Brian Johnson wouldnt of had a look in if Bon hadn't of died. I'm not sure the band would have continued with Bon still there, he'd have got LSD (lead singer disease) and the whole thing would have imploded.....I might be wrong of course, this is just me, the humble outsider looking in. Edit: I came to that view after watching Blood and Thunder (the doco about Alberts) Edited January 10, 2018 by Peter the Greek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarrum78 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Meh, instead of my ears I'll use the worlds' If influencing an entire genre of music is important, then best of lists should include: The Church - Starfish The Saints - I'm stranded AC/DC - TNT The Easybeats - Easy The Atlantics - Bombora Cant say I've heard many bands from overseas mention The Oils as an influence.

Bon did need help. But I have a feeling that if he got it, he'd lose what he was and pull out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_mike Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Los Cabrones are a Melbourne jazz outfit that spend most of their time working in Europe, so not so well known at home. Excellent musos, their self titled album is a ripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclemack Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not sure if it’s the best ( don’t know how to qualify that accolade) but it’s probably my favourite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frednork Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Matt Finish- Short Note. Bare bones production. Great songs. Generally overlooked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally overlooked I always preferred follow-up album Word Of Mouth myself, but I don't have a copy and it's a bugger to find. Conversely you can get Short Note on CD new for about $7 from JB's. --Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected. I always thought Dragon was an Australian band. It wouldn’t be the first time a kiwi has been claimed as Australian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think Born Sandy Devotional by The Triffids is the best Australian record of all time and had a very clear idea of the next dozen or so but after a decade of listening to this it is pushing its way into my favourites at close to the top Corrina Steele’s Wayward not only does she have a great voice but she knows how to sing which is not always the case Best country music or if you are a young person Americana record ever made in Australia Some other stuff from this century would be Hurstville by Jack Ladder Calendar Days by Dick Diver Shakespeare Hotel by Halfway Sometimes I Sit and Think Sometimes I Just Sit By Courtney Barnett Push The Sky Away Nick Cave Takes decades of living with a record or band to really know how good they are but these ones I think will be there for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
