Apr 25^th, 2008 at 10:48am wondering what bands/artists people on this site liked besides The Stones/Beatles in '64/'65, I left them out because all the votes would go to them, this is the years '64 & '65, I left out The Troggs (they came on the scene in '66) there's more then 1 option to choose, my favorites are the Kinks/Yardbirds/Who.

I've done a lot of research into this, so don't complain, if some band has been left out, like The Birds (with Ronnie wood) never had a hit between them, I'm talking about major artists, who had hits in the charts, not, unknown people, most of the people would have to be brought up in the 60's, to know these people, but i remember 2 films, T.A.M.I. show & Pop Gear, which was also 'known as Go Go Mania.

Yeah, Joey, The who were just fantastic, The mods were happening in '64, so when somebody mentioned The Who weren't happening in America, they sure were in good old England.

Reply #12 - Apr 25^th, 2008 at 3:41pm The reason I made the comemts was because I thought this poll was about the first wave of bands that "invaded" the States in '64 and '65. If thats the case, thn imo, The Who shouldn't be on the list.

The Small Faces didn't make it in the USA neither in the first, nor second or whatever (didn't know about those "editions") however is nice to see them in second place.

However, Humble Pie were big in the USA but the Small Faces only made a "hit" and it was "Itchycoo Park"

The small Faces I put on the list because a lot of people on this board loved them, & yes, their hit happened in '66, but I'm sure they happened in '65, but it's like the old Ricky Nelson song "You can't please everyone, but you can please yourself"

And then we need a poll for the lesser but cool bands in Britain in the mid-late 60's....including bands like The Creation, The Action, The Birds, John's Children, the Fleur de Lys...and on to Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. I know there are more......but, with a few exceptions, I love the Brit bands more than the American bands.

People wonder why I love the 60's so much---why I think about them, remember them, FEEL them.....this is why!!! Like no other time in history. You just HAD to be there...no way to describe it.
