I was a major Oils fan for years - I saw them live, and at one time owned all of their output, including b-sides and rarities. I sort of "peaked" on it around 1996, and have not been a rabid fan since - but they are still a great band to listen to.
The mix of anthemic rock, multi-guitar attack, surf-music sensibilities, Peter Garrett's overwhelming presence and the almost laughably leftist Aussie-political lyrics is very entertaining. Any other Oils fans here? What are your faves from them?
P.S. Back in the mid-90s, I actually participated in an e-mail-based discussion digest called "Powderworks". Believe it or not, I was Doc Sarvis there too. Any other powderworkers still around on head-fi?
