Hoodoo Gurus suggestion

2d mofi--the first two (stoneage and mars) are classics, the others less essential

per phasecorrect, nz is home of some of the best music ever--the flying nun label in particular has (in addition to the above mentioned) great bands like the verlaines, talldwarfs/chris knox and garageland; also check out david kilgour (ex-clean). the label has put out a bunch of compilations which are well worth checking out. when i still collected vinyl, i frequently mail ordered from them and they were ridiculously pleasant to deal with.

i've got spy v spy on my list. a couple other ozzies to check out:
1. orange humble band, assorted creams--virtually perfect pop written by the guy from lime spiders (a good but not transcendent band), but sung by ken stringfellow from the posies and produced by mitch easter
2. celibate rifles---more raucous and harder edged but very good--melodic ramonse/ny dollish. "roman beach party" is their go-to, but all i've heard have been good.
