'''Writing about rock and pop music''' on Wikipedia is problematic. Wikipedia_is_not a Fanzine. Gushing Hagiography is not NPOV. (Hagiology is more what we're after.) Peacock terms abound.
Somehow this stuff has to be written up encyclopaedically.
I want to turn the red links to blue on List_of_Australian_independent_bands,_1976-1992. I wouldn't mind doing much of the same for List_of_Australian_musicians.
==A possible template for band articles==
:'''Intro''' in tight News_style or summary style. Include why the band is significant.
:'''History''' — formation, chronology with albums.
:'''Members''' if their membership is so convoluted you need a separate section to make sense of it — or if the history is bogged down in membership changes. Bo-ring.
:'''Trivia''' if there is any.
:'''Discography'''
:'''External links''' — always list McFarlane where appropriate.
''Examples'': Died_Pretty; Brendan_Kibble; The_Scientists.
==Sources==
For Australian bands, don't forget to use McFarlane as a link and reference source. {{subst:ianmcf}} will put the text: ''{{ianmcf}}'' into your article.
