When it comes to singing I always go for voice first,all other considerations come afterwards.Its what makes the difference for me in both male and female singers.

Up to a point of course,...don't have any pro-Hitler/Pol Pot/Bush/Blair fav's....

Quokka

Hells Bells is one of my favs but Back in Black and For those about to Rock are way up there as well.

Along with Cold Chisel, two of the best bands ever to hail from Australia.... after Powderfinger of course

There are a lot of other rock & metal bands that helped, kye.
Way way back in the dim dark past there was an Aussie singer called Johnny O'Keefe. He was known as the Wild Child Of Rock here. His best (IMO) track was Shout, into which he put heart and soul!
Another brilliant Aussie band was The Angels with lead singer 'Doc' Neeson. Their best album was 'Howling' another highlight in the development of rock and metal.
AC/DC's albums Blow Up Your Video and Who made who, were two that also helped them to fame and notorietry!
For me Cold Chisel comes first every time when it comes to Aussie rock/metal!

Quokka, I'm afraid Powderfinger, for me anyway, is not in their league! They are OK but just don't have that powerful headbanging, fist in the air kind of music.

I agree that Powderfinger aren't strictly headbanging, then again alot of Chisel isnt either, more the crowd of thousands singing along to the lyrics.

I always liked Hunters and Collectors as well, another really really good live band.

Still would love to see a survey done for Khe Sanh, I swear more Australians could sing the lyrics to that than the second verse of Advance Australia Fair.

Queen was legendary! I loved all the tracks they did on the Highlander movies! And series too!
-Want to live forever!
-The opening theme to Highlander series, Born to be kings/Princes of the Universe or something!
-Another Great one is/was Running with Devil- Van Halen! Heard it on Little Nicky starring Adam Sandler and I loved it!

Salazar

My 4 best songs are:
Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park
Are you Gonna be My Girl - Jet
Letterbomb - Greenday
Speed of Sound - Coldplay

Massive Choice, dude!

Culhwch

Well I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh
And I sold my soul with my cigarettes to the black market man....

Should I continue, Quokka? I hope you're standing....

I'm with Quokka on Powderfinger. Certainly the form Aussie rock band of the nineties. Doesn't hurt that they're good Brissie boys, either....

Favourite Chisel track: When The War Is Over - definitely not a headbanger.

Rosemary

Hmm, yes I do agree with you there Quokka, not too much headbanging with Chisel, oh but they were so good! They sure cut some brilliant tracks!

Culhwch, you are correct about 'When The War Is Over', certainly not what one could categorise as heavy metal! Brings tears to my eyes instead!
AC/DC for me is the ultimate Aussie Heavy Rock.

'Khe Sanh' would get more votes than 'The Land Down Under' and far more than 'Jolly Swagman" Oh yuk, how could you make THAT a national anthem?

aftermath

Beatles- With a Little Help from my friends (So hard to pick just one)
Cradle of Filth- Her Ghost in the Fog
Iron Maiden - Back in the Village
Yes- Siberian Khatru (Also so hard to just pick one)
