Aria Hall Of Fame

In nearly 2 weeks time the ARIA Hall of Fame is happening with the standalone ceremony at Sydney's Carriageworks on Gadial land and the inductees are Kate Cebrano, Jenny Morris, Vika and Linda, The Living End, Spiderbait and Gurrumul which they truly deserve it for the impact they made on Australian music even though Jenny Morris who is a Kiwi but she made a impact in Australia and there has been a issue as there are so many performers from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's are missing their chances as they have an impact on the Australian music scene who should deserve an ARIA Hall of Fame as much as everyone else as there the performers from those eras I mentioned were the pioneers of the industry and it would not be the industry as it is today in 2026 if it wasn't for the artists which Col Joye, Johnny O'Keeffe, Billy Thorpe, Slim Dusty, Normie Rowe, The Easybeats, Helen Reddy, Dragon, Max Merritt, Glenn Shorrock as well as Little River Band, Ross Wilson as well as Daddy Cool, The Bee Gees, Smoky Dawson, Split Enz, Crowded House, Marcia Hines, Brian Cadd, The Seekers, Air Supply Skyhooks, Daryl Braithwaite as well as Sherbet and Jimmy Barnes as well as Cold Chisel have been among the artists that have been inducted and let's hope for many acts that have not been inducted get inducted which they should do that while most of them are still alive as sadly there are those performers who have passed away like Bobby Bright and Laurie (Bobby and Laurie), Marcie Jones, Johnny Rebb, Alan Dale, Digby Richards amongst them who should posthumously deserve it too just to know that their work is not forgotten and still remembered and here is my list of acts from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's who should deserve the Aria Hall Of Fame The Atlantics(one of the first Australian groups to write their own material) Doug Ashdown Axiom (having Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock) Noeleen Batley(First Australian Female singer to hit the Top 40) Merv Benton The Black Sorrows Bobby and Laurie Kevin Borich Mike Brady Dave Bridge Ray Brown and the Whispers Debbie Byrne Chain(First and Only Australian blues band to have a number 1) Mike Chapman(Record Producer) Johnny Chester (who had success with rock and country) Ray Columbus and the Invaders(First New Zealand Group to have an Australian mumber 1) Graham Connors Alan Dale and the Houserockers Peter Dawkins The Delltones Johnny Devlin(First New Zealand rocker to make a impact in Australia) Digger Revell and the Denvermen Allison Durbin Jon English The Executives(which had Ray Burton) The Go Betweens The Groop (launching pad for Brian Cadd and Ronnie Charles) The Groove (first Australian Supergroup) Colleen Hewett Hush Kevn Jacobson Marcie Jones Nat Kipner(songwriter and producer) Steve Kipner (Songwriter and Steve and the Board) La De Das Dinah Lee Lonnie Lee Reg Lindsay Carol Lloyd David Mackay(record Producer) Alison McCallum Joy McKean Betty McQuade The Mixtures Vince Melouney(The Aztecs/The Bee Gees) Chad Morgan Tex Morton MPD Limited Ted Mulry/TMG Noiseworks/Jon Stevens Ol'55 Mark Opitz(record Producer) Doug Parkinson Robie Porter aka Rob EG The Purple Hearts Railroad Gin Lynne Randell Redgum James Reyne(his Solo Work as he was inducted with Australian Crawl) Dig Richards(hits in 50's, 60's and 70's) Johnny Rebb(playing with the Rebels and the Atlantics) Margaret Roadknight Ross Ryan John Sangster Roger Savage Mary Schneider Sebastian Hardie/Mario Millo Spectrum The Sports/Stephen Cummings Rick Springfield Jeff St John Judy Stone(having hits in 60's and 70's) The Strangers(launching pad for John Farrar as well as having hits with instrumentals and Vocals) Tamam Shud The Thunderbirds Ron Tudor the Twilights Diana Trask Wickety Wak Buddy Williams Zoot
