Post your favorite stuff from or about the Land Down Under.

The Avalanches - Since I Left You - very underrated album.

Daddy Cool - Eagle Rock - the bar rock staple of Australia since the '70s

The Easybeats - Friday on My Mind

INXS - What You Need

The Kinks - Australia

The Easybeats - "Falling off the Edge of the World"

An obscure flip side, but the story goes that Lou Reed once played it on the jukebox at Max's Kansas City for hours on end...

Looks like the singer's hair is made out of Play-Doh.

My favorite :

In all seriousness, "Friday on My Mind" has to be the greatest Australian song ever cut. Absolutely love it.

Some people have called this the greatest single -- not the greatest Australian single; the greatest single, period -- of the '60s:

Russell Morris - "The Real Thing"

New Zealand is close enough. ETA, Crowded House is apparently part Kiwi/part Aussie.
Crowded House - Weather With You.
Finn Brothers - Angel's Heap.
