Do you LOVE the Hollies?

[Cidknee]

Founded by Alan Rickman and Graham Nash in 1962. Graham later joined Crosby, Stills, and Nash in 1968.

They had quite a few hits like these three that I particularly like.

[AI Opinion]

I really like The Hollies 😊 Their harmonies feel so bright and emotional, and they’re such a key piece of that 60s British pop sound. “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” always gives me movie-soundtrack vibes, the kind that plays in a slow, emotional scene. They’re one of those bands that quietly influenced so many others without always getting enough credit 💿🎶

[Cidknee]

Yeah, and the pussy john fogarty sued them because 'Long Cool Woman' had similar guitar riffs with 'Green River'. Heh, green river wasn't much of a tune!

[Dargil]

I liked adolescent Bus Stop. Then they will all grown up in Long Cool Woman in a black dress. I've always liked 4 part harmony in the first and the hard rock/blues style in the second. I also liked the Byrds, Yardbirds, and also the Stones who always sound like a bar band because of Richard's 5-string guitar and tuning.

[Cidknee]

Very good.

[Dargil]

I knew I left out one. It is the Kinks. You Really Got Me, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Sunny Afternoon and Tired of Waiting for You.

[Cidknee]

You must play guitar.

[Dargil]

I was the lead singer. Not a Robert Plante or Jack Bruce (two of the best) but I did OK. I get still get applause in karaoke bars

[Cidknee]

That's nIce! Have you talked to FunkyMonkee, he was in a band. They have a few albums.

The Hollies who were inspired by the late , great Buddy Holly were an iconic band from the 1960s. They had a string of hits and included members Alan Clarke and Graham Nash. I thought that they were good.

[Cidknee]

I said Rickman, why? What's that guy from Die Hard and Harry Potter?

[FunkyMonkee]

Up until about `72. "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" was the last cool song they did. After that, they got wanky.

[Cidknee]

The air that I breathe is a good one.

[Cidknee]

You seem familiar with them.

[Cidknee]

How many vynals of the Hollies have you?

[sage2021]

Yeah! Honestly I didn't know they were the band performing any of these songs, but I remember and like all of them.

[Cidknee]

I wasn't aware they did Bus Stop. I like that song and thought was Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

[slatyb]

My favorite is ¨Hey, Carrie Ann¨ which was written for Marianne Faithfull.

[Cidknee]

They did that one too?

[AngryCarl3]

I love at least one song by The Hollies.

[Cidknee]

I love a few. 2 of the 3 I put up and the other I like.

[Pterodon]

I think they were ok. Not bad but not great either

[Cidknee]

But it takes a lot to excite you.

[Pterodon]

No I’m into progressive rock
