The Hollies were one of the most iconic British bands, fabulous sound, amazing melodies and those voices were virtually unbeatable, great group and still loved by so many today!
Superb video! I'm British and over here we all know about how The Beatles and The Stones conquered America, but we don't necessarily know about The Hollies impact. They were a great band, who had so many hits over here. It gladdens my heart to that in The USA there are people like you waving a flag for them and if your videos encourage one new fan to want to go out and listen to them, then you have done a wonderful job! Thank you and please keep doing what you are doing!
I watched the video with pleasure, as a long-standing Hollies fan. It's lovely that someone tries to bring back the forgotten album tracks and B-sides in the moment that I'm afraid nobody really remembers even their true hits except He Ain't Heavy and The Air That I Breathe. Out of your selections I absolutely love So Lonely, Dear Eloise and Don't Run and Hide (The Everly Brothers did a great version of this as well, backed by The Hollies themselves). There are many more album tracks that I find absolutely adorable - the heart-wrenching Charlie & Fred, the super airy Elevated Observations and When Your Light Turned On, an eerie combination of disturbed lyrics and happy melody. From the post-Nash period I would highlight Please Let Me Please and Survival of the Fittest, the latter co-written by Nash anyway.
Two of my favorite Hollies songs are Put Yourself In My Place from Hollies (65) and The Games We Play from Evolution. They were never released as singles but should have been.
The problem may have been Identity. I twigged to the Hollies as a British Invasion band, intrigued by their better singles, and put off by those that didn't cut it. Great Invasion-Era singles like Just One Look, Here I Go Again, I'm Alive, Look thru Any Window, Bus Stop, Stop Stop Stop, On a Carousel, Carrie-Anne, were part of the Top 40 experience. In the wake of the Beatles, the Hollies were one of the bands that stood out, the band's best 45s etched into the cortexes of millions of teens, fed into the Top 40 format on AM radio. The Beatles' electric appearance on Ed Sullivan opened the door to groups like the Hollies, the Searchers, and the Animals and many others, whose records were eagerly awaited by Summer, 1964. Rock 'n' Roll came roaring out of countless transistor radios, the high-tech toy of the time. By the end of the next decade, they'd be "boom boxes", the first step toward modern precision music The transistor had been created in the laboratory in 1947, allowing the elimination of tubes, and, subsequently, the miniaturization of a radio. I got my first the Christmas of 1960, and it was my constant companion until it gave up the ghost, from being dropped, turned on and off, and generally maltreated the way a 12-year-ol would. I got another one, and another, and so on, as I aged, listening to the Hit Parade, then Top 40, in 1960-'63, Elvis-comes-back-from-the-Army to Surf Music. By Spring 1964, Top 40 was firmly entrenched in the British Invasion.
One of my favourite ever Hollies tracks is 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy). I know that this was also a Springsteen song. To me it should have been a massive hit. I still play it.
Some of the early "B"sides wrre standouts(Come on back,So lonely,You know he did) and down here in NZ during the 70s The Hollies were very popular and had hits on our charts that were necessarily released elsewhere and are firm favorites of mine(Hey Willy,Magic Woman Touch, Lonely Hobo Lullaby)Pay you back with Interest was a Top 30 hit in USA,but a Top 20 here The Hollies were a class act💎 Auckland New Zealand 2024
I take it that this is an American video, because in the UK ( where the Hollies were bigger than they were in the States with possibly only the Beatles and the Stones being more popular) all those songs were released as album tracks and / or B sides. Apart from their first one or two discs they only really released three singles that weren't big hits in the sixties, If I Needed Someone ( a cover of the Beatles song from Rubber Soul ), The title song from a movie starring Peter Sellers who also appeared on the single, think it was called Up with The Fox or something, it was awful but as they released Bus Stop just after it was forgotten about., but most famously the song that didn't do as well as expected was King Midas In Reverse. Graham Nash has said on a number of occasions that the failure of this song to do well and the band's decision to return to doing mainstream pop in response was one of the main reasons he quit them and joined up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills. I never thought that Graham Nash got the credit he deserved as a song writer here in the Uk, either when he was with The Hollies, with CSN / CSN&Y or as a solo artist. Had butterfly been written by someone like Kate Bush it would have undoubtedly been given far more plaudits than it was The Hollies only had one big hit in Britain in the seventies, The Air That I Breathe. Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress which I believe was a big hit around the world didn't do that well in the UK. The Hollies were fading a bit in popularity by then which I thought was a bit of a shame because they were releasing some good material on their albums, possibly some of their best, around that time. The song Wings was actually recorded in 1968. By the sound of it the Track listing on some the Albums you mention is also different to the UK counterparts, Pay You Back with Interest for example was released on For Certain Because in the UK, not Evolution.
Some songs of the Hollies of the early 70 's till mid seventies worth listening to are Hey Willy,,the baby, long cool woman, the day that Curly Billy shot down Crazy Sam McGee, the air that I breath and I'm Down. All singles in the Netherlands.
You are completely wrong. The songs you chose are well known in Britain and by fans in Europe. Of course not every title became an A-side on a single, but the quality of the Hollies' songs were well recognized by pop fans in Britain and let's say Western Europe. For example "Dear Eloise" of course was a big hit in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Maybe you are too young or American?
I'm an American and I couldn't agree more with this post. In fact, I don't believe that "Heavy" and "Air" belong even in the Top 20 of Hollies tunes. "Bus Stop", "On a Carousel", "Stop Stop Stop", and "Carrie Anne" are all vastly superior songs, as well as the sleepers mentioned in this video. Even the lyrics of "Long Cool Woman" are far more imaginative than the trite, cliche-riddled words in the Big Two. Here's hoping this video eventually garners a million views!
4:03 its funny that you mention The Beatles and Pink Floyd bc I was a Beatlemaniac at first until I switched to Floyd😂 let me tell you how it was: I found (the deepest career of) The Hollies thanks to: 1st The Beatles cover of If I Needed Someone and 2nd - while i was exploring early Floyd I've read somewhere that Roger Waters threw words of hate 😂 to The Hollies just as John Lennon did So it made me looking for WHY omg or how on earth both The Beatles and Floyd were triggered by what The Hollies were doing *wtf?* and then there were no point of return, for me.The Hollies are the perfect balance between all,pop rock, psychedelia etc i discovered those obscure tracks thanks to those hate words famous people lol Of course, on the way I've found that other peopl/bands (like The Kinks, The Small Faces, even Badfinger) praised their work SO, I know it is good to yell I'm HollieHolic or Holliemaniac (?) b now😅 5:48 - i made that collage about 10 yrs ago 🥹 I'm thrilled now
Allan surpassed the BUTTERFLY recording of WOULD YOU BELIEVE with the re-recording of the song on his 1973 solo album HEADROOM. He raised the key from C to E , and the result was an incredible ballad .
So Lonely was recorded by The Everly Brothers in 1966. They recognized its' potential. Same goes for Don't Run & Hide. Dear Eloise was a hit in The Netherlands.
Peculiar Situation was one of my favorites though i didn't hear it here in America for many years. Don't know if it's mentioned just started watching this. You Know He Did is too Louie to have been a chart hit-we already heard THAT riff several times by then
Two more of my favorites that weren't huge hits: Their cover of Dylan's "When My Ship Comes In." A song that is a lot of fun with great harmonies and a nice banjo with it. As they entered the studio to record, "He Ain't Heavy...." they had another song called, "From the Bottom to the Top." A lovely song about trying to get over a breakup. Fun fact but both "Heavy..." and "Bottom...." feature a then unknown piano player who was credited by his real name, Reg Dwight better known to us as Sir Elton John.
@@radiotracks7865 The album is for certain because. Released in 66. I don't mind if it was released in 1967 in USA... the important is the first release. Pay you back with interest was composed and released in 1966. I have the album and for me is the best album of the hollies. and there's another potential hit in that album, called "What went wrong"..
The Hollies wrote just as many songs as the Beatles, yet never get the attention deserved. There should be a REVOLUTION IN THE HEAD style booktaking a deep dive into all the Hollies recordings from a musical standpoint such as the Beatles book . Tony Hicks is an inventive Guitarist and added so much to the band. Their powerful three part vocal harmony is superb! Even when Graham left Terry Sylvester was an excellent replacement, writing wonderful songs with Allan and Tony on their 70s Polydor albums. Songs such as MAN WITHOUT A HEART, LONELY HOBO LULLABY, GIVE ME TIME, CONFESSIONS OF A MIND & the brilliant MARIGOLD/GLORIA SWANSONG . All Hollies classic songs 👦👍🎶
The album OTHER SIDE OF THE HOLLIES, is an albu of B-Sides , but sounds like a greatest hits LP. The quality of the songs is tremendous. Some are on this list.
TH-cam is an American online video-sharing platform, so naturally, you're going to hear about what was or was not a hit in the US. That doesn't mean it wasn't a hit somewhere else. Being American, there's a lot of great UK bands that I never would have discovered if it wasn't for TH-cam because they were never hits in this country.
As a Hollies fan since 1964. Your nine songs were wildly off the mark. Although 3 songs were correct. The other 6 in my opinion were flops or the Hollies would have fought for their “A” side release. Sorry guys I could have came up with a better list in my sleep.
The Album "Would You Believe" {released July 1st 1966} has got nothing to do with the Song the same title! The Song "W..." was part of the 1967 Album "Evolution"
It's true The Hollies were The Groups 'Group I never get bored with their music before I write the next comment and I rate The Hollies better than the Beatles now you can have a go at me and I don't care just my opinion Love to all Hollies fans Love Sir Nobby Knobler
pretty hood post. Are you sure So Lonely, Pay You Back With Interest and Would You Believe were not hits or at least minor hits. And you missed ne of their most perfect and catchy songs Time For Love.
Far too much of the time, the narration was badly out of touch with the video and soundtrack. It's almost as if it had been made for a whole different script, and then someone decided to double its value by recording a whole new narrative over it. What I mean is that throughout, we were seeing visuals and hearing music that were not what the narration was discussing. For just one out of many possible examples, why were we seeing and hearing Long Cool Woman? It's a great song, but it was also a big hit, which is at odds with the stated subject - and in fact the song was never mentioned, which is as it should be. So why was it there at all in our eyes and ears, rather than letting us hear what you were actually talking about? I would have appreciated actually hearing much more of what you were talking about. This is why I watched it in the first place, as much of that music was unfamiliar to me. Sadly, after watching this, I can't say that's been rectified.
Look through any Window is great. I figured On a Carousel was a hit. I am not feeling it for Wings, Dear Eloise, Don't Run and Hide and others songs. None are bad, just not hits. I would put King Midas in Reverse on the potential hit list. I almost feel this is a put on. The Hollies were great but not great enough to have 20 hits. stop stop stop all this nonsense, and now I have to leave.
Two out of the 9 were worth listening to pay back with interest and dear Elouise, but the rest I see they wouldn’t make any charts they were just horrible songs.
The Hollies were one of the most iconic British bands, fabulous sound, amazing melodies and those voices were virtually unbeatable, great group and still loved by so many today!
So Lonely is fantastic
Allan Clarks Voice On ..The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam Magee Is Brilliant!.. still got this single..love it.👍

"Signs That Will Never Change" , the B side of "Carrie Anne" was a song I always felt should've been a hit of it's own.
One of my 3 favorite bands, EVER! WOULD HAVE LOVED the opportunity to see them live. Any line up. Maybe some day...
"Pay You Back with Interest" is my favourite on this list; it reached #18 in Canada. "Dear Eloise" reached #36 in Canada (#3 in Edmonton).
Rhythm for Dream in reverse. First ,but not only, Hollies song I learned to play.

Always loved "Would you Believe", a song that is ethereally beautiful that really takes off.
Dear Eloise is my favorite Hollies song!
Two of my favorite Hollies songs are Put Yourself In My Place from Hollies (65) and The Games We Play from Evolution. They were never released as singles but should have been.
"Sorry Suzanne" should be on the list
"Dear Eloise" and especially "Very Last Day" were superhits in Sweden.

I enjoyed their 1974 track entitled 'Son of a rotten gambler', that one never gets mentioned.

Aa a long time follower of the Hollies, you are spot on the list!!!
The Hollies have literally DOZENS of songs that should have been hits. Their albums are full of them.
Peculiar Situation was one of my favorites though i didn't hear it here in America for many years. Don't know if it's mentioned just started watching this. You Know He Did is too Louie to have been a chart hit-we already heard THAT riff several times by then
I've always liked Pay You Back With Interest.
I thought Another Night would be a hit in the mid 70's but it was a miss. Great track.
It is. "Lonely Hobo Lullaby" was another great track from the "Another Night" album, but seems to have been released as a single only in New Zealand.
A good list , but you forgot ' It's You ' , B side of Stop Stop Stop !!
You know he did was the B-side of I'm alive, nothing else.
Two more of my favorites that weren't huge hits: Their cover of Dylan's "When My Ship Comes In." A song that is a lot of fun with great harmonies and a nice banjo with it.

.....😂😂😂 🤣🤣😅😅😁😂😅😭🤣
They have a MUCH deeper catalog!
They could have had many more hits but they insisted on partial writing credits for songs they recorded, even when they didn't write them at all
Not sure these are the best examples.
LONG COOL WOMAN IN A BLACK DRESS
pretty hood post. Are you sure So Lonely, Pay You Back With Interest and Would You Believe were not hits or at least minor hits.
And you missed ne of their most perfect and catchy songs Time For Love.

Narrated by that AI voice again, you should not be surprised.
" Wings" was quite a decent track but the other 8 songs were pretty bad!🤷
There's a reason a song gets relegated to the B side, mate.
Look through any Window is great. I figured On a Carousel was a hit. I am not feeling it for Wings, Dear Eloise, Don't Run and Hide and others songs. None are bad, just not hits. I would put King Midas in Reverse on the potential hit list. I almost feel this is a put on. The Hollies were great but not great enough to have 20 hits. stop stop stop all this nonsense, and now I have to leave.
You having a laugh these are b sides for a reason thumbs down
Yet so many of the Beatles crappy songs made it. All to do with money and PR.
Two out of the 9 were worth listening to pay back with interest and dear Elouise, but the rest I see they wouldn’t make any charts they were just horrible songs.
Would have preferred more music and less talk.
Nonsense music. Try Procol Harum.
I love PH but I also love The Hollies. I guess I'm not a musical snob 😆
