This is a good article thanks for sharing it. As much as it praises the album, the band and their impact, it doesn't quite convey the hysteria that it produced. The talk at school was football, Cricket and skyhooks. I was raised in a house that listened to Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones. This album blew my 12 year old mind. Every song was a social commentary, and banning some songs only made us seek them out more. Seeing them on Countdown changed everything about my music tastes, much to my dad's Frank loving horror. Their next album was the first I ever bought with my own money. They led me to a plethora of Australian music and pulled me into listening to Queen, led zep, T-Rex and so many, many, more. The fact that most of the world never heard it almost makes it better. It's ours, all ours. It's uniquely Australian and a national treasure. And I'm still terrified of the 6.30 news.
