Oh, I've got tons. First up, the other Australian band, the Church -- rockin' just as much as the AccaDaccas, but totally different vibe. If you like this, go out and grab the album, Starfish, lots of great stuff on it:
Next, a band that inspired them -- Television. Criminally underrated, poetic lyrics, beautiful guitar interplay, a great mix of classicism and punk attitude. This is from their debut and has one of my favorite guitar solos ever at about 1:45, m'boy Richard Lloyd playing like he's about to fall off'n his skateboard:
On to something criminally underrated outside guitarist circles -- Friday Night in San Francisco, a collaboration of Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia, recorded live in 1981. Three guitarists, no bullshit.This opening cut features Al and Paco (I think John's out grabbing a bong hit or something):
