[About Bon Scott]
Angus Young: He had lined up a couple of bottles of bourbon, some dope, somebody put speed somewhere. I said to Malcolm "If this guy can walk let alone sing it's going to be something!"

Featured review
As good as far as it goes...
I know this series received a lot of flak from Australiana music affectionales for neglecting to mention a lot of definitive Aussie talent: Australian Crawl, Icehouse, Renne Geyer, Richard Clapton, James Reyne, Crowded House. The wide coverage of the series, however, was always ambitious at best - spanning some 40 years - that even from the onset it could not be expected to satisfy everyone. Perhaps though, in the series insistence upon the unique development of Australian music, it may have favoured those bands who 'kicked goals' overseas, at the expense of bands that were truly great and respected at home. All I know is, I found it great to see all that old footage, and for the limited number of artistes who were featured, I learnt something. A noble attempt.
