^ I agree. Many of my favourite bands hail from that period. :)

Great to see archival footage of John Bissett and Mick Jurd - their performances the previous year for the Levi Smith's Clefs' album "Empty Monkey" set the aspirational standards for legions of Australian musicians.

This version of "Seasons of Change" is a bit clunky (not a criticism - just a comment on the production values) and that (and the singing) probably explains why the Blackfeather version (on which Scott also played the recorder) was the big hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLBZn_YVQV8

For some reason (I suppose they were on the charts around the same time?), I always associate this song in my mind with Healing Force's "Golden Miles": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HpxiPsxm9s

I'm always (genuinely) interested in why people specify date ranges like this - and even more interested in what the range means to them - so, why 1965, MM - is it the Spencer Davis Group and the Who, or maybe Rubber Soul or "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", or the Byrds, Otis, the Small Faces, Bert Jansch, Highway 61 Revisited etc? 1965 was certainly a break-out year for new directions in music.

Also, what was it about 1984: David Lee Roth leaving Van Halen - or something else, perhaps the Flying Lizards disbanding? Or did you just have to draw a line through everything when Building the Perfect Beast was released? :lol:

Putting aside The Beatles and the Stones for a moment, I think of 1964 as marking a distinct break between "old" and "new" - specifically the sounds created by bands like the Animals on "House of the Rising Sun", The Kinks on "You Really Got Me" and the Zombies on "She's Not There". (Happy 50th anniversary to all of them!)

But, even so, when I try to find "dividing" lines, I get right back to 1948 and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6UjsecPXQ0

Where would modern music have headed if Muddy and "Big" Crawford had not recorded this duet? Muddy's recordings from the late 40's and through the 50's, Little Walter and Otis Spann (with and without Muddy), Ray Charles' recordings on Atlantic, Howling Wolf, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, everything Willie Dixon wrote and played on, Otis Rush. Without them, no "British Invasion", no Jimi, no Cream and (probably) no Megadeth. Personally, I couldn't have got through 1990 without this riff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71ww3XH4zEg

Or, to make the transition a little more obvious (and cue back to ACDC, who I confess I don't much care for), here's "Baby, Please Don't Go" as released in 1953, 1964, 1974 and 2004:
