Bugger it, can I include Cream too? |
James, all the dairy industry knows that "The Cream rises to the top".
And since Jack Bruce filled in on bass for The Hollies shortly before Cream got going, it's a logical choice.

Who could leave out Cream, eh ?
A genuine supergroup.
& Jack Bruce in The Hollies ? Wow ! Now that's a nice slice of trivia.
He has been regarded as the greatest rock/blues base player ever. He also had a great voice as demonstrated on many of Cream's songs
AND how could I leave off the fantasic "Easybeats" ?
An aussie 60's group that made a massive impact.
Some their great songs were :-
Friday on my mind
Sorry
Wedding Ring
Pretty girl
She's so fine
Women
Now, looking at the faves on here, & all loving Hollies music, you all will just LOVE these songs.
Had that driving beat that is impossible to sit still to. |

Easybeats, of course! I could fit them among my top 20 I've got four albums. Great! |

He wasn't technically a member of the band, but subbed on bass (between Eric and Bernie) for "After the Fox", from the movie of the same name. The song also featured Peter Sellers on spoken vocals and composer/arranger Burt Bacharach on piano...quite an esoteric group of musicians!
I believe John Paul Jones filled in on bass during the same period...I want to say "Don't Run and Hide", but am not sure.
The fact the Easybeats weren't bigger on the international stage after they left Australia has always left me "falling off the edge of the world" a bit. Totally incomprehensible that such a talented band could only garner one big international hit (Friday on My Mind). I think they were an even bigger influence on musicians. Meat Loaf, David Bowie, Lou Reed and members of Kiss were all fans. |

And let's not forget that Mitch Mitchell played drums. This was during the recording of 'Evolution' when Bobby was sick (& he didn't sound as tight as Bobby does). |

Yeah, B.E. is missed on some of those Evolution tracks. |
