Or Band Of Gold. One band that probably wouldn't get played are Roy Wood's The Move. Their first single used (like my earlier featured group) Tchaikovsky's 1812 but weren't banned for it and got to No 2.
The Move - Night Of Fear
Essentially a brummie psych band they were also influenced by West Coast groups and songs like this and California man reflect that but as detailed in the video below they never made it in the States.
The Move - I Can Hear The Grass Grow
1st song played on radio 1
The Move - Flowers In The Rain
Last hit for the original line-up.
The Move - Fire Brigade




one of my fav groups of the late 60's.
