Ed, here's ten reasons which prove Australian music doesn’t suck (in no particular order)

1. The Saints – ha! Throwing this one back at cha…

2. The Presets – even if you don’t personally love their work, it’s undeniable that they have almost single handedly changed the landscape of Australian dance music.

3. Architecture in Helsinki – everything I’ve ever wanted in a pop band

4. My Disco – Perfect Perfection, need I say any more about these guys?

5. Machine Gun Fellatio/ Pinky Beecroft - Not just cause I saw him last week. “The Girl of My Dreams” says it all

6. The Avalanches – ‘Since I Left You’ is one of the best albums ever. EVER.

7. Spoonbill – Knowing him there may be some bias, but in any case, a ton of other people agree he’s amazing too.

8. Unkle Ho – A story and fantasy to float away to in every track he’s touched. Plus the fact he seems so incredibly dorky adds to the genius. I hope he doesn’t think I’m stalking him. Cause I am, but it would be awkward.

9. Pendulum – Drum and bass? From WA? Famous? There’s a reason why.

10. Gotye – See past the mainstream pop and you get an amazing voice, an amazing drummer and work that’s totally unique.
