Yup you couldn't be more right. Silverchair was kind of dismissed as a post grunge Nirvana rip off, but they evolved into so much more than that. Diorama was their crowning achievement I think.

You must easily be the biggest John Mayer fan on this site. Even though I'm not a big fan of him, I must say overall I like the chart. Lots of nice picks here. Doesn't hurt to be different.
