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 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) or Billy Thorpe or 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.
