Let there be no doubt - CC was and is huge in Australian music.

Far more commercial than MO, this is why they are both so loved, and in the same breath, not given their due artistically.

In my very humble opinion, Ian Moss remains one of the most underrated vocalists in Australian Rock music.

Cheers,
Jeff

Possibly the Australian band that started it all was The Easybeats.  From memory _Friday on my Mind_ was voted the No1 song of the last 50 years or something.  Yeah here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APRA_Top_30_Australian_songs
 
As for Chisel, fine band - great live.  Oils and Chisel started the same time, Chisel made it 'big' ion Oz before the Oils.  At one stage, the Oils were support band for Chisel eg at Dapto Leagues.
