my thoughts on Jimmy....
this guy totally deserves his place in the top5 IMO...
he is a great blues rocker, and together with Cold Chisel, these guys consistantly outsold other better known blues rockers AC/DC here throughtout the 1970s and early 1980s,
his songs have that workingclass feel of Mellencamp with his material and also a lot of Springsteen's 'working class' material.
below is my personal favourite of Cold Chisel..a song that details the struggles of returning vietnam vets in the 1970s...and he did it several years beofre The boss did it with "born in the usa"!
