Rockies 3
''Rockies 3'' is the third studio album by Australian rock band Rockmelons. It was released in October 2002. The lead single "All I Want is You" peaked at number 41 in Australia and was nominated for 2003 APRA Most Performed Dance Work. Review A reviewer at Femail called ''Rockies 3'' "a diverse collection of irresistible grooves, soul-drenched melodies and infectious vocal hooks and performances. However, it's interesting to note that the Rockmelons don't set about to make a series of tunes that belong in specific genre categories, their approach seems to be more organic and a mash-up of all of the sounds that they've loved the most over the years", and adding "Rockmelons have once again managed to produce a well-balanced album that is a hybrid of their ol' school sensibilities and a soulful dancefloor spin that sounds perfect within the current musical climate."
