If you're not familiar with them, Albert Music has put together a two CD collection that will rock your socks off. The first disc includes a who's who of contemporary Australian musicians paying tribute to the band, including Dappled Cities, Skybombers, The Veronicas, Ben Lee, and many others. The second disc collects nineteen of the Easybeats' essential songs, many of which are covered on the first disc.
As a notable side note, George Young, one of the group's members, was the older brother to Malcolm and Angus Young. If those names don't ring a bell, do I need to start singing You Shook Me All Night Long? Yea, you know who I'm talking about now - AC/DC. In fact, he produced the band's first six albums.

I was familiar with Friday On My Mind, but I guess I had the impression it was just one of those one-hit-wonder tracks. Thanks for filling in the blanks. I like what Ben Lee did with it.
Can't quite wrap my mind around the connection between the Easybeats and AC/DC (!). But it's kinda cool to have learned that.
Glad to connect the dots for you Jane.
