On The Hollies: I would be hard-pressed to think of many bands who were vocally stronger than The Hollies. Intelligent songwriting like The Kinks. A song like Rain On The Window shows off vocal greatness. It could have dissolved into cliche about Rain On The Window but they paint a picture most people could identify with. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress One of the best songs of that time. In my Top 50 Songs. One of the best groups of all-time. KING

One of the finest 60s bands to come out of the U.K. I prefer them to C.S.N. and it's a shame Graham Nash seems to disregard his roots these days. It's worth noting that Bobby Elliott was and is one of the best drummers in pop and rock music.
