They run in the same orbit as U2, Divinyls, Australian Crawl, Eurythmics and Billy Idol, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Smash Mouth, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Divinyls and The Easybeats, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
