The Large One
Who's Next?
Yeah, I know considered a bit lightweight, but I've got 'Gasoline Alley Bred' blaring out in the shop here, and it's quite a nice little pop song. Any other OSAB got a favourite Hollies track?

did they do anything apart from 'The air that I breathe'?
The single most prolific hit-making group of the 1960s. More top 20 singles in the UK than the Beatles, so no, not really.

"Stay" later adapted by Jackson Browne as his last song in concerts
Look though any window is also a pretty good pop song, as most of their singles were. "The band's band" as Jimmy saville used to say..repeatedly
Jennifer Eccles however is SHIT

They have two great albums in 'Butterfly' and 'Evolution', but Gasoline Alley Bred was the first of their tunes that grabbed me. It was around or just after the time of The Marmalade 'Reflections Of My Life', and I saw those two bands as on a par at that time. Actually, the Bee Gees were in the same kind of league back then too, with their first 3 LPs being tasteful examples of the best of psych-pop.
After their debut single, (which didn't do anything), they did not fail to have their singles chart during the 1960's (except for one lightweight collaboration with Peter Sellers called 'After The Fox').
Of their records after Graham Nash left, they did a marvelous version of Springsteen's 'Sandy', (well before Manfred Mann covered him), a throwaway rock tune 'Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress, which was like something Alvin Stardust would do, 'He Ain't Heavy', which is excellent, and Air That I Breathe, also brilliant for that time.
