Austrailian rock and roll


The recent "Obscure bands" discussion inspired me to bring up another sub-genre because many of the responses mentioned a few of these groups. Who are your favorite Australian rock and roll bands? Let's be specific and mention favorite individual albums.
A few bands from down under:
AC/DC
Crowded House
the Church
Hoodoo Gurus
Hunters and Collectors (Mark Seymour solo works)
Powderfinger
Wolfmother

My favorites from this group are the Hoodoo's first 2 albums "Stoneage Romeos" and "Mars Needs Guitars"
I also really enjoy Hunters and Collectors "Human Frailty and "Under One Roof". Gotta love a band with a full time French horn player that still shakes the rafters. Every now and then it is fun to crank it up a little. The Aussies know how to rock.

Did we forget the Beegees?
Born in Britain but grew up and formed their band in Queensland after emigrating to Australia.
Sailed to Britain after recording Spicks and Specks (which went to No 1 whilst they were afloat) and hooked up with another Aussie entrepreneur Robert Stigwood.
The rest...as they say is history.
And how about the Easybeats.....
