Edit: I appreciate all the suggestions! So many fantastic recommendations to explore!

One thought on “What are some good Australian songs/musicians?”

  1. That sounds like a fantastic trip! Here are some Australian songs and musicians to help you create the perfect playlist:

    1. Tame Impala – Check out “The Less I Know the Better” for a great blend of psychedelic rock and pop vibes.
    2. Sia – Her songs like “Cheap Thrills” and “Elastic Heart” showcase her powerful voice and pop sensibility.
    3. INXS – For some classic rock, listen to “Need You Tonight” or “Never Tear Us Apart.”
    4. Crowded House – “Don’t Dream It’s Over” is a quintessential Aussie classic that’s perfect for any road trip.
    5. Gotye – “Somebody That I Used to Know” was a massive hit and really captures a unique sound.
    6. Angus & Julia Stone – Their song “Big Jet Plane” has a beautiful, mellow vibe that’s great for relaxing.
    7. Vance Joy – “Riptide” is catchy and captures that laid-back Aussie feel.
    8. Silverchair – “Tomorrow” is perfect if you’re into grunge rock from the ’90s.
    9. Paul Kelly – A legend in Aussie music; check out “Dumb Things” for a great storytelling style.
    10. The Avalanches – Their album “Since I Left You” is a mix of samples and upbeat vibes that’s great for the mood.

    For a bit of variety, consider including some Indigenous Australian artists like Yothu Yindi with their iconic song “Treaty.”

    Hope this helps you get started on your playlist. Enjoy your trip!
