Australian Classical Music
I've added a section on Australian Classical Music and also taken it to the Article Culture of Australia because I think it's pretty bad nothing is written on the subject (although unsurprising given the amount of media attention!). I will consider extending this into a full length article - but I need to learn how to reference properly first! Wellingtoncat (talk) 05:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Deleted some advertising from the 1990s rock section: text was presumably added by the member of a band trying to get some publicity, but it didn't even come close to being appropriate. 152.78.64.180 (talk) 16:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey Giggy, A few months ago you removed the Wiggles section, with an edit summary saying something to the effect of, "Don't worry, it's coming back." I didn't worry about it because I figured that you had an idea/plan for them and realized their inclusion was not in the best possible place. Its been a few months now, and you haven't added them back. While they may be a kids group, I do think they deserve a section in this article. We have an FA for them. They've won several ARIAs. They are the most successful Australian muscial group ever. Now, I acknowledge that I'm not that invested in this article, and understand that their inclusion can be problematic (they aren't really a rock group), so I'm asking you and the other editors here for thoughts on how to include them.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 14:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Oh dear, I've really slowed down to a halt on this article. I've probably got a pile up of pages in my userspace working on it. =\ Feel free to add any Wiggles stuff you want in; I'll try and throw together my "good" copy one of these days... Sorry about that. —Giggy 15:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Why do I hear that "oh dear" is in the voice of a specific pirate?---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 19:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- I must confess to having grown up with Captain Feathersword. :-) —Giggy 06:16, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't think it was coincidence... it's not a phrase I've seen you use before ;-) ---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 07:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Third Wave
The third wave section sucks... it really needs to be trimmed down. There are lists of "business" managers which goes on forever. Similarly, the list of bands needs to be trimmed. If you want to have a list of bands/music managers, fine, but let's take them out of the article. As is, that section (which isn't the only one) is unlegible because it has too many lists. Create true lists and remove them from the article.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 05:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Double
There were two Abramelin and Break Even's down the bottom in the list of Heavy Metal/Hard Rock and Hardcore bands, so I've removed one of each so that there's only one of each. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.29.179 (talk) 03:39, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm in the US and was curious if The Eurogliders and/or Frente! warranted a mention on your page. They both enjoyed a brief bit of airplay & success over here, but I was wondering if they'd been overlooked or intentionally left off of your page (based on my incorrect assumption that they were a big deal in Oz).

Australian heavy metal
come on guys weres the Australian heavy metal in this article. we have a killer heavy metal scene, Brisbane Melborne, South Australia and Western Australia have killer scenes. fuck the hardcore shit talk aboutthe real heavy music.
- I don't think the heavy metal scene in Australia is really that notable, in the grand scheme of things. I can't think of any Aussie heavy metal bands that've garnered world attention. So I don't think it's that relevant. Michaelterren (talk) 13:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Music of Australia
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Music of Australia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:58, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
