Nic declared group up there with greats

During a show at the MCG in October 2005, Nic declared that he considered his group to be “up there with the greatests, with fucking Lennon and the Stones.” This caused controversy but was settled when Australian music magazines began publishing articles comparing Jet’s albums with those of famous 1960s and 1970s bands. Get Born is listed at No. 89 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums (October 2010). The authors described it as “free of the neurotic self-examination that passes for meaningful songwriting in the post-Nirvana era.”
