12. "Gerry." Sorry (I'm in his Fan Club!).

[femmocrat]

21. Thanks for the correction.

I knew that.

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. Kinks You Really Got Me

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

5. The Honeycombs - have i the right

Not necessarily fav song (prob would be Kinks Waterloo Sunset if I had to choose) but definitely best video - choreography, stomping beat, wonderfully evocative of a bygone era - what more do you need!

6. Yardbirds

[bobthedrummer]

8. Over Under Sideways Down

[Miles Archer]

14. Happenings Ten Years Time Ago...Beck AND Page

[bobthedrummer]

26. OK, what about this British lineup of a still popular band back in their formation, Miles Archer?

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac-The Early Years

It really is all about the blues, isn't it???

[Miles Archer]

27. Green had EVERYTHING that Clapton, Page, Beck and Taylor had.

I mean, when he did "A Hard Road" with Mayall he was following Clapton at a time when people were spray painting "CLAPTON IS GOD" on stone walls in England and he DELIVERED. I thought "Hard Road" was just as good as "Bluesbreakers," maybe even a little better, because it was weirder and looser.

Then came Fleetwood Mac...WOW. What the hell could that man have accomplished if he had just followed his trajectory and not short-circuited? I know he came back in later years but it was a tamer, more traditional Green. "Then Play On" still sounds like an adventure to this day.

[Arugula Latte]

7. Zombies -- Time of the Season

[BlueJazz]

9. Georgie Fame

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

15. I say yeh! Always liked that song but had no idea what Mr. Fame looked like until

now! Song was not a huge hit back in the day, at least here in the Midwest USA, and pics of him did not adorn the pages of my fav-est teeny bopper mags like Tiger Beat. What a cutie - who knew!

[IcyPeas]

10. Itchycoo Park - Small Faces

[WinkyDink]

11. The one, the only, SEARCHERS, with the awesome Mike Pender singing, "Every Time You

Walk in the Room." One of the Top 5 Best Opening Chords in all of Pop!

[Trailrider1951]

13. Chad and Jeremy

Here's my favorite:

[jcboon]

23. Me too

[Miles Archer]

29. They get BIG BONUS POINTS for having been on a Julie Newmar Catwoman episode of Batman.

[Iggo]

16. She's Not There -- The Zombies

[Little_Wing]

17. There she was justa walkin down the street...

Manfred Mann

Maracas are such an unappreciated instrument these days...

[WinkyDink]

20. The best rendition is in "Stripes":

Hahahahaha!(Sorry, there's no synched version!)

[Little_Wing]

24. So good!

Also remember Bruce Willis breaking into this song as he watched Cybil Shepherd walk away on an episode of "Moonlighting." Too funny

[GReedDiamond]

18. The Animals -- Sky Pilot...

Edited to swap out the video with a better version.

[Miles Archer]

19. Burdon was INSANE (and I mean that in a good way).

He discovered a guitarist name Aalon who was a Hendrix disciple and recorded an album under the "Eric Burdon Band" called "Sun Secrets." They went nuts on extended versions of a few Animals oldies plus some originals. The CD version includes their second and final album, Stop, which I didn't care for as much because the cuts were all short.

[GReedDiamond]

22. Yes, he is...in a good way...

...I have a friend, who, about ten years back, used to do merchandising for all sorts of bands based in the Los Angeles area, and was a good friend of Eric.

Eric would get a little buzzed, so to speak, and leave very interesting messages on my friend's answering machine.

When my friend decided to leave the US, he left the answering machine with me. Someday I need to dig it up out of storage, and see if I can transfer those messages to wav or mp3, for easy access and a unique form of entertainment.

[Tikki]

25. The Troggs....."Wild Thing"

Tikki

[Kingofalldems]

28. Zombies--Tell Her No
