If you read the thread, there is plenty of artists that aren't bands.

[Madtiger2006]

Surprised to see that recording known to someone in Australia. I have not heard it myself ever, nor is it often listed as a major part of the rock canon, but it was on Joe S. Harrington’s Top 100 Albums, a list I respect for what it showed about the music accessible to someone in suburban Melbourne where people could basically not listen to anything outside of commercial radio.

I have that one. Have the albums with Robert Calvert. Love astounding music. Also have Levitaton which is cool. Don't like them before 76 though. Compositions just sound too amateur but warrior album isn't bad although it sounds more like 1970 than 75
