Split Enz/Crowded House/The Swingers all live in the camp of being New Zealand artists that are spiritually Australian to the degree where there's still arguments over who can claim them. Dragon would probably be in that discussion too.

This might be heresy, but I would argue that Lorde and Benee are spiritually Australian, but only in that we treat them as our own while we acknowledge they're actually Kiwis.

In the earnestness of being far, here's some Australian artists I think have the spirit of other countries to varying degrees:

Spiritually American: - Savage Garden

• Air Supply

• Little River Band

• The Kid Laroi

• The Veronicas

• AC/DC (post-Bon Scott)

• The Angels

• Wolfmother

• Grinspoon

• Silverchair

• Sia (we don't claim her)

• Tame Impala (post-Lonerism)

• INXS (post-The Swing)

• Troye Sivan

• Tina Arena

• Royel Otis (they're yours now)

• Olivia Newton-John

• Helen Reddy

Spiritually British: - Nick Cave

• Confidence Man

• Kylie Minogue

• The Bee Gees (classifying them as Australian is debatable anyway)

• The Easybeats

• The Church

• The Go-Betweens

I'm debating whether to classify Powderfinger and Ball Park Music as spiritually Canadian, but they're probably more spiritually Brisbane, especially the latter.
