There is more than one artist by the name of Paul Kelly:
1) an Australian singer-songwriter, based in Melbourne, and widely considered as an icon of Australian music.
2) an American soul singer best known for the 1970 hit “Stealing in the Name of the Lord”.

1. Paul Kelly is an Australian singer-songwriter, based in Melbourne, and widely considered as an icon of Australian music. He has released music under his own name and as Paul Kelly and The Messengers, Paul Kelly and The Coloured Girls, and Paul Kelly and The Stormwater Boys. His output has ranged from bluegrass to studio-oriented dub reggae, but his core output comfortably straddles folk, rock, and even some country. His lyrics, simply and laconically voiced, have managed to speak to Australian experiences and history perhaps more broadly and directly than any other artist.

2. Paul Kelly, born June 19, 1940 in Miami, Florida, is an American soul singer. He is best known for the song “Stealing in the Name of the Lord”, which was a hit in 1970.

    Wipqozn - you should have opened with Cloud Control and the Middle East, most people would have stopped listening after you listed the first 5 acts. Sure they may be solid bands, but in the grand scheme of things they are going to do nothing for the Aussie music scene.

    Birds of Tokyo, Trial Kennedy, Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, Gyroscope, The Temper Trap, Whitley, Children Collide, Angus and Julia Stone, Paul Dempsey, Sparkadia, The Middle East, Cog, Cloud Control. They're my favorites right now, so many more I like and so many more I am keen to listen to. I know this is completely subjective and you probably don't like most of them but you can't say there isn't any good Australian music, must not be look hard enough...or at all
