Aussie Musos Reveal Their Favourite Albums

by lkatulka on September 29th, 2007

The Adelaide Advertiser ran a fascinating article today where (mostly) Australian artist spoke about the albums they couldn’t get enough of.

It’s little surprise to know our own talented troubadour Ben Lee is a big Bob Dylan fan, or that Silverchair dumming whiz Ben Gillies took his cues from Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham.

But I was a little more shocked to read that softly spoken singer/songwriter Josh Pyke can’t get enough of the Gunner’s rock classic Appetite for Destruction. And who would have thought that our newest pop princess Amy Pearson loves the grit of Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?

Like the local stars featured here, my favourite album isn’t an Australian one either. I still can’t go past Matchbox Twenty’s Yourself Or Someone Like You for a front to back compelling listening experience. I bought it as an angsty teenager (that’s showing my age) and more than a decade later I love it just as much.

But what about you? I’d love to know what album really rocks your world, whether it’s Australian or not!
