Hell, anyone that can play and sing above the typical record company output. It's all good.

Contributing to a certain Chain Game reminded me that one of the great things about being Australian, is being able to take for granted such CLASSIC bands as:

The Angels Cold Chisel Midnight Oil The Easybeats
Masters Apprentices Sports Paul Kelly and/or the Coloured Girls/Dots
Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons The Celibate Rifles Jimmy and the Boys
And as Bertho pointed out…….Hi 5

Jimmy and the boys!!! Haha had forgotten about them years and years ago!! Next thing you'll be going for Mother Goose or Electric Pandas

Rather aged I know, but these are classic quality (in no order):

The Shadows
Beach Boys
Elvis Presley
Queen
Elton John
Chuck Berry
Status Quo
These are the most consistent in that I like most of what they do. There are also very good one/two off records by groups where much of their other stuff isn't the same standard. Finally, as probably (?) no one's heard of him but I have most of his solo stuff, Ashley Hutchings, who basically does rock versions of Morris dances. Sounds better in reality, honestly!

I'll take a stab at this one, even though my tastes go all over the map, too. But I'm not saying they are the best or most popular---just the ones I like .

(First and foremost) James Taylor
Steely Dan
Supertramp
The Kinks
The Pretenders
The B-52s

That about covers a wide range. There are others but those came to mind first....

Hmmm, mine are going to run the musical gamut:

The Beatles
Social Distortion
