I know of many Aussie bands but none matching with a Neil Young song. How well known are they ? Have they had any UK hit singles or albums ? I've researched this for a Pop Quiz Round before now, bands named after song titles - Deacon Blue, Radiohead, Deep Purple to name three but don't recall a Neil Young one, very interesting Dysart ...

They were absolutely massive in Australia in the 90s/00s, didn't do much overseas. The Neil Young song was from a late 70s album and is a live favourite.

I don't think I'm gonna get it Dysart, I know a music journalist in Australia I could ask but that would be the same as looking up the answer. It must be someone I've never heard of. There doesn't seem to be any other takers either, looks like you've got us all stumped.

The Neil Young song could be Powderfinger.
