Who are your favorite Australian musicians?

[bluzman61]

The Land Down Under has produced some fantastic musicians over the years. My favorites are 1) AC/DC 2) Midnight Oil 3) Little River Band 4) Men At Work and 5) Dave Hole, a wonderful blues slide guitarist. Who are some of your favorites?

That's the dideragoo, or something like that. I'll come back with the correct spelling.

It's spelled didgeridoo. I believe both Men At Work and Midnight Oil used it in some of their music.

I know what it is but I wasn't even going to attempt to spell it.

Helen Reddy and the Bee Gees

Nice choices. Many people don't know that even though the Bee Gees were born on the Isle of Man (UK territory) and became hugely famous after moving back to the UK, they grew up and started their musical career in Australia. I've always liked Helen Reddy, as well.

As did Kate Bush.

I did NOT know this, thanks!

The Midnight Oil didj ride leaves something to be desired.

Ok, then. Time for some serious music. Not quite Australian, but New Zealand. And it has a didgeridoo in it...



Nothing to do with Australia, this is Mongolian. But it rocks...



New Zealand Maori..

#16 video looks and sounds like a custom-painted carbon-fiber didj.

John Williamson got a lot of rotation on Asian CMT when I was in South Korea 1996-1997.
