Over the years, many australian artists have set a precedent in the musical history not only of Australia, but of music around the world; Some of the Australian artists who have contributed greatly to their genre are the renowned rock band AC / DC, the alternative touch of Tame Impala, the pop talent of Kylie Minogue and the unmistakable identity of Sia.
AC / DC (1973) is one of the best rock bands in history. It is identified by its musical simplicity and by its lyrics that speak about everyday life, going against the established, questioning thoughts about rock of the time and writing thoughts that identify more than one follower, motivating them to make their own rules of conduct.
They brought back to the ring the classic and representative themes of blues and rock n ‘roll, where music is a symbol of power, of criticism and an escape from the everyday.
