UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}n music is known for being wildly eclectic or {{Rock}} or [[CountryMusic country]]-based. Oddly enough, a whole heck of a lot of our famous musicians (particularly those who became famous around the 1970s, when there was a huge explosion of Australian pub rock) were born in the UK and immigrated here. They almost invariably came here as children and got their start in music over here, though, so we can still legitimately claim them as our own (even if singers such as Music/JimmyBarnes and Music/ColinHay still sound semi-Scottish). However, nowadays Australian mainstream musicians are sliding more and more into {{Pop}} territory, to compete with international artists.

artists, including the continued dominance of Music/KylieMinogue, along with the likes of artists such as Music/TinaArena, Music/KateCeberano, Music/ToniPearen, Music/{{Euphoria}}, Music/DeniHines and Music/SavageGarden. The same decade also saw an explosion of Australian independent AlternativeRock and UsefulNotes/{{Punk}} bands, many of whom came to define the country's musical landscape for years to come, giving rise to the likes of Music/{{Silverchair}}, Music/{{Custard}}, Music/{{Spiderbait}}, Music/{{Jebediah}}, Music/FrenzelRhomb, Music/KillingHeidi, Music/{{Powderfinger}}, Music/{{Regurgitator}}, Music/MagicDirt and many, many more, solidifying the country's rock music roots.

Nowadays, Australian music runs the gamut of genre, style and influence, with many artists making waves internationally and gaining the same levels of recognition as their peers overseas. One element of Australian music that has often been remarked upon is its sheer invention, with many artists breaking out as a result of creating music unlike anything else out there to varying degrees.
