'''Lobby Lloyd''' (born John Lyde)(b.18 May 1941) in [[Longreach]], [[Queensland]], is a [[Melbourne]] guitarist and music producer who helped define the [[pub rock]] sound in the 1960s and 1970s. His most famous bands include the [[Purple Hearts]], [[Chain]], the [[Aztecs]], the [[Coloured Balls]].

He is reputedly a direct descendant of [[Oscar Wilde]].

Lobby Lloyd was inducted into the [[ARIA_Hall_of_Fame|ARIA Hall of Fame]] this year. A fellow inductee, Angry Anderson of [[Rose Tattoo]] said of Lloyd:

''More than anyone else, Lobby helped create the Australian guitar sound. Long before [[Angus Young|Angus (Young)]] or [[Billy Thorpe]] or [[The_Angels_%28Australian_band%29|the Angels]] or Rose Tattoo. Lobby inspired Australian bands to step forward and play as loud and aggressively as they could. People are still trying to copy it today.''
