Australian Music Awards



            In Australia Rock Music Awards have had a somewhat haphazard existence. Looking back on the 1967 King Of Pop Award, Ed Nimmervoll wrote:- 'Normie Rowe was the first King Of Pop, although accidentally rather than officially. "Go Set" was the big teen magazine of the day and in 1967 they conducted a standard pop poll to arrive at the most popular personalities and groups of the day .. When those awards were announced on the Go!! Television Show, in a moment of fun it was decided to close the show with a mock crowning of the King Of Pop'. (from Juke, 28 October 1978).

          Such was the beginnings of the king of pop awards which evolved into the T.V. Week King Of Pop Awards (also known as the T.V. Week Rock Awards). But well before all that was the National Battle Of The Sounds.

          The Battle Of The Sounds was the most important event of the year for australian bands during the late sixties and early seventies. Apart from the prizes (which included trips to the UK, and the US and cash), the contest was highly respected and being judged top group in the country for the year was a great honour.
          The major prize was awarded following a series of semi-finals held on a country area and state level. Hoadleys were the main organisers and sponsors.


                    The winners were:-
1966Twilights.
1967Groop.
1968Groove.
1969 Doug Parkinson in Focus. (Masters Apprentices were such a close second that they were offered a trip to the UK.)
1970Flying Circus.
1971Fraternity
1972Sherbet
