Personal Note: An intriguing band of the 70s and not afraid to embrace the glam rock makeup and bravado. Only listened to this album earlier this year for the first time and definitely is for its time. Not to say it's bad to listen to now, but I would be shocked to see a student of mine in year 9 listening to this. Unless his parents did. Maybe.

This is a cool thing you're doing. I'll use these threads as a resource for great Australian albums. Keep it up!

Thanks for the appreciation.

Skyhooks was one I initially left out of my list for this month but after seeing Red Symons on TV the other night, I had to add it. Just to see the glam again!
