Dogger,

never been to Canada [yet], but heard some great bands from there - Mahogany Rush and if Frank Marino isn't one of the all-time guitar legends, I don't know why not...

Saw Rush in Scotland a few years back..awesome

As for the US what about Frank Zappa? A genius and very underated.

REM are one of my favourites, but up to and before Green. Some of the later stuff does not do much for me. Their earliest days were the best....Seen them 3 times too...

A few from Canada, Gordie Lightfoot ain't that bad if your in the mood for folk. Nickleback not to bad but overplayed. Guess Who from a while back of course the Hip. Although not together to long liked the Barstool Prophits. Cool name

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me.

lived in the uk for quite a few years and had a mate that always told me that joke because I was into them at the time.

didn't mean to offend, I'm sure Bolan wouldn't give a shit.

no offence taken, & certainly none intended, yard.

Only mentioned it cause I too spent a long time over there...went down to the spot one miserable sleety grey London day. Well, that could have been a summer's day, actually.

My current partner was unpacking a box of her old shit a while back , I was amazed at how many TV Week/RAM/Juke posters of Bolan she had kept for 20+ years.
And of course also Sherbet, Hooks, Supernaut, ACDC, TMG, Rabbit...ooh yeah she rocks this woman. Good thing she became a punk rocker at 17.

Not underated in my books John. I rate him right up there with the Frank Black from the Pixies.
genius!!

Was down at the Queenscliff Music Festival on the weekend (same place I saw Rose Tattoo a couple of years back).

Jimi Hocking ( http://www.jimihocking.com ) was playing.

Absolutely fantastic. If you ever get the chance, do yourself a favor. He plays around Melbourne a bit, so keep an eye out. Next time he's at the Elsternwick Hotel, I'll be there.

(Jimi's dad is a composer. He wrote the Countdown theme. Remember it ... Da da da da da da da da Countdoooooooown.

Jimi Hocking,
Former Screaming Jet from the middle era of the bands history.
And damn fine muso as Olly points out.

Aaahh, Jimi the Human.

I only saw him with the Jets, and only on a couple of occasions, but he came with a towering rep...

Now they (the SJ's) were a 90's staple... them and the Baby Animals... stood at Suze DeMarchi's feet on a number of occasions, back in the days when "Waves" was the Wollongong band spot...

also saw the Eagles at Wembley in 96.

turned out loads better than i expected, i wasn't a big fan so i was pleasantly suprised.

the support guy was bloody good as well, Kenny someone ?....

cheers
