wana know what bands have made an impact on your life...

[JupiterCreek]

I'm 52 years old, so I haven't heard of a lot of the newer bands mentioned. One of the posts mentions "old time punk"... that'd have to be Chris Bailey and The Saints or maybe Nick Cave wouldn't it?

I grew up in Adelaide, so locals bands were Chisel, Swannee, LRB, Moonshine Jug and String Band who became the Keystone Angels then The Angels. I was a teenager in the 70's so it was all the music of that era... Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Who, Yes, Yardbirds, Doobies, Jackson Browne, Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, ELO, Queen, 10CC... all that stuff... plus Clapton, Dire Straits, World Party, Eurythmics, Geldoff, Blockheads, Police, Alice Cooper etc. More recently I'm impressed by Keith Urban, The Waifs, Mia Dyson, and others.

When my stepson played me Wolfmother's first CD I thought Deep Purple or Ronnie James Dio had released new material! ;-)
