There are a few stray dog Australians, like me, on this site.

I tend to think that Australia and New Zealand are like Canada - we punch above our weight when it comes to musical output.

Thoughts/observations about Australian/NZ bands and/or songs?

I got excited when I saw the title of this out of the corner of my eye cuz I thought it had to do with Australian shepherds which are the greatest dogs ever. Music is cool, too, I guess

Bee Gees, Men At Work, INXS, LRB, and more, Australia has produced some great pop music. One question, what the fuck is a vegamite sandwich? Apologies if l spelled it wrong. I don't speak Australian. ?

A Vegemite sandwich is two pieces of bread, smeared with Vegemite, which is a uniquely Australian product. Made from yeast extract and very salty. Vegemite and avocado on toast is an excellent hangover cure, I have found.

@Palindromeman Thank you very much.
?

@Sticks48, @Palindromeman Its not that unique. Its Marmite but not as stong

@273kelvin The Bee Gees grew up in Redcliffe in the Australian state Queensland. Which is where I grew up. So I get naming rights!

@Palindromeman But born in IOM then lived in Manchester

@273kelvin OK, what the fuck is Marmite? ?

@Sticks48 Its like vegemite but stronger. Made from yeast

@273kelvin Thank you very much.?

@273kelvin One more question and l promise l won't bother you again. What does it taste like?

@Sticks48 Extremely savory and you spread it thin The add campaign for it runs with "love it or hate it" The closest your gonna find to it is a beef stock cube OXO if you have them in the US

@273kelvin ?

@Sticks48 I am finding this thread hilarious. I mean, fuck me sideways, Vegemite is just a something you put on bread/toast.

Although, that said - it is now certified halal, which makes the white supreme mob lose their shit. Which is good.

You guys do have lots of good ones. When I was younger the Bee Gees appealed to me, Little River Bank always one of my faves, Air Supply and ONJ when I was a teeny bopper, Savage Garden.
AC/DC never quite worked for me. I know I've missed a few

Of course AC DC, INXS and Nick cave spring to mind but who can forget the immortal Slim Dusty
