    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.

    Deep Purple are one of my favourable bands. 

    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
    7. Speed King
    8. Strange Kind of Woman
    9. Burn
    10. You Fool No One
    11. Getting Tighter
    12. Might Just Take Your Life
    13. Stormbringer

    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!

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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
