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.

  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

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
