    To hell with critics. I've enjoyed the Hollies music for 50yrs. Allen Clarke's vocals on "The Air that I Breathe" & "He Ain't Heavy" are filled with feeling, emotion, and Talent. I also believe that Tony Hicks never got the respect he deserved for his great guitar work. The Hollies music will always be legendary for me.

      Alan Clarke just released a new album (April, 2023, or thereabouts). Always the humble gentleman, he had no fanfare about its release.
      I think he even partnered with Graham Nash for it!
      The video notes they were "no competition with the Rolling Stones for r n b covers"...duh! Because their heroes were: THE EVERLY BROTHERS!!! They aimed for a British Everly Brothers sound... (Nothing Raunchy...There! I said it!)

    Well I saw them live in about 2018 in Australia and they are still touring. They just change the line up as needed. Tony Hicks was still in the band. They sounded just like I remembered from the 60's. In Australia we were fortunate to get a lot of British artists played on radio so we were already fully aware of them and their music is still as popular today as always. Not bad when you think of all the other groups that have come and gone but the Hollies just keep on.

In addition about 5 days from now Nash is performing solo at the same venue with what seems to be part talking and part music telling the story of his life.

    I love The Hollies, they are one of my absolutely favorites bands from the 60s. Although they were very great musicians and songwriters, I think their major problem was that they were not as innovative like other bands from the same period. So when the 60s ended and the musical movement they were originally part ended too, they started to decline. Still they manage to make a few great hits in the 70s.
    Long live to The Hollies

    At the root of it all, the Hollies IS Allan Clarke's and Graham Nash's group. It ALL started with them. What "happened" to the group was...time. Eventually, Bernie Calvert and Terry Sylvester left the group, being replaced by a rotation of musicians...many of them quite good. Graham Nash returned in 1983, and upon his leaving again, he was replaced by Alan Coates, a brilliant musician and very capable singer. By 2001, Clarke stepped down as lead vocalist. He was replaced by Carl Wayne, formerly of The Move, an embryonic version of what would become the Electric Light Orchestra. When Carl Wayne died, Alan Coates eventually left too, after almost 21 years with the group. Both were replaced by new faces that could hit the notes, but little else. Their last two studio albums were faceless, generic outings...at best. They've since put recording new material behind them, concentrating on the live act which keeps European concert attendees happy.

Although i could never quite articulatr the words being sung till recently when I read and followed along some one’s contribution on You Tube. Anyway thank you for sharing details of the Hollies.

I remember spending time with the group as they laid down their first and only demo tape my oldest brother used to do the sound and lighting for them and I actually had a small part on one of their songs which was a clapping solo. The best song they did in my opinion was called All or nothing. Anyway jut a short bit of info.

    I love The Hollies too.
    Their British sound did change as the 1970s approach. In fact, the band sounded a little more "American" than British,vin and the 1970s.
    This is just my observation.

    Some songs in the seventies where hits but only in the Netherlands like I'm down, the day that curly Billy shot down Crazy Sam McGee, man without a heart and the obscure song The Baby. All great songs ( about 1972- 1975) They are all on the CD the Dutch Collection ( with DVD )

      The Hollies were good. However, they did lack the depth of the Beatles (no insult; no one did), nor did they demonstrate the capacity for artistic growth.

    You pronounced "Midas" wrong...it is pronounced "my-dus", not the way you say it. "King Midas In Reverse" is one of their best.

    The Hollies, in their current guise, are still touring. I've got tickets to see them in Sept 23. Americans will pretend to, but will never, ever understand 60's Brit Pop. They just see Austin Powers.
