I of course don't know where to start with a list like this! It's v interesting seeing what people overseas like about ANZ 80's though! I hope more people reply.

Some great names above. Anyone like Divynals, Noiseworks, Jimmmy Barnes? Uncanny X Men? The Models?, WaWaNee? (ok, maybe not them ;-)

Hi Frau,
Thanks for the welcome.
I'm enjoying the site thus far & learning a lot too.
My interests lay with Numan,Ultravox & Wire.However,I like to learn about Aussie,UK & USA bands that flew under the radar.I'm learning about Angry Young Bees at present...

I forgot to mention Sports in my list...another great band .
Australia had a great, varied music scene in the late 70s & early 80s.I think this was happening everywhere..
