okay, now we're getting serious. A group that I loved as a teenager was The Loved Ones. They influenced a whole generation with their powerful songs (Everlovin' Man etc)

Another uniquely Australian sound was The Atlantics , with their legendary Bombora and Flight of the Surf Guitar.

These two embody for me the energy, creativity and wildness of the music that influenced a generation of kids. The content of the music may not be political, but its impact was, and it is a truly Australian sound.
