The Rock Education Thread

[MWebb]

Its interesting to travel the net and met new and diverse people. The one thing that I have noticed is the lack of Australian banRAB on the international boarRAB.

with the exception of AC/DC there is little known of the Australian Hard Rock BanRAB of the 70's and early 80's

BanRAB like "the Angels" were an Australian revolution and even toured with a little known band called AC/DC in 1975, it was malcom and angus and bon scott who got the angels their first record deal with "Alberts" and produced by Vanda and Young.

first single was a classic called "am I ever gonna see your face again" which is now a classic pub rock anthem.

other banRAB include Cold Chisel with Jummy Barnes as lead singer though I think the world knows more about Jummy than Chisel. Yet a Chisel song "Khe Sahn" was voted australian song of the millenium.

that said its great to learn about the overseas banRAB that are not released in Australia as well.

great thread.
hope to learn more

Wow that was really well done, I really like the fact that although the Beatles were well talked about, The Rolling Stones were given basically equal credit for different reasons.

I think these threaRAB were a very good idea.
