John Baslington Lyde  Australian rock musician
born May 18, 1951 , Longreach, Queen., Australia

died April 21, 2007, Melbourne, Australia
championed the loud, aggressive musical style that dominated Australian pub rock and influenced such heavy metal bands as AC/DC and the American punk rockers Nirvana. Loyde fronted his own alternative bands—Purple Hearts and the psychedelic Wild Cherries—before joining (1969) the Aztecs, led by fellow rock icon Billy Thorpe (Thorpe, Billy ) (q.v.), who credited Loyde with giving the band's sound a harder edge. In 1972 Loyde left the Aztecs to found the more intense Coloured Balls, but two years later he moved to the U.K., where he joined the punk rock scene. After returning to Melbourne in the late 1970s, he played with Southern Electric, Rose Tattoo, Dirt, and the re-formed Coloured Balls. Loyde also recorded solo albums, notably Obsecration (1976), and in the 1980s served as record producer for the Sunnyboys, Painters and Dockers, and other groups. Loyde was inducted into the Australian Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 2006.
