Pretty Things
This is the band who out-rolled the Stones through the early 1960s, the dirtiest, hairiest, nastiest, loudest band the world had ever seen, kicking out a non-stop stream of snarling garage beat monsters, and impressing the young David Bowie so much that he later recorded two of their songs himself, for his "Pin Ups" album.
This is the band who a young Johnny Rotten used to go check out with his mum, down at London's 100 Club, while he was still searching for the role models for what he'd become.
This is the band who recorded the world's first concept album, "S.F. Sorrow," more than a year before the Who got all the glory for "Tommy." This is the band whose next album, "Parachute," was Rolling Stone's first Album of the Year of the 1970s, and whose influence can be heard all over "Dark Side Of The Moon".
This is the band which Peter Grant was thinking of, when he first told Led Zeppelin to indulge their wildest fantasies.
And this is the band which isn't going to stop until the undertakers nail down the lid on them....
