I'll make it four if you give somebody else a go!  :D

Touche... 

 

Number 5 is The Grateful Dead (I think?)


 

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.

Machine Head is IMHO one of the best albums of all time.

Favourite songs:

  1. Hush
  2. Highway Star
  3. Lazy
  4. Never before (very underrated)
  5. Space Trucking
  6. My Woman from Tokyo

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

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!

 

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

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
