Jason, yeah mate, they certainly are talented musicians, with a unique style. Speaking of talented musicians, Jim Croce was one of the best, sadly died in a plane crash in 1973. Jim Croce...Time In A Bottle And of course some talented musicians don't receive the recognition they...

Yes Kev, it was mainly about the effects of that war on an Aussie Vet, being released 7 years after the majority of Aussie troops had left Vietnam. Not sure why Khe Sanh is featured as it was a US Marine controlled area, maybe to make the song more attractive to Americans as the band was trying...

Kev, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of Don Walker, same as the band he played in 'Cold Chisel'. They did not achieve success in the overseas market despite Cold Chisel being the most famous band in Australia, Cold Chisel are even more famous here than INXS and AC/DC etc. The band only...

As you may know, Clapton covered heaps of J J Cale songs, made a lot of money out of them.

True, but great to see this Bus still soldiers on in 1:24 from Sun Star, and prototype 1:1 scale: Skip to 2:12 on this video;

Kev, I do like orchestration but I only have a few prog rock songs on my playlist including Queen of course. There's some great kettle drum and sax action in this Aussie 80's tune, this was back in the day when there were actual corner shops everywhere in Australia. Now gone, together with...

If you like the Tool sound Kev, maybe check out Progressive Rock bands here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_progressive_rock_artists#T

Sorry, not PC, I meant PA for Panzer Ace.

I like them PC, new band to me. Now it's Tool Time ;) TOOL...Schism
