Cold Chisel was Australia's greatest rock band!  I still can't believe they didn't make it overseas. I guess Barnesy was a little to Aussie (for a Scotsman)!  ;)

I reckon some people should have a listen to cold chisel,big aussie band with great success, along the likes of ACDC, Midnight Oil, crowded house and Inxs just to name a few, really quite a good band.

Ill start off with a popular song,probably not their most famous song but definitely one that alot of people would put in their top 10 chisel songs of all time:

Oh wow...I hadn't heard about Harvey James. :o  Yes, Chisel, Sherbert, Skyhooks, ACDC, Hush, Ted Mulry Gang, Dragon, Split Enz, and the Angels were the popular bands in those days. There were more ... but these bands featured heavily on Countdown!  Ahhh... those were the days... ::)

Cold Chisel didn't make noise North America, but Jimmy Barnes did have a few minor hits.  Anyone who say 'The Lost Boys' will know 'Good Times' featuring INXS

Sad to hear of Steve Prestwich's passing :(

I know them best as The Sherbs and the single 'I Have the Skill' which I quite enjoy
