spit Enz were only Kiwi's till they got good, then we claimed them as ours of course...
there seems to be a couple of rather large 70's elephants in the room missing from this list though... mick 'n keefe? doobie bros? CSN and sometimes Y, Alman Bros are fave of mine. Did we miss Cocker? Clapton? (pre ponce) Rod Stewart? (ditto) Elton John? the poetry of Paul Simon?
It is my firmly held belief that the music industry reached a zenith circa 1974, and after that the bean counters and other various parasites and handbrakes go involved in 'directing' musicians and poets. It has never ben the same since. What a shame.
Edit: sorry folks... way off topic....
