I've stumbled upon this revelation before, but I'll say it again:  Australia has a track record of putting out great rock bands.  Of course this is a subjective thing, but this whole website is subjective, so I'll continue. 

It all started with AC/DC.  These guys aren't necessarily super-talented or refined in any way, but they make music that sounds great when blasted at full volume.  For that, they deserve some respect. 

In the 90s, there was Silverchair.  This band was unfortunately grouped into the whole "grunge" scene, but I think they're much more than that.  Plus, they were like 16 when they became superstars. 

A few years ago, Jet was on the radio.  What most people don't realize is that this band actually wrote a ton of great songs, all of which are available on their albums, not released as singles.  They're another band that sounds great blasted at full volume, and they happened to choose some great bands to be influenced by. 

And now (though I'm a couple years late), there's Wolfmother.  They released a few singles and have been included on several video game soundtracks and commercials.  But what's cool about them is, like Jet, they chose some great bands as influences, and their songs have a simple yet awesome classic rock-ish sound.  I was a fan after the first listen. 

So thanks for your music, Australia.  Keep it coming. #entertainment
