Billy Thorpe is the king of australian rock n' roll, no questions. His pionerring work with the hard rocking Aztecs in the late 60's early 70's set up the Australian pub rock scene and its sound. Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs were such a huge influence on AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, Midnight Oil, The Saints etc. Billy Thorpe's music and legacy looms large over the Australian music scene today and is only rivalled by AC/DC. Was such a shock when he died last year.

His song "Earth Calling" got me through many a tough time when all I wanted was to get off this stupid planet. Rest in peace indeed Billy, and thanks.
