And a couple more...

One of my favourite Japanese bands The Blue Hearts and a song called "Linda Linda" (there is a rather good Japanese movie of the same name based around this song - about an all girl band in a high school talent show performing the same song). On a side note, a band I was in used to confuse pub patrons when we played this song:

And my favourite Radiohead song "Karma Police":

How good are Radiohead? Karma Police is one of the few songs I can still remember how to play on guitar. Awesome tune.

I've got a friend in Japan with a Led Zeppelin cover band, Duesenberg. I can't say that I've ever heard them live but their original on youtube ain't too bad.

And here's a few from the 60's inspired The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I'd say they're a fairly underrated group. Probably best known for their association with The Dandy Warhols and the documentary Dig!. The doco was less than complementary to the band, but it's still worth a watch.

A couple from me:

Brian Setzer Orchestra (former Stray Cats foray into big band rockabilly - and these guys seriously rock! - imho of course):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncrILTdBywo

The Fratellis "Henrietta" of their Costello Music CD... a fun band who, for some reason, remind me a little of Blur"

Nice to have you on board 'hardtack' . I like your music and you've certainly added another dimension to this thread .

Keep posting and cheers .

I've been going through a 90s phase over the last couple of weeks. These are a couple of my favourites:

How good was Live's Throwing Copper. The Dam On Otter Creek is an amazing song. They convey a real drama and tension. Phenomenal stuff.

They remind me of another band 90's band that started well and then slowly petered out, the Gin Blossoms. There's a sad story behind the guy that wrote this song.

I actually thought I'd posted this song before. Have I? I'm starting to lose track.

This is the 1st track from The Rolling Stones 1972 classic album "Exile on Main St" . A brilliant album and arguably their best . This song is underrated IMO . Slide show only .

Macca 6.0 (battling away , keeping the thread on topic!)

A great song and a great clip from Shihad.

From memory I think they were trying to break into the US market around the time of 9/11. They decided that their name sounded too similar to jihad, which they thought may have impeded their chances in the US, so they changed their name to Pacifier, the title of this song. Not that it did them any good.

I thought to myself that I should have a crack at the changes for next week, while I had a heightened sense of problem solving.

Then I sat down, collected all the relevant information, and realised what I was up against.

I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Special mention to Macca (Nuggets) for the great thread and Nascent for putting me on to Protest the Hero.

no worries mate, it's always good to discover new music...

Nascent 1.4

A good progressive band with a story arc over 5 albums

Nascent 1.5

something a bit heavier, but one of my favourite bands going around atm (warning for those with delicate ears:contains a mix of singing and screaming)

Vale Jim Niven... superb keyboardist and a lost friend:

Sad to hear about Jim , hardtack .

I remember seeing Captain Matchbox at the 'Royal Oak' in Richmond in late 1976 (?) . They were great fun . Pots were a dollar each and I think "free" for the Ladies . My date drank me under the table ! Vaguely remember trying to do the 'Twist' on the dance floor .

Also saw 'The Sports' a few times back in the day . Probably at the 'Prozzie' in Kew or 'The Bloke' in Bulleen . Might have been the 'Village Green' . Memory is a bit hazy ! Great times and great days . Here's one more from each band ...........

Fairly sure Jim features at the end of both these songs . With the same ending .

Thanks for those Macca. I used to live just around the corner from Capt Matchbox in 1972 when I was studying at Swinburne and living in Mayston Stree in East Hawthorn (they were living above a shop near Camberwell Station) and always enjoyed going to see them play at places like the Much More Ballroom. Used to see the Sports regularly at the Kingston Hotel in West Richmond and the London Tavern in South Caulfield where they had a weekly residency. I first knew Jim when he was getting around with a girl I shared a house with in South Caulfield and then later after I moved to Sydney, we played together in a few makeshift bands. Great guy and a brilliant musician.

I've been listening to some 80's mixes, a bit of nostalgia. The thing that really stands out for me in how other worldy Pink Floyds efforts are. Whenever they popup it just blows me away how good they were, particularly comparing them to popular music of the same time.

But as I've posted a few of theirs already I'll put up something different (I think it's different, can't remember if it's been posted previously).

We all know the great guitarists like Clapton, Hendrix, Townsend and Page, so I thought I'd throw in a couple of lesser known lights, who I consider to be among the best:

Bill Nelson from Be Bop Deluxe (featured no less than bass player Charlie Tumahali formerly of the Australasian band Healing Force):

Crying to the Sky:

and former Fleetwood Mac guitarist (when they were a decent band) Peter Green:

End of the Game (if you can get your head around the free form approach, this playing is simply unbelievably good):

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
