Touche... 

Number 5 is The Grateful Dead (I think?)

Grateful Dead is correct.  One more to go.

Deep Purple...

3. Deep Purple ?

Deep Purple it is.  Thank you linespeople, thank you ballkids and goodnight.

Thanks @demonstone, I do get very very enthusiastic about somewhat cryptic music trivia.

The beauty of music is the influence is subjective - it's beautiful, anthematic, seminal, or meaningful for the listener. 

I'll try to nut one out tomorrow - love this stuff.

I was desperately searching for a link from Cowton to Crazy Horse. I even read most of the Wiki article on the native American chief of the same name!

Unfortunately Gary was a bit before my time. ?

Thanks ds, it was very interesting.

Even though I'm Deez through and through, I used to love watching Cow-Town play footy. There were some real characters in the 1977 Norf side.

You left out "Smoke On The Water".  I suspect this was not an oversight!   

If I had to choose just the one Deep Purple song, I'd probably go for "Highway Star".

Assuming the answer is neither "black sheep" nor "Batman",  the only connection I can make in my mind is the song "David Watts" which was written by Ray Davies and recorded by The Kinks and later covered by The Jam (with Bruce Foxton singing rather than usual singer/front man Paul Weller).

As for the rest of the puzzle .... NFI I'm afraid.  I think you'll stump many of us with this one, EO.

"Lazy" would be mine...nice take on a minor blues.

Make mine" Lazy" as well. Has to be played at 11, though. Even has a bit of harp, if I recall correctly. Might have to go and play it to make sure that's correct. Sorry, neighbours!

Is it Paul Weller?

You could be right here: David Watts, Walls Come Tumbling Down...

No! It's got Britpop in it! Noel, Damon and Liam!

3. Deep Purple (sorry a bit late)

It turns out Ian Gillan was a keen Aussie Rules fan and on stage, would sing these words until the other guys in the band made him write more "bluesy" ones for the recorded version.

Lazy
Don't want to spread
Lazy
Don't want to spread
Don't run two ways, want Joe the Goose instead
