The Go-Betweens were an influential indie rock band from Australia, active from 1977 to 1989, and again from 2000 to 2006. Founded by Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, the band was known for its literate lyrics and melodic pop sensibility. Their distinctive sound, characterized by jangling guitars and introspective songwriting, has been widely influential in the indie rock genre. Notable albums include "16 Lovers Lane" and "Tallulah", which helped cement their place in music history.
