Lime Spiders..Volatile!
My pick would be East by Cold Chisel, didnt like them but that album was full of great songs, spike -x, pretty much any early oils, but place without a postcard, still one of my all time faves!

OK Ben..The Spies..the album with dont tear it down and sally anne( thanks brain for forgetting)
I Spit on Your gravy..the one with Piranha(thanks brain again)
Anything by Tism..great titles..Australia,the lucky cunt..Lillee, caught Willey, Bowled Dilley..classic Aussie titles.
We may be a little bit biased towards the Spies here Ben, great blokes as well, i knew Mike the most, but i thought Craig and Cliff were terrific blokes!

I remember buying the Hunters first EP on a school trip to Canberra. When I showed my school friends on the bus going home not one of them had ever heard of Hunters and Collectors.

Saw them at the Old Greek Theatre in Melbourne. Great gig. Came out of that one soaked.
Is this supposed to be a Gee Up? So many better aussie bands than INXS. How about Radio Birdman or The Celibate Rifles? Or Spider Bait, or The Hard-ons?
So in short, my answer to the thread title is NO! Although I was into INXS when i was a youngin', i found their ealier albums shat all over kick.

I was playing soccer with Mike when they had just been to England to make Xenophobia Why?, i know they put a lot of heart and soul into it, that probably makes it great, i never spoke to Mike about music or there band( didnt wanna be a groupie!), i loved AO Mod, also the little mini album, it is put away, Meet us Inside??..great stuff!

I remember seeing Front End Loader when they supported No Means No & DOA back in the early nineties. So good. Heightened State of Awareness was such a good tune.
Best Australian album for me would be a split between The Mark of Cain's "Ill At Ease" & the Avalanches "Since I Left You". Been getting into lots of old ACDC lately too; love it.

Ah, that song brings back memories...
...of being in the toilet at the Lorne pub trying to throw up after mixing hash and Southern pre-gig, while the rest of the band played that to fill in until I was able to crawl back on stage.

Just purchased based on the strength of The Contender alone.

I remember that tour, think it was '92. Saw them at the Landsdowne in Sydney, nice one.
