oh you know, just the only Australian band to have three consecutive number one albums. Just rock and roll legends that have made about every Australian best albums list, just a band that every young rock band looks up to, just the band that released the best two Australian albums ever, just a band that have written more classics than you've had hot breakfasts.

You need a history lesson, bucko.

And how many international hits?

They only get number 1's in Australia, because there are enough bogans who are stupid enough to listen to it.

Yet just across the ditch nobody would know who the f**k they are. Big inside Australia? Whoopdy f**ken do. If You Am I is apparently the best Australia has to offer then a once decent Australian music industry has gone down the sh*tter. I'll see your You Am I and raise you Shihad, you know a band who's actually been heard of outside their own shores.

Shihad, isn't that a band that attempted to make it overseas, changed their name and their sound for commercial success.Then gave up a few years later when they realised what idiots they'd been and of how little significance the international market really is.

Great example.

They haven't had international hits because what they do is so quintessentially Australian in nature. The imagery, the sound, the band members; it's so relatable to the Australian experience that it just wouldn't work in the US.

And that's part of the reason they're so damn good imo.

Icehouse and Men at Work music was relatable also to Australia and its culture, they made it:lol:

Even in Australia, when they tour, what venues do they use? i'm assuming arenas so they can jam everyone to witness the 'The imagery, the sound, the band members; it's so relatable to the Australian experience':lol:

Mini, they are not great musicians nor song writers, some may think they are but how is that so? Fiona Horne was a better song writer, she wrote about things relating to what she;s passionate about, does that make her a great songwriter? plese tell me what makes a person a great songwriter Minihindy, i think the only reason why you listen to You am I and the Saints is because it's percieved as tasteful and the in thing at Uni:lol: Many Americans believe that Axl rose is the best, why isn't Tim an international celebrity? ffs even Missy Higginshas done more:lol::lol:

excuses excuses

so even when they tried to go commercia they still couldn't make t:lol:

You don't have change your style much for commercial success Mini, Van Halens first 4 albums showed as much apart from one or two songs on the album, they still maintained there distinctive sound.
