LeeBB Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi everyone! I hope you like my list. I tried hard to make it a nice level playing field, so I left out pretty much all of the BIG names. It should go without saying that my personal faves include stuff from teh Beatles, Stones, Dylan, S&G, CCR, the Who, etc, but I made a conscious decision to leave out songs and acts that feature heavily in the main Songfactors' Top Tens. I'm hoping that most of what remains is reasonably new to you, but should give you a real taste of how I see the music world from my born-in-Australia-in-the-sixties perspective. Anyway, please enjoy the playlist. I've had it on high rotation at work, and what do you know.. I like it! Se ya, LBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I know all of five songs on that list......I will be doing a lot of listening this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) I loved it! Fantastic, Laurie! Sherbet are a bit of a sad story. They were far and away the most popular band in Australia in the mid-70s (yes, even more than AC/DC), but they have somehow been expunged from our cultural memory, and you will never hear them played now even on "classic" radio unless they are doing a bad-taste-70s schtick. I really don't know why. At the time, though, Summer Love was the biggest selling song ever in Australia (Hey Jude was number 2). I love it too, L.

LeeBB Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I think I know the answer to Q.6 6. Which two are written by "Flash and the Pan"?Evie & Yesterday's Hero Oh, very very good. And I guess that means you know which one was written by Stevie Wright. Of course, some of us do have a born advantage in this quiz. Now, have you picked the two (possibly three) songs that feature Robert Quine on guitar? Thanks heaps, Lee.
