    Another great Graham Gouldman composition! Poor guy wrote massive hits for others, like Hermans Hermits, The Hollies and The Yardbirds, but never had a hit for himself until he and the 10CC lads rocketed into the charts! Tony Hicks is so under-rated as a guitarist! Loved this band!

      Agreed, the drummer has a pulse and touch of silk in each beat above most of that Age in bigger billed bands that became legends. Easy to overview? His timing too was impeccable, you cant get better than that. What made others shine above I can't conceive, unless it was the material played or being in a band with songwriters like Lennon-McCartney.... Because he has more chops and the stuff to outbeat any Ringo or Charlie or Ian et al. _in their own bands and own songs. This is a drummer that leaves his own skin on those skins

    There were a Lot of great bands in the '60s, but few had the "60s Sound" that the Hollies had.
    At the local Stock Car Races on a Saturday night, and they'd play "Riding around on a carousel"

    The song was written by Graham Gouldman, who also wrote another Hollies' song "Bus Stop." Gouldman wrote "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds, "Listen People" by Herman's Hermits, and eventually moved on to 10CC, co-writing "I'm Not in Love" and "The Things We Do for Love." Quite a songwriting résumé.

    Like Herman's Hermits, the Hollies used other writers songs; also like Herman's Hermits, because of this, too many people didn't give them enough credit for how good a band they still were, polishing the songs to perfection.

    0:37 Allan claims their first nine singles hit the UK top ten:
    Per "The Complete Book of the British Charts" (an actual book - its info matches the Wikipedia Hollies discography page), "Look Through Any Window" was their ninth UK single and the seventh to make the top ten. The first two, "(Ain't That) Just Like Me" & "Searchin'," peaked at #25 and #12.

    This heart is played out
    And I’m made out like some wild bird of pray
    And everyone’s got something say
    Goodbye all you dealers
    The cold ones and the feelers
    Dreaming just gives glory to the grave
    And everyone’s got something to say

    A bit earlier, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, which Tony was inspired by his 12 string, was also the banjo player for The New Christy Minstrals. I wonder if that inspired Tony to play the banjo on Hollies song "Stop Stop Stop" around that time?
