Friday On My Mind Easybeats
The Loved Ones. Almost anything they did.
My cousin has been an AC/DC fan since about 1978, and he was blown away when I sent him a link to a clip of this catchy song. Almost, but not quite, akin to the transformation of “Four Lovely Lads” to “Spinal Tap.”
With ***The Loved One ***being just about the best of all.
“Georgie Girl,” what else?
Masters Apprentices, Because I Love You.
I really wish I could say Chain’s Black and Blue, but I have the feeling it misses being sixties by a year or so.
Jeff St John and the Id with Big Time Operator:
I prefer Sun Arise
All the Masters Apprentices stuff. When I was managing a band about 1980 I used to regularly meet Jim Keays at the agency office as he had his own band with the same agents. We’d sit around and chat. One day I asked him, “When you with the Masters Apprentices you were offered the chance to tour with the Stones and knocked it back. Why was that?”
He replied, “We were a far better band than the Stones but we would have had people heckling us because that’s what audiences did to support acts then. And we weren’t going to put up with that.”
Many of the Easybeats songs.
The Real Thing by Russell Morris.
Poison Ivy by Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs
I saw a clip of some band doing ‘Build Me Up Buttercup.’ Lead singer was having panties flung at him. Bon Scott in a flowy shirt with puffy sleeves singing backup made me laugh a lot. Who dat Aussies?
Another great one - Bombora by The Atlantics. Great early surf music.
