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.

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?

[Dargil]

Lots of talent back then.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Dargil]

The AI robot says that was Allan Clarke.

[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?

[FunkyMonkee]

I always hated that one. That and, "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)".

[FunkyMonkee]

I have at least one of their albums and probably 6 or 7 of their singles.

[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.

[Dargil]

I was strictly amateur. Played in a few school gyms

[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?

[NathanDavis]

I do like at least, two Hollies

[Cidknee]

The Holly tree and Holly bush?

[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

[Dargil]

I saw YES twice in one year. Original Yes with new blood and Yes, featuring ARW. Carl Palmer did a drum solo in his own performance at the first.

[Pterodon]

Seen Yes twice. The Drama and 90125 tours. Had a ticket to see Asia on their debut tour but let a bitch ex girlfriend guilt trip me into not going. Saw Rush on the Moving Pictures tour. Had tickets for Yes on both Big Generator and Union tours but both got cancelled do to band member illnesses
