However, I knew the band and am a big fan of the song unspent letter as I was a massive JJJ fan at the time (being my first year of jletter). and later read about his script writing success. His name was Pinky, hope this is an acceptable answer.
Technically the question was the name of the band! But I'll pay it Begbie. For those playing at home the band was machine gun fellatio.
On the next question, assuming Savage Garden is correct I think the songs would be "I want you", "To the moon and back" and I'm not sure about the third... Perhaps "Truly, Madly, Deeply" or "I knew I loved you".

Correct, your turn mate. btw savage garden only ever had one song in at number one but had a good scattering of presence in the top 50.

Wasn't the one I was thinking of, but I do vaguely remember hearing that story of a show being pulled mid airing

Know what I hate?
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

Shirl hosted Shirl's Neighbourhood, Dirtiest Home Video was hosted by Uncle Doug Mulray and was pulled by the Goanna as he repeatedly showed a Dutch couple rooting in a park

Timmy is on leave so I might have another. Name the Aussie band who originally had a hit with "way out west" before James Blundell stole and massacred it.

Foo Fighters are the best, so I'd guess Taylor Hawkins?
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.

Someone once asked John Lennon if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world and he replied 'he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles'.

Seeing Keith Sub-Urban with a Raiders jersey on had me thinking, what two teams did Alice Cooper and Snoop Doggy Dogg respectively "support" via on-stage jersey wearing?
