Down under, undoubtedly Cold Chisel. Id barely heard of them before coming over here 10 years ago but they (and 'Barnesey' are revered as rock royalty in Oz). Other than Khe Sanh they are decidedly average IMO. I think they were that huge at home they didnt really try and break out abroad, which is strange as some of their compatriots like Inxs were selling out Wembley around this time.
In the UK I would give you The Jam and the Stone Roses - Roses are known abroad to varying degrees, but nowhere near the same adulation and hype they received all over the UK at that time, they really were a phenomenon. The Mondays were bigger in the US and abroad from memory. The Jam are barely recognised overseas for some reason.
In the US, theres guff like the Dave Mathews band which is really quite popular over there but thankfully nowhere else.
