The Easybeats 'Absolute Anthology 1965-1969' (1980, 1986)
What can be said about Australia's mighty Easybeats? That George Young and Stevie Wright were amazing songwriters worthy of Paul and John/Mick and Keith distinction? Only to be further equaled by George Young and Harry Vanda? The liner notes clear things up: "Nothing the Easybeats ever gave their public was anything less than exceptional." Get this and then this and discover for yourself. Fun facts can be found here.

Truly underated. You won't find these guys in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, sadly. Only the true rock fan will remember this great band. Thanks for the reminder.

had been looking around for more easybeats today, and lo and behold the interwebs deliver two jewels
it's # 1 from 2

Oh get real. If the Easybeats really were all that good they would have had far more hits than they ever did. Most of their songs have a lot of energy and whip up a considerable amount of excitement but very few have really good hooks, which is why they actually had very few hits. For my money, they packed most the hooks of which they were capable into Friday On My Mind. That was the only first-rate pop record they ever made.
