Of all the Australian rock groups of the '60s, there's none that lives on as brightly in the memories of those who saw them or heard them as the Loved Ones. They had "it," that unquantifiable quality that transcends the fashions of the day, that "something" that's more than a great record or two, or frequent memorable live performances that grow larger than reality in people's memories. You can still hear "it" in some of their earliest records, still see "it" on the little video evidence left behind. The Loved Ones were exciting.
When the British group quake hit in the globe in the mid-'60s, most of the new bands inspired to start up started from scratch, made up of musicians who had only just picked up their instruments, more driven by their ambition to do it than their ability to do it.
