Best Bands from New Zealand

The Top Ten
1 Split Enz

The quality and quantity of the Finn brothers song writing puts all other NZ bands in the shade.

2 Shihad

They're an amazing band, great live!

3 Crowded House

So awesome what a band
one of the few bands that could do alternative stuff and still be considered "Lovely" by 40 year old mums everywhere

This band produced timeless song after timeless song that stand the test of time.

Can't put Shihad ahead of Crowded House, Crowded House have a way more epic history.

4 Tall Dwarfs

You have missed some amazing music if you are not familiar with these bands

5 Supergroove
6 Fat Freddy's Drop
7 Th' Dudes

Can't believe this needed to be added, musical gold for that time

8 Elemeno P

Awesome band, check out 'Urban Getaway', makes me feel good whenever I hear it.

9 The Skeptics
10 Flight of the Conchords

Such a great comedic duo. they even got their own Tv show!

The Contenders
11 Evermore

Dude there new single is great underground YEAAA

12 Six60

The greatest NZ artists of all time. Absolutely cracked it, cracked the New Zealand summer, cracked being a kiwi. To sell out 50,000. No other New Zealander could get close. I was there and I have never felt anything like that before. WOW.

13 Exponents
14 The Naked & Famous
15 Steriogram
16 Dragon
17 OMC

Some Songs Are Awesome

18 The Mutton Birds

I am really shocked that The Mutton Birds are so low. Dominion Road and Anchor Me are probably in the the top 20 New Zealand anthems and others like Nature and the Heater are not far behind. Maybe not many New Zealanders have voted on this list.
