Quiet on the bike front so just wondering. Obviously we listen to lots of UK music, does any of you blokes up there listen to any Oz music?
TBH I don't know where most music comes from, I just like the tune or not.
Don't know much about Oz music but I do like AC/DC and Jimmy Barnes. Any more like them?
I listen to about 4 hours of music every day and am always looking to widen my catalogue.
AC/DC are a great band (as most of em where born in the UK :rolleyes: ) but we all know the best music is British :boogie: :boogie2: :stir: :whistling: :grin:
John Butler, the last live band I seen was AC/DC in Sydney in 40 degree heat, never again.
I'm sure there are plenty of up and coming bands. Unfortunately with shows like the Voice the young ones think they can just step in to the limelight without the effort 🤯
Jet's first album was great, as was Wolfmother's. I still occasionally play them.
Kieth Urban now and again :onya:
"Men at work" ??
I actually liked their well known song..
I'm always listening to:
'Barnsey' (Jimmy)
Midnight Oil
Jet
Wolfmother
ACDC
Hoodoo Gurus
Men at Work
LRB
Etc
These bands still get a lot of radio airplay, and on Australia Day (26th Jan) they only play Oz music all day long
Theres so many good ones Eric. Angels, Dingos, Baby Animals, Richard Clapton, Powderfinger. Not many new ones i like but Meg Mac is pretty good.
Is there a good Radio station in Aus that i would get on the Tinterweb ? Would be able to listen to some of these bands then ?

MMM Rock station rocks
I did like the Seekers with Judith Durham :)
Notty, mid 80s was at a local muso night in small hall. Guess who got up out of audience and did one song. She sure could sing. Far better live than recordings.
My favorite Aussie bands/singers - in no particular order.
A good starting point for you. YouTube is your friend.
For some I've included possibly their most famous 'song' in quotes.
INXS
The Divinyls (Chrissy Amphlett had such a unique voice. R.I.P.)
The Church "Under the Milky Way"
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
The Atlantics (Surf Instrumentals) "Bombora" (but "Rumble and Run" is better)
Cold Chisel / Jimmy Barnes
Midnight Oil
Icehouse
AC/DC
The Living End. "All Torn Down"
The Angels "Am I ever going to see your face again".
Paul Kelly
The Cruel Sea "Better Get a Lawyer Son"
Redgum / John Schumann "I was Only 19"
Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs "Some people I know think that I'm crazy"
The Saints "Stranded"
Skyhooks
We also like to claim Crowded House (although they are really from NZ)

MMM Rock station rocks
Well -- it rocks me the wrong way!!!Why?
1. Their website uses a digital fingerprinter. :furious: A digital fingerprint is used to identify you on the net. Not a nice behavior of any website -- in this case it is a russion fingerprinter from yandex.ru
They also use:
.auto-messenger.ru :jack:
.radiosolo.ru :jack:
Andre are you sure its the right MMM because that doesn't sound correct at all.
Rose Tattoo and Mr Angry Anderson :onya:
So many good ones. Most under rated, Richard Clapton, my all time fave, Dingoes, Baby Animals
Lived in Oz in 81-82 we were so spoiled for great local music. Some great bands on your list Vlad, add 'Men at Work' too.

Yeah Andre, thats them. I dont listen to them so not caring. Probably every station same thing. Im thinking every web site i look at same, i look at something then adds appear. My life very open,can spy on me if they want. Good to hear from you, been a whilre.
Grog,
I consider my life private.
There are simple things to increase privacy (and annoyance) on the Internet.
Easy ones all done in Browser settings:
Use a browser extension: ublock origin
Only allow https
Set strict Tracking Protection
Enable secure DNS (choose NextDNS or Cloudflare).
Lots more, but the above gets rid of most of the crap. Less annoyance. Mate of mine has thanked me a dozen times for not getting all the ads on YT anymore.
Thanks Andre, Adblock plus and nextdns installed. A lot less adds 👍👍👍
