Classic OZ rock

A rather interesting cover of a Kinks song.

I saw him do that at Countdown 2 about 3 years back, transvestite garb and all. Those shows were a decent trip down memory lane.

Have to be careful not to drift away too far from rock into new wave and pop in threads like these I reckon. I almost posted a Eurogliders clip and thought better of it.

It's always a fine line between pop and rock. Bands like the Models are probably borderline between pop and rock. Back in the 80s they might have been viewed more as pop but they would probably be viewed as more rock now, mainly by virtue of being able to write and play their own music.

Pop today is manufactured artists using autotune and backing tapes to record music written for them by someone else, ie. Katy Perry, Keisha, anyone from the Idol/X factor shows etc.
 
Ha, was gonna post that one but thought it was stretching the notion of "classic" a bit far.

Ah it wasn't too bad. I forgot it was an Aussie song.

That's been the best bit about this thread so far. Finding out some songs i didn't know were actually Aussie creations.

Love that version of Eleanor Rigby. Was considering posting Darryl Cotton's 'Same Old Girl' as well but didn't know how tainted he had become by working with Marty the Monster!

It didn't taint Shirl working with a crow so I reckon Darryl gets a pass.

The bigger question is does Rick Springfield(who's in that film clip) get a pass for Jessie's Girl?

Nah, he had gone to the US by then hadn't he?

Saw him at Countdown 2 as well. Very American.
