This doesn't seem like a very flattering article for Australia's number one musical group for decades... but I don't have time to rewrite it now. Several generations of Australian children grew up to the music of the Seekers (I was one of them...) Sure their songs were conservative but they were also bloody good musicians/songwriters/performers... KJ "Remarkable string of hits" doesn't sound much like a neutral pov either —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.199.150 ( talk) 19:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Please put more photos on. I will not have none on here while little fads like Delta have pleanty.
This article would benefit from a selective discography and a table showing their charting singles in Aust/UK/USA. -- Design 03:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
The link to "The Best of the Seekers" links to "The Seekers Greatest Hits". "The Best of the Seekers" was released in the US on Capitol SM-2746 and ST-2746, and the album is quite different from "The Seekers Greatest Hits" in content and cover. Cscj01 ( talk) 16:35, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
"In recognition of their achievements, the group was named Australians of the Year for 1967 and in March that year they returned to Australia for a triumphant homecoming tour, which included a record-breaking concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne which was attended by over 200,000 people."
Is this accurate? The Sidney Myer Music Bowl article claims a capacity of 30,000. Two hundred thousand people would be one heck of a squeeze! 217.155.20.163 00:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The Morningtown Ride article says this reached #1 in the UK, but this article says #2. Who's right? 86.136.248.116 ( talk) 16:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I was the one who put in the recently deleted critical acclaim section. I did it in response to the general tone of the article as noted by one poster: "This doesn't seem like a very flattering article for Australia's number one musical group for decades". As I noted at the time, my addition was admittedly weak per WP standards. However, I was hoping it would be a seed/stub for development of the needed section rather than get deleted.

Hi North8000 It's a well known fact that The Seekers had their farwell concert July 7 1968 at a BBC-TV studio in London.I can't understand why you are misleading people and writing that it was on the 9 July.I tried to correct it but you wrote the 9th again.Please contact Graham Simpson at Musicoast and he will confirm it.He wrote the book about Judith Durhams life and is in close contact with The Seekers. (by user: Proculled)
In January 1968, on Australia Day, in recognition of its achievements, the group was named joint Australians of the Year – the only group to have this honour bestowed upon it.[27][28] They personally accepted their awards from Harold Holt, the Prime Minister of Australia, during their tour. [29]

There has been a recent edit war over whether the article should say "The Seekers are..." or "The Seekers is..." Per this discussion in the WP:MOS, the plural ("are/were") for musical groups is the preferred form in British English, while the singular ("is/was") may be more favoured in U.S. English. There is the further issue that The Seekers are an Australian group, and therefore this article should perhaps reflect Australian English usage. I note that most WP articles on Australian groups use the plural (e.g. The Easybeats, Hunters & Collectors, The Sports) – but cf. The Choirboys. Comments welcome. Tagging User:Rob Napier.
