Barry Alan Crompton Gibb is a British singer, songwriter and record producer who rose to worldwide fame as a co-founder of the group Bee Gees, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed groups in the history of popular music. This list is about AUSTRALIAN singers, not about singers from England or any other country. If you can't read the title of this list, then it's time to have your eyes tested! The Bee Gees - Barry, Robin & Maurice - all born and bred in ENGLAND!
Yes, he's part of The Bee Gees & The Bee Gees were ALL born in ENGLAND! It's not rocket science!
Yeah, he's ENGLISH - NOT AUSTRALIAN, nor are any of his brothers. He and his brothers lived in Australia for a while and then returned to the UK. FACT!
Barry Gibb is NOT AUSTRALIAN.

He was a founding member, lead singer and lyricist of rock band INXS from 1977 until his death in 1997. Michael Hutchence should be a lot higher on this list probably even number 1. No other singer from austrailia really has as versitile and solid a voice that he had and he was a great songwriter too. INXS certainly should have stayed broken up after he died.

I am so extremely surprised that she wasn't already in this list. She is actually a Goddess trapped in the body of a woman. Her voice kills. - calmilligan
