I was a U.S. expat living in Australia from 1979-1982 and fell in love with Chisel. Unfortunately very few Americans have ever heard of Cold Chisel, which is a damn shame because I think these guys are a rockin band that deserve classic rock status. In the 80s when shitty disco has made it's way onto the music scene in the US, the Aussies were rockin'. Cold Chisel was an honest, straight-forward band with no hype or pretense. I still rock out to Chisel when I have friends over. Fantastic band!

@demonman444 thanx for the positive comment... I'm glad to know that it isn't just an acquired taste shared by only Australians.
