - both are top 10 worthy. My top 5: 1. Cold Chisel 2. AC/DC 3. Midnight Oil 4. INXS 5. Silverchair
It’s all subjective, but my number 1 is Cold Chisel, followed by INXS. I think The Easybeats were for first band to really get pub rock success with their own songs. This band included Stevie Wright as lead singer with Harry Vanda and George Young (older brother of Angus and Malcolm Young of AC/DC). Then AC/DC themselves and the following bands in no special order- Divinyls Men At Work Midnight Oil Australian Crawl Goanna Little River Band Bee Gees (they were growing up in Oz when they got on TV and formed with their name) Mental As Anything Air Supply Angels Silverchair Powderfinger Crowded house Jet Wolfmother Spiderbait Hoodoo Gurus Rose Tattoo The Black Sorrows Birds of Tokyo 1927 Pseudo Echo Big Pig Savage Garden Johnny Diesel and the Injectors Seekers Sherbert Skyhooks The Masters Apprentices Axiom Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs. Zoot Baby Animals You am I Eskimo Joe Killing Heidi 🎉🎉🎉🎉
During the 70's to 90's music acts started by playing live in pubs and clubs. Bad acts folded quickly and good acts developed a strong catalogue of songs the crowds liked. The built a following and then got a record deal. The record companies recorded the same sound that got them there. It's why most Aussie acts sound the same live as they do on an album. That's Aussie pub rock. Imagine going to the pub on any weekend and seeing the acts on this list. We were truly blessed 🇭🇲
Each Aussie's faves will depend on their tastes and generation, but mine would be: Cold Chisel, AC/DC when Bon Scott was alive, Australian Crawl, Icehouse, and any band featuring the multi-talented Joe Camilleri. Little River Band, Hoodoo Gurus, INXS, Mental As Anything, Midnight Oil & Angels were also amazing 😊 Then there are the Kiwi artists who made it big in Oz: Dragon, Mi Sex, Split Enz, Sharon O'Neill, Jenny Morris etc. So many for you to check out! Hope you feel better soon 🥵
This was a very thoughtful list, and as you said, all lists are subjective. It was quite rock band heavy, so it missed an obvious band for me to be included, but I know they didn't really write many sing-along songs, but the songs they wrote were either fun songs, or lyrically powerful. I am of course talking about the highly underrated Redgum. Oh, and The Sex Pistols are widely credited with 'creating' Punk music, but The Saints were out recording music before the Pistols were formed. Just ask Sir Bob Geldof what he thinks of The Saints. So, I probably would have placed them higher up in the list. However, overall, you can make a strong case for the bands he included. This was a good reaction video, to a really good video that you reacted to. Thankyou.
real music history doesn't give sex pistols that accolade, I used to think we were more the origins but recently learned that punk started way before the 70s, just hadn't been named yet.
@@siryogiwan It depends where you draw the line for a genre being recognised. It is pretty widely accepted that the Pistols were credited as being instrumental (pardon the pun) the wider recognition of the genre. However, we know, of course, they weren't the first 'Punk' band, but it depends where you draw the line on what you class as a punk riff or beat. Ska could be said to be a close relative of Punk, so we could hear that 10 years earlier, you could argue that Swing had some Punkish drumbeats, but let's face it, neither Ska or Swing was Punk. Punk was Punk, it was a movement of music, dress and attitude so for me, that puts it in the early 70s.
@@lencooke944 yeah ska is an offshoot of punk, but with other influences, I don't even consider modern punk bands as being that punk, I was never really into punk as a genre growing up, but have certain bands I appreciate their music from back in the day.
@@siryogiwan yeah, mostly agree, but I would put it the other way around, Punk would be, in my mind, an evolution of Ska, Ska was around as a genre from the mid 60s and had a resurgence in the late 70s early 80s. Either way, it's all good music so I don't really like to idle on semantics. On another question, what did you think of the top 30 bands list in Matt's reaction video?
@@lencooke944 was decent, in that they are all known bands, but definitely felt was lacking some of the groups that really pioneered our music over generations, so many surf rock groups that were a part of the pub rock that could have got a mention, but not a single 1
Overall a really good list. The one I would like to see more on these types of lists but is controversal is the Bee Gees. They might of been born in The Isla of Man but spend a significant portion of their formative years in Australia and got their start in the musical industry in Australia. If this list can claim Crowded House surely it can also claim the Bee Gees?
Cold Chisel is simply the best they are just finishing their BIG Five 0 tour , the last shows will be in New Zealand after Christmas ,they started in 1973 the same year as AC/DC
He could of added The Seekers better known song Georgie Girl . Used in a famous movie . Jo Camileri and the Falcons, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs , Master Apprentices , Zoot ( I love the really good version of Eleanor Rigby with Rick Springfield ) , Party Boys ,Daddy Cool -Eagle Rock ,
Our biggest Band Ever was the BEE GEES as they were big during the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, (before that fella was born, not to mention all the songs they wrote for other bands and Singers which were No.1 Hits as well, yet that bloke never even gave them a mention- perhaps he never saw Saturday Night Fever or Grease,) followed by AC/DC followed by the SEEKERS, followed by The EASYBEATS and INXS. Some of the bands that fella picked, I've never heard of. I think he's a wanker. Air Supply, and Crowded House are New Zealand Bands, also, but gained popularity in Australia. He doesnt mention Daddy Cool/Mondo Rock, or Max Merritt and the Meteors, or Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, or many other Bands he's probably never heard of because he wasnt born when they were at their heights. There was Zoot, The Loved Ones, The Groop, Axiom, The Twilights, The Bootleg Family, and dozens of other bands that were far more well known in their day than a few bands he has picked.
Darren Hayes, of Savage Garden, has recently released his autobiography. I'm currently reading it. They broke up in 2001. Darren has been a solo artist ever since.
G'day, JJJ is a tax payer funded/subsidised national radio broadcaster. For this reasen it has influanced listners across the country It is often one of few radio stations that could be tuned-in in less populated areas. They also have to play a large prportion of Aussie musissians. This requirement forces them to support lesser known bands as they develop. Several of these bands did not do so well in commercial radio. Another group to have a huge international impact, sell huge volumes of music and merchandise, constantly performing live and have their own TV show. They are so successfull that they have been able to franchise themselves to other non-english speaking countries. THE WIGGLES.
You will be amazed how many bands are from Western Australia or had some part of their roots from there. Inxs ACDC Hoodo Gurus Eurogliders Eskimo Joe Birds of Tokyo the list is endless.. The Easybeats Vanga and Young, a clue George Young was the older brother of Angus and Malcom Young of ACDC
Silverchair were great, I was right at their era. They were just a smidge older than me. That being said I don't think they were looked after in the industry and I think it had lasting impacts on the lead singer, Daniel Johns. The Whitlams are another one of favourite bands. I walked into my wedding reception to "Royal in the Afternoon" which was about the lead singer, Tim Freedman's indecision about whether or not to get married, which I thought was pretty funny under the circumstances. The chorus is "We can be bigger than my bad habits / Over my dead body but still / If I'm awake in the morning / We'll be royal in the afternoon". Incidentally, they drove around in "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" in their early touring days, according to IMDB. The 80s, 90s and 2000s was a great time for Australian music (maybe the 70s too, but I wasn't alive then). I really enjoyed the music of the 90s and 2000s particularly, but that was my era. Great music!!
after the Diddy thing, thoughts about what might have sent Daniel into his spiral are kinda wild, they were kids sent to America, I'll leave it at that
@@siryogiwanI won’t make comment about that, but those allegations against that person are indeed horrendous. What I will comment on are the things that Mr Johns has said himself in podcasts and interviews, about feeling too exposed and loss of privacy, among other things.
I finally got a chance to finish the video. The pub rock scene, whilst I was not present for it, I was born after the catalyst that changed it all, I did study it for my music degree. One interesting fact about the pub rock scene was what effectively destroyed the scene was the Luna Park Ghost Train fire of 1979. You see, that fire caused a change in a lot of the building codes for fire safety. A lot of the pubs weren’t meet the restrictions with the same crowds that they used to have to make bringing in the big name bands financially viable. Alas, the pub rock scene faded out. But from my understanding from family members and other people’s accounts, they were wild times and made rock music widely accessible to a lot of people. Hopefully, one day, we will see a return of accessible and good music for the people again. Lift the spirits of everyone in these tough times.
JJJ have a channel on here for the cover version segment they do, it's awesome, famous groups perform a song by someone else to cover, but do it with their own take, if you look for "like a version" you'll find it, highly recommend it, even if not for reacting to, goes back decades
as decent as these lists usually are, I really would love to see a statistics-based vid, that ranks them by something like sales or something less subjective, some of my all-time favorite Ozzie bands are little known indie bands or obscure bands people forget about, some of the latter have been mentioned by others.
The thing with Triple J was that it was national. Maybe not that big a deal for the UK but when it expanded to the capital cities by the late 80-s and then most major regional areas in the 90s it meant that aussie youth throughout most of the country could all be listening to the same radio station. You could be listening in one city and hear a caller from a country town thousands of KMs away. It gave JJJ dominance over the youth market and moulded and expanded musical interests. Plus no freakin ads! And lots of swearing
Other honourable mentions to check out: Died Pretty esp (Doughboy Hollow Album) I also think 1927 (…..ish) should have got a bit more love overseas. Cheers
If you're curious about pub band progression in the 80's, the 'Little Band' scene in Melbourne in the 70's and 80's (which INXS came from) is a nice deep dive - there really was a very rich music scene and a lot of experimentation going on.
I don’t know why international success counts? A great band can be a great band in their own country, surely. There are lots of factors that go into international success - and being the better band isn’t always one of them.
Bodyjar, Insurge, Butterfly Effect, Frenzal Rhomb, Regurgitator, 28 Days, Spiderbait, Misery, Mark of Cain, Nick Cave and many more, classic rock like AC/DC, The Angels, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Rose Tattoo, Choirboys, Paul Kelly and so on... my playlists contain most of these bands. Not a big fan of country but Australia has shitloads of them like Lee Kernaghan... and I couldn't care to name any more.
Not sure about the rest of Australia at the time, but Adelaide South Australia (where the Hilltop Hoods are from; they got their name from where they grew up, Flagstaff Hill) had a pretty vibrant, albeit underground, rap scene in the early to mid 90s especially. Rap isn't entirely my cup of tea, but there were a lot of really cool freestyle and battle events at local Unis that were great to see. Not that any of them would remember, but I did hang out with the Hilltop Hoods a couple of times in the early 90s, mostly in a 'don't mind me, I'm just here with my boyfriend who knows you guys way better than me, Imma just going to get stoned and be really mellow' kind of a way.
If you haven't already, you absolutely should checkout the late Rowland S Howard. He was the guitarist with The Birthday Party (along with Nick Cave on lead vocals), and went on to play in other criminally underrated bands such as These Immortal Souls and Crime and the City Solution, alongside a solo career as well. Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) was a huge admirer of Rowland's work and once said, "“He was so significant to a lot of the underground American music coming from the initial hardcore scene. I told him once, but I don’t think he appreciated what I was on about”. This is from one of his solo albums ua-cam.com/video/flqejy9xAGU/v-deo.htmlsi=uKLU9N55r29xyJOM And this was from his last ever performance, roughly 2 months before his death from liver cancer (song uses studio vocals for this clip) ua-cam.com/video/0wOaboANKiY/v-deo.htmlsi=wqzVIzWjQzPqSrLS&t=1
It's called the flu and yes pub rock started in the sixties got really big in the 70's and 80's there are still a lot of bands playing the pub scene and most likely will until pubs fall down cheers
The Bee Gees are more British. They lived and formed in Australia in the 60s but went back to Britan Before they became huge, but they do need mentioning that Australia discovered The Bee Gees and helped them get a foot in the door.
You need to watch long way to the top ACDC the Bagpipes are in it This clip is amazing Bon Scott on the bagpipes ua-cam.com/video/g-qkY2yj4_A/v-deo.htmlsi=6r-b7ifisD2kAUVy
Triple J is an alternate rock station, with I'm sure DJs that are stoned off their nut but it's a good radio station though. They get music from young inspiring musicians trying to catch a break and do some great things for local artists. If you're sick of hearing Taylor Swift or any other shit music on repeat from the mainstream radio stations Triple J is the place to go. The best pub song (globally) is by The Angels 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again', no competition there. Yothu Cringey, now look where we fucking are with our bullshit welcome to country saga!!
Cold Chisel are No. 1. No question. Tripple J is a national government funded youth radio station. It was massive in the 90s and 00s. They have a Hottest 100 countdown each year, and it is a very big deal. Great Aussie bands are Powderfinger, Silverchair, Grinspoon, The Living End, John Buttler Trio, You am I, Spiderbait, Midnight Oil, Crowded House, Men at Work, INXS and Ice House. My favs are 1. Powderfinger, 2. Grinspoon, 3. You Am I. AC/DC have not really been Australian for a long time IMO. Bon Scott is the only true lead singer of AC/DC. You need to react to a video on Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes and Aussie pub rock. Jimmy Barnes is the biggest rockstar in Australia. If you want to get to know Aussie pup rock then Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, The Angels and Rose Tattoo are a good starting point. Guns N Roses did a cover of a Rose Tattoo song on their first EP which ended up on their 2nd album Lies, which is really just 2 EPs in one. Only 3 new songs on it.
I love TRIPLE J - VERY IMPORTANT - JJJ was life TO Me. Our music is better than anyone else’s anywhere - AND that’s A FACT. WA was huge in Oz Music - always the best music came from WA - I hate Yacht rock - thank god JJJ DID NOT PLAY YACHT ROCK. HIP HOP & RAP were my genre. . Sorry man but I hate Tame Impala. ,
Glad he said 'what I think'... Unless you experience the 70s 80s and 90s in AUSTRALIA. And you know your stuff then most of these UNKNOWNS would not be part of these.

The guy who you are watching made a terrible video. He did not represent the bands best qualities in his short live clips. His selections weren't bad but his clips were.
@@shannonbaron7302 I imagine it was intentional to not risk the video being blocked for copyright infringement. a shame to not give a better impression of each act, but understandable.
The Seekers and Easybeats aside, this clown thinks our Blues, Rock and Pop started in 1980. Australia reached it's rock peak in the 1960's through to the late 1970's......not withstanding many excellant and noteworthy bands since then, as well as many successful artists and bands from all eras that are best described as embarrassingly BAD / INEPT . He has ignored the Pub Scene from the 1970's and concentrated on pulp chosen by radio and tv accountants for airplay during the mostly DARK AGES from 1980 to the present. The Seekers and The Easybeats had to be on this list, but so do The Bee Gees and The Aztecs ( Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs ). As for AC/DC, I love them , but here in Australia they are only 3rd or 4th most popular rock band. If you count The Seekers (folk ) and The Bee Gees ( radio pop ), then AC / DC are only No5 here at best.
I don't mind them if in right mood, but only a couple of their songs, my dad on other hand, absolutely hates them, he listens to radio on verandah having beers and they'll come on and he gets shits and turns off the radio lol
I haven't listened to them in decades, I only listened to them in late 90s, but they went downhill, don't listen to any radio these days, unless someone else has it on
I don't know if you have done these reactions, but Wild Thing (Cold Chisel) from The Last Stand,When Something Is Wrong With My baby, by Barnsy and Farnsy LIVE, and last but not least, although not a band. John Farnham singing HELP,the Beatles song LIVE with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is the best performer you will ever see 👍 And look after yourself with that cough bro!
Cold Chisel should be number one.
Absolutely
Yes, Cold Chisel are the best.
Nope. Love them but nope.

1 TO INFINITY +1 !!!!!
FORGET THE REST !!!!!
DEFINITELY check out Hilltop Hoods, Adelaides own aussie rappers, theyve done a collab with SIA and they have a good sense of humour.
Cold Chisel is simply the best they are just finishing their BIG Five 0 tour , the last shows will be in New Zealand after Christmas ,they started in 1973 the same year as AC/DC
Can anyone remember a little pub band called Rusty & The Ayres Rockettes, they were always good for a fun arvo session 😂
He could of added The Seekers better known song Georgie Girl . Used in a famous movie . Jo Camileri and the Falcons, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs , Master Apprentices , Zoot ( I love the really good version of Eleanor Rigby with Rick Springfield ) , Party Boys ,Daddy Cool -Eagle Rock ,

Darren Hayes from savage garden is a great singer and still making music
My top bands
Cold chisel
INXS
AC/DC
Silverchair
Midnight oil
“Icehouse” were originally called “the Flowers “ or “Flowers “
Tame Impala are a Perth band
JJJ is a branch of ABC Radio, it is focused primarily on teen/young adult alternative music and talk back subjects
ac/dc and cold chisel should share #1
Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but both are worthy..
Followed by inxs, easybeats and midnight oil..
INXS should probably share No 1 with the other two I reckon
Triple J is a radio station, part of the ABC I think? They have the hottest 100 every Australia Day.
Definitely check the Hoodoos and the Hoods , but so many other great Australian bands
To answer your question.......JJJ is a radio station playing non mainstream music in aussie. Hope that halps :)

The chorus is "We can be bigger than my bad habits / Over my dead body but still / If I'm awake in the morning / We'll be royal in the afternoon". Incidentally, they drove around in "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" in their early touring days, according to IMDB. The 80s, 90s and 2000s was a great time for Australian music (maybe the 70s too, but I wasn't alive then). I really enjoyed the music of the 90s and 2000s particularly, but that was my era. Great music!!
after the Diddy thing, thoughts about what might have sent Daniel into his spiral are kinda wild, they were kids sent to America, I'll leave it at that
@@siryogiwanI won’t make comment about that, but those allegations against that person are indeed horrendous. What I will comment on are the things that Mr Johns has said himself in podcasts and interviews, about feeling too exposed and loss of privacy, among other things.
30+ slots - still leaves out Dead Can Dance ... Outrageous.
Shyhooks, Sherbet
Tame Impala... INXS, ACDC and Silverchair are the top 3 "bands" from Australia.
Hill Top Hoods rock mate you must take a look for yourself or on here would be very cool
I finally got a chance to finish the video. The pub rock scene, whilst I was not present for it, I was born after the catalyst that changed it all, I did study it for my music degree. One interesting fact about the pub rock scene was what effectively destroyed the scene was the Luna Park Ghost Train fire of 1979. You see, that fire caused a change in a lot of the building codes for fire safety. A lot of the pubs weren’t meet the restrictions with the same crowds that they used to have to make bringing in the big name bands financially viable. Alas, the pub rock scene faded out. But from my understanding from family members and other people’s accounts, they were wild times and made rock music widely accessible to a lot of people. Hopefully, one day, we will see a return of accessible and good music for the people again. Lift the spirits of everyone in these tough times.
Check out "nose bleed section" hilltop hoods
Aus crawl like the Police get real.
Pretty fair assessment. I'd like you to do a run down of solo artists from Australia. From Mick.D.
JJJ have a channel on here for the cover version segment they do, it's awesome, famous groups perform a song by someone else to cover, but do it with their own take, if you look for "like a version" you'll find it, highly recommend it, even if not for reacting to, goes back decades
as decent as these lists usually are, I really would love to see a statistics-based vid, that ranks them by something like sales or something less subjective, some of my all-time favorite Ozzie bands are little known indie bands or obscure bands people forget about, some of the latter have been mentioned by others.
The thing with Triple J was that it was national. Maybe not that big a deal for the UK but when it expanded to the capital cities by the late 80-s and then most major regional areas in the 90s it meant that aussie youth throughout most of the country could all be listening to the same radio station. You could be listening in one city and hear a caller from a country town thousands of KMs away. It gave JJJ dominance over the youth market and moulded and expanded musical interests. Plus no freakin ads! And lots of swearing
And they actively promote new acts
Other honourable mentions to check out: Died Pretty esp (Doughboy Hollow Album) I also think 1927 (…..ish) should have got a bit more love overseas. Cheers
There is a big Aussie hip hop culture and Hilltop Hoods are the OGs It is quite distinctive in sound and very different to US rap
I wouldn't call them the OGs, plenty around decades before them, 1 of 1st to go international was sound unlimited
Crowded House are Kiwis! And so is Phar Lap btw! Oh, and also pavlova
Sheep shagging?
Actually they were formed in Melbourne and some are Aussies.
Pavlova is Aussie too!
@@ellefitzpatrick6339 😄
2 out of 3 members were Australian, and they formed in Melbourne, so just let it go!
JJJ, is a Sydney radio station. Very important to them, not so to others.
Get well soon. How you're not sick over Christmas-NY

There was music before you were born
I stumbled upon the Yacht Rock genre in the middle of 2020. It was a great escape during the height of lockdowns. 🍸🍹🍍🛥🏝
If you're curious about pub band progression in the 80's, the 'Little Band' scene in Melbourne in the 70's and 80's (which INXS came from) is a nice deep dive - there really was a very rich music scene and a lot of experimentation going on.
I don’t know why international success counts? A great band can be a great band in their own country, surely. There are lots of factors that go into international success - and being the better band isn’t always one of them.
Try 50 in 5 from the Hilltop Hoods.. Rap and brilliant.
Bodyjar, Insurge, Butterfly Effect, Frenzal Rhomb, Regurgitator, 28 Days, Spiderbait, Misery, Mark of Cain, Nick Cave and many more, classic rock like AC/DC, The Angels, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Rose Tattoo, Choirboys, Paul Kelly and so on... my playlists contain most of these bands.
Not a big fan of country but Australia has shitloads of them like Lee Kernaghan... and I couldn't care to name any more.
Triple J is a government funded youth radio station. They were known for giving hot up and coming artists and bands airplay and exposure.
Not sure about the rest of Australia at the time, but Adelaide South Australia (where the Hilltop Hoods are from; they got their name from where they grew up, Flagstaff Hill) had a pretty vibrant, albeit underground, rap scene in the early to mid 90s especially. Rap isn't entirely my cup of tea, but there were a lot of really cool freestyle and battle events at local Unis that were great to see. Not that any of them would remember, but I did hang out with the Hilltop Hoods a couple of times in the early 90s, mostly in a 'don't mind me, I'm just here with my boyfriend who knows you guys way better than me, Imma just going to get stoned and be really mellow' kind of a way.
If you haven't already, you absolutely should checkout the late Rowland S Howard. He was the guitarist with The Birthday Party (along with Nick Cave on lead vocals), and went on to play in other criminally underrated bands such as These Immortal Souls and Crime and the City Solution, alongside a solo career as well. Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) was a huge admirer of Rowland's work and once said, "“He was so significant to a lot of the underground American music coming from the initial hardcore scene. I told him once, but I don’t think he appreciated what I was on about”.
This is from one of his solo albums
ua-cam.com/video/flqejy9xAGU/v-deo.htmlsi=uKLU9N55r29xyJOM
And this was from his last ever performance, roughly 2 months before his death from liver cancer (song uses studio vocals for this clip)

Did I miss it where was the Divynyls?
Triple J is a radio station. Every year the do a top 100 show
Do Cold Chisel ' Khe Sahn ' lyrical version helps
It's called the flu and yes pub rock started in the sixties got really big in the 70's and 80's there are still a lot of bands playing the pub scene and most likely will until pubs fall down cheers
Crowded house are Kiwis.
I love The Living End ❤
They're a great band! I can't name one song I don't like.
Ted Murley gang
Marcia Hines, Billy Thorpe ... so many 😊
@@FionaEmMarcia hinds, not really a band.
@Guvament_bs It's Hines, and she's an Australian artist so who cares if she's solo or with a band?
@@FionaEm I was just going by the title of the video...."Top 30 Australian Bands".
the guy in this video is young, time is a filter, cold chisel 1
Kudos for doing a reaction when feeling like shit. My man, I really felt for you, you did not look well at all. I hope you're feeling much better. ✌❤
Triple j is a radio outlet
The Bee Gees obviously not successful enough to make the list, or an honorable mention at the start
The Bee Gees are more British. They lived and formed in Australia in the 60s but went back to Britan Before they became huge, but they do need mentioning that Australia discovered The Bee Gees and helped them get a foot in the door.
The seekers kept Beatles album from being number one in England at one stange
Cold chisel probably
You will love Hilltop Hoods stuff
Go Betweens probably more famous outside of Australia.
Hip hop still big here
Toehider by far
Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band - Your Feet's Too Big 1974 - ua-cam.com/video/uMFP_809ASs/v-deo.html
Any top Australian band list that doesn't have The Angels in the top 5 has no credibility
You need to watch long way to the top ACDC the Bagpipes are in it
This clip is amazing Bon Scott on the bagpipes

Triple J is an alternate rock station, with I'm sure DJs that are stoned off their nut but it's a good radio station though. They get music from young inspiring musicians trying to catch a break and do some great things for local artists. If you're sick of hearing Taylor Swift or any other shit music on repeat from the mainstream radio stations Triple J is the place to go.
The best pub song (globally) is by The Angels 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again', no competition there. Yothu Cringey, now look where we fucking are with our bullshit welcome to country saga!!
Cold Chisel are No. 1. No question. Tripple J is a national government funded youth radio station. It was massive in the 90s and 00s. They have a Hottest 100 countdown each year, and it is a very big deal. Great Aussie bands are Powderfinger, Silverchair, Grinspoon, The Living End, John Buttler Trio, You am I, Spiderbait, Midnight Oil, Crowded House, Men at Work, INXS and Ice House. My favs are 1. Powderfinger, 2. Grinspoon, 3. You Am I. AC/DC have not really been Australian for a long time IMO. Bon Scott is the only true lead singer of AC/DC. You need to react to a video on Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes and Aussie pub rock. Jimmy Barnes is the biggest rockstar in Australia. If you want to get to know Aussie pup rock then Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, The Angels and Rose Tattoo are a good starting point. Guns N Roses did a cover of a Rose Tattoo song on their first EP which ended up on their 2nd album Lies, which is really just 2 EPs in one. Only 3 new songs on it.
Pity he didn’t list Defryme
Mate you don't let us hear the song 😢😊
Misogynist much? Despite having a woman lead singer, they still wrote good songs...
I love TRIPLE J - VERY IMPORTANT - JJJ was life TO Me. Our music is better than anyone else’s anywhere - AND that’s A FACT. WA was huge in Oz Music - always the best music came from WA - I hate Yacht rock - thank god JJJ DID NOT PLAY YACHT ROCK. HIP HOP & RAP were my genre. . Sorry man but I hate Tame Impala. ,
Glad he said 'what I think'...
Unless you experience the 70s 80s and 90s in AUSTRALIA.
And you know your stuff then most of these UNKNOWNS would not be part of these.
even some of bands from 50s and 60s are awesome, I only know most through my oldies, but will sing along to them if I hear them lol

Nick Cave (and the Bad Seeds)
The Mavis'
The Fireballs
This list shows this guys age and/or limited exposure to Aussie music
The guy who you are watching made a terrible video. He did not represent the bands best qualities in his short live clips. His selections weren't bad but his clips were.
that Nick Cave clip was atrocious and I'm not a fan of his music lol
@@shannonbaron7302 I imagine it was intentional to not risk the video being blocked for copyright infringement. a shame to not give a better impression of each act, but understandable.
Midnight oil? Really? Hell no
You can’t compare these bands really. All have a different vibe and you’re going to get biased opinions from diehard fans. 🤷🏼♀️
You am I are excellent
they never seem to get on these lists usually, def a worth band for the list
The Seekers and Easybeats aside, this clown thinks our Blues, Rock and Pop started in 1980.
Australia reached it's rock peak in the 1960's through to the late 1970's......not withstanding many excellant and noteworthy bands since then, as well as many successful artists and bands from all eras that are best described as embarrassingly BAD / INEPT .
He has ignored the Pub Scene from the 1970's and concentrated on pulp chosen by radio and tv accountants for airplay during the mostly DARK AGES from 1980 to the present.
The Seekers and The Easybeats had to be on this list, but so do The Bee Gees and The Aztecs ( Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs ).
As for AC/DC, I love them , but here in Australia they are only 3rd or 4th most popular rock band.
If you count The Seekers (folk ) and The Bee Gees ( radio pop ), then AC / DC are only No5 here at best.
I'm an Aussie and got to say I have always disliked Midnight Oil 🤷♀️🤮😂
I don't mind them if in right mood, but only a couple of their songs, my dad on other hand, absolutely hates them, he listens to radio on verandah having beers and they'll come on and he gets shits and turns off the radio lol
@siryogiwan I don't blame your dad! 😆😆
My hubby hates them too. 😂😂
They don't play the snipets long enough. Just clickbait. I actually hate the song choices that this overated clown picked, too.
Copyright problems if clips run too long and the video gets flagged. It sucks, but it's how they do it.
Triple J is absolute crap!
I haven't listened to them in decades, I only listened to them in late 90s, but they went downhill, don't listen to any radio these days, unless someone else has it on
@@siryogiwan Same
Preferred double J
@@davidhammersley2869 yeah I listened to that when living in Sydney 20yrs back, was better for sure
I don't know if you have done these reactions, but Wild Thing (Cold Chisel) from The Last Stand,When Something Is Wrong With My baby, by Barnsy and Farnsy LIVE, and last but not least, although not a band.
John Farnham singing HELP,the Beatles song LIVE with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is the best performer you will ever see 👍
And look after yourself with that cough bro!
