In one fell swoop, the band upgraded their standing from "average Joes" to intelligentsia. Emboldened by Tommy's success, Townshend's songwriting became increasingly self-centered and confessional. While "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Love, Reign O'er Me" are simply sublime, much of the Who's '70s material is bogged down by the band's internal conflicts and Townshend's downward spiral into alcohol and drug abuse. The public began to feel that the band had simply overstayed its welcome. Fans had a hard time forgiving the spokesmen of angry youth for getting old, and the band seems to have had a difficult time forgiving themselves. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1185&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Art & Progressive Rock Tue, 8 Dec 2009 09:16:48 -0800 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1185 art.1185 The Moody Blues art.1185 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1185&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1185&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Days of Future Passed(1967). Embraced by flower children and art rock lovers alike, the album-story winds through a prototypical day before ending with their most famous song, "Nights in White Satin." Over the top? Absolutely. Pretentious? Possibly. So, the Moodies dropped the orchestra and placed more importance on keyboardist Mike Pinder's mellotron and the rest of the group's ability as multi-instrumentalists. The streamlined sound served them well, especially on songs such as the joyous rocker "Ride My See-Saw." After making a series of albums in this vein, the band went on hiatus, only to reemerge in the late 1970s. They never again broke new ground in popular music, but they did have enjoy a few more hits, most notably "Your Wildest Dreams" (1986). The band has continued frequent touring and the sporadic release of records into the present day, with Keys of the Kingdom, Strange Times and December appearing in 1991, 1999 and 2003, respectively. - Will Lerner]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38141&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss British Invasion Tue, 8 Dec 2009 09:16:48 -0800 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38141 art.38141 The Kinks art.38141 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38141&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38141&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Part One (1970). The record is a cutting, acerbic look at the music industry, and the song "Lola" put the band back on top -- and what a song to do so, as it's become the most famous song in the rock 'n' roll oeuvre to deal with gender-swapping and/or transvestism. The Kinks continued to record powerful singles and solid albums, but their fame rests firmly on their utterly unique early material. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3835&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Folk-Rock Tue, 8 Dec 2009 09:16:48 -0800 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3835 art.3835 Donovan art.3835 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3835&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3835&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Details readers are into his son's band Nancy Boy, but aging Aquarians know that Donovan was one of the key artists of the revolutionary 1960s. He started his career as Britain's answer to Bob Dylan, and his first two acoustic folk albums are charming, low-key winners; but he turned into a "Sunshine Superman" just in time for the Psychedelic revolution. If all you've heard from Donovan is "Mellow Yellow," do yourself a favor and check out his late '60s material. He remained a folk-popper at heart and the ultra-groovy production touches are completely in key with the current Indie scenes in America and Europe. Donovan's career didn't survive the post-Altamont age of '70s cynicism, but in 1996 he cut his album Sutras with Rick Rubin, showing that his flowery style is as groovadelic as ever. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62041&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Blue-Eyed Soul Fri, 4 Dec 2009 13:20:24 -0800 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62041 art.62041 Dusty Springfield art.62041 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62041&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62041&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Dusty in Memphis with Aretha Franklin's production team.

The Manchester-bred quintet's early U.K. hits were watery versions of American R&B discs such as Maurice Williams and the Zodiac's "Stay" and Doris Troy's "Just One Look." When they began melding their vocal harmonies with more thumping band sounds and songs that better reflected their distinctly English sensibility, the Hollies' records became something truly special. Writer-for-hire Graham Gouldman (who also gave "Heart Full of Soul" to the Yardbirds and later became a focal point of 10cc) provided unstoppable smashes like "Bus Stop" and "Look Through Any Window," which snugly fit in the band's repertoire alongside originals such as "Carrie Anne" and "Pay You Back With Interest."

The Hollies' slightly fey quality perfectly fit the psychedelic-influenced pop of 1967, and they made one of the most timeless singles of that genre with "King Midas in Reverse." Nash was unhappy to see it stall at No. 18 in Britain, however, and was further disillusioned when the group rejected his "Marrakesh Express." Upon his departure, the Hollies recruited Terry Sylvester and went on to some of their biggest American successes. They introduced "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," a standard on the talk show and Vegas circuits, and later hit with the 180-degree turnaround of "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," which repackaged Creedence's "Travelin' Band" into an anthem with an incomprehensible vocal. Their final big U.S. hit came two years later with 1974's "The Air That I Breathe," another big ballad that proved hard for listeners to resist. Personnel changes continued, with singer Allan Clarke notably in and out in the mid-'70s. Nash rejoined for one album, What Comes Around, in 1983; past glories, though, were hard to regain. Clarke retired in the '90s, to be replaced by Move singer Carl Wayne, who died in 2004. Though now a hobbling concern, the Hollies will forever be remembered by hardcore fans and casual admirers as the makers of a high stack of rock 'n' roll classics. - Jaan Uhelszki]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6300&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss British Invasion Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:27:18 -0800 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6300 art.6300 The Animals art.6300 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6300&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6300&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61025&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss British Invasion Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:38:30 -0800 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61025 art.61025 The Beatles art.61025 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61025&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61025&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Abbey Road, was arguably the most advanced popular music of the time.

In his work with the Beatles and solo, Harrison blended earthy Roots tones with droning eastern influences and cascading melodies. Compared to Lennon's barbed and bluesy grit or McCartney's jaunty pop sensibilities, the sound was organic and blooming, huge yet worldly. His songs unfolded unpredictably and took the listener to unfamiliar sonic regions. Music enthusiasts credit him for integrating eastern sounds into western music -- Harrison introduced the sitar and Indian ragas to pop music. He also spearheaded the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971, a music festival assembled to benefit Bengali refugees of the India-Pakistan war.

Led by Marriott's howling vocals, the Small Faces soon earned a huge following with 45s such as "Whatcha Gonna Do About It?" (later a feature of the Sex Pistols' live set) and "All or Nothing."

After extricating itself from an onerous arrangement with English music biz strongman Don Arden, the band moved to Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate Records, which did little for their poor financial condition. (The Small Faces' royalty situation wouldn't be corrected until the 1990s, after Marriott's death and shortly before that of writer/bassist Ronnie Lane – and then, according to McLagan, only partially.) Their Immediate phase saw them releasing some of the most British rock records of the era, including the concept album Ogden's Nut Gone Flake and the delightful single "The Universal." When Marriott walked offstage on New Year's Eve 1968, headed for Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, the Small Faces might have been done.

But for Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood (who'd recently left the Jeff Beck Group after two albums), who kept the band going. Newly signed to Warner Bros., the group made one more album under their old name before abbreviating it to Faces. As Stewart's star rose, so did the band's; by early 1972, they were an unstoppable live favorite and ruled the airwaves with "Stay With Me," a hit just months after Rod the Mod's own "Maggie May." Lane's peculiarly personal songs were mainstays of Faces albums; "Ooh La La" later achieved a second round of popularity as the closing song of the film Rushmore and in a car advertisement. With Stewart headed for Hollywood and Wood filling Mick Taylor's shoes in the Rolling Stones, the Faces split in late 1975. But both incarnations of the band remain beloved of musicians and fans, with everyone from Paul Weller to Paul Westerberg praising them. Their affection for one another, and for their music, continue to ring through their recordings. - Jaan Uhelszki]]>

http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.27752&variant=data&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Shazam is one of those albums folks pay $30 for on eBay. Formed in Birmingham in 1965 by Wood and a collection of local stars, the Move took their cues from the Beach Boys, Moby Grape, the Beatles and soul music, packing slyly funny songs with startling guitar-work and vocal arrangements. The tactics used on ELO's "Roll Over Beethoven" were first employed by the Move, as "Night of Fear" was built on a motif lifted from Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture." By the time of their 1971 album, Message from the Country (their last), the band (now with Lynne involved) was writing straight-up country songs and referencing Southern gospel. By then, legal issues and waning popularity ground their progress to a halt, and the sudden success of ELO put the final nail in the coffin. - Mike McGuirk]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4095&rws=%2Foldies%2Fbritish-invasion%2Fartist-chart.rss Merseybeat Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:22:03 -0700 Top British Invasion Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4095 art.4095 Billy J.
