JET

I have the feeling this band isn't generally known to everyone so I hope some of you guys like them

Jet is an Australian band that are widly covered in this wikipedia article, I'm sure not a person who reads this is going to click on the link but here it is anyway: Wiki jet

So let me be brief about the facts: They have 2 albums.

and

As for their music I'd say: Beatles, Oasis, AC/DC, T-Rex, The Sweet, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones influences.
Great rock and roll sounds often mingle with sensitive and alternative music.
For example:
Rock and roll !

Slow and relaxing:

I like their sound =) I hope you guys do too... and if not, they are a great band to introduce your girl to

Also: I love the song "kings horses" or "kings horse"
I only found this stupid white vid on youtube with the song playing. If you are up for it:

Jet are ok, but not for me. IMO there's plenty of better Australian music out there.

I had bought Get Born.

My favorite song from that disc.

**eberg15101** · 12-02-2009, 11:28 PM

I liked Get Born a lot, but anything new I have heard I have really hated, I don't believe I've heard anything off Shaka Rock though, so I can't comment on that
I did think Shine On kind of sucked

I love the video to "Look What You've done" mixing animation like that wiht real people is so cool lol

I have Get Born but haven't heard anything after that.

I think both albums in my OP are worth the listen... after that it's a matter of taste..

Never liked them. Kinda annoying :/

Back in 2003 Jet along with The Darkness are two bands that REALLY got me into music. They gave me hope for the future of rock music.

Just discovered this thread. I love this retro band!! Who said that 60s-70s rock and roll is dead? I first heard them on Get Born and it was love at first hearing. "Look What You've Done" of course is the song that caught my attention. I have both Get Born and Shine On and love both. I bought the new Shaka Rock but have not yet received it. Can't wait!!

I forgot to mention that I have "thing" for Aussie bands.

...After reading Annie's post I might have to check this band out.

Not one of the worst bands out there of their genre.....along with Screaming Jets, Baby Animals, etc

I didn't like a lot of the retro sounding bands that came out like The Strokes but these guys were so catchy I forgave the fact that they were just an AC/DC revivalist band.

Not only AD/DC, they have tunes reminiscent of other bands as well. As I have posted before, I don't care if a band is derivative, if I like their sound, that is all that matters.

A fine example of an Acca Dacca revival band would be Airbourne, Jet aren't even close to AC/DC IMO. However, they do have a good sound, I just don't like the lead singer very much. I feel the same way about them as Magic feels about Into The Moment

Also, all Jet fans should have a look at my Powderfinger thread

Good to see this band getting some attention..
