True, but if they *did* hear them God knows what they'd say, because the bands I mentioned really *do* sound like what that hack thinks B&S sound like.
Australia isn't generally a place that's interested in anything except "rock". with very few exceptions.
INXS, Midnight Oil, Jimmy Barnes, Rick Springfield ... see what you mean.
Admittedly, I'm referring back to the 80s, but all those bands epitomised redneck-rock.

Time for the Sesame Street "one of these things is not like the other" game... Midnight Oil. They're too eccentric and intellectual for that bunch. Their last album also has the ironic title _Redneck Wonderland_. Did Jimmy Barnes ever record a song you might describe as a "set piece"? --Mark __ Burning Rome : SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 < http://www.burningrome.com/ > < download MP3s, hear RealAudio first > +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
