The Easybeats
This Aussie band only had one US/UK hit, "Friday on My Mind", but was considered Australia's Beatles...and they were fantastic. They deserved to have more that just that one hit.
They were blessed with a charismatic front man in Stevie Wright, and the great songs of guitarists Harry Vanda and George Young.
Go here to read more about them.
Clip one is a live take of "Friday on My Mind". I hate to go for the obvious, but when the obvious is this good, why not?
Clip two is lip sync of "Good Time" from German TV. A great song later covered by INXS and Jimmy Barnes. This track apparently had Paul McCartney calling the radio station to hear it again after one play.
Clip three is a great ballad called "Hello How Are You". The audio isn't that great, but the song is so good I had to include it...how did this not become a hit?
Tomorrow....some post-Easybeats clips from Wright, Vanda and Young.
