One of the best Rock Bands ever....
 
In 1964 and 1965, this this group from Tottemham, North London, spotted the Beatles song-for-song. They appeared on the influential Ed Sullivan Show a record-breaking 18 times between 1964 and 1968 and had 17 hits on the Billboard Top 40.

“Their music reverberated, primarily because it was percussion-based, which was both original and distinctive,” remarked Bruce Springsteen in 2014. “For kids like me, their recordings were like instant adrenaline shots.”

And, as Paul McCartney once commented, “We all should have all taken business lessons from Dave. John and I lost millions and millions of pounds because of our mismanagement. Dave Clark never did. He got it when none of us cared.”

Paul McCartney also called “Because” a “daunting song to match if you happened to be in the rival band. Those blokes threw everything they had into that one.” Brian Wilson recently called “’Because’ one of the two or three best songs that were recorded in 1964.” Throughout that summer, this gorgeous single dominated the radio waves on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching number one in North America by the Fourth of July. Hearing it all these years years later, you realize that such indelible musical memories still beat inside of you like a second heart.

Here is "Because" by the Dave Clark Five:

And my favorite, "Glad All Over":

They were hot between 1964-1967. Broke up in 1970. I wouldn't call a band that was hot for 3 years one of the best rock bands ever.

Not to argue with you, but they were together for 8 years (1962-1970), more than the Beatles. They sold over 100 million records. They had 20 Top Ten records. If you think that's weak, I'm sorry.

The Beatles were together from 1962 to 1970 (8 years). The Dave Clark Five were together from 1959 to 1970 (11 years). Please excuse my mistake in my earlier post.

Doesn't matter how long the Beatles were together, their music is played by just about every style of music from Rock, Jazz, Country, blues and many top artist from Frank Sinatra to many major Philharmonics. The Dave Clark Five were much bigger in the UK than the US. Not that the R&R Hof is much, bet they don't even consider them. I grew up in that age and the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, The Rascals, Lovin Spoonful, Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac, even the fricken Monkees were more popular. And they were't considered one of the greatest rock groups except maybe The Who, Moody Blues and the Beach Boys.



Dave Clark five :spdchk:

The Beatles were hot from 63-69 when they broke up and became great solo Artist.. Dave Clark Five broke up in 1970 because nobody wanted to hear the bubblegum 3 minute songs that were popular in junior high dances. Rock passed them by and they weren't talented enough to continue being a popular rock band.

The Monkees sold over 75 million records, are they one of the best rock bands?

McDonalds has sold 987 trillion hamburgers are they one of the best burgers.

This should have been your title.

People that cook a expensive steak WD and use Hienz 57 on just about everything. Thinks a McRib is better than a Chateaubriand for two. Has zero opinion on food or music. :kick:

I like the Dave Clark Five. I went through a phase last year of listening to all the 60 stuff I group up with, but was too young to appreciate. I still like that era of music. Mersey beat stuff too.

ZipZap 12-25-2020 10:50pm

Not terribly fond of the 60's music. While I'm sure it was "groundbreaking" at the time, it's just boring three chord noise now.

What do you think Metal is? Or basically rock, country, blues, blue grass, or Gospel. You don't want 1 4 5 then listen to jazz or guys like Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Frank Zappa, or better yet Allan Holdsworth. :cert:

Until Led Zeppelin came on board.

I respect his choice of music since he probably grew up listing to when he was young. I venture to guess that lspencer534 is probably in his 70's at least. Led Zeppelin came out when I was a freshman in high school. So most of my music tastes will be from the late 60's to the early 90's. I don't care for the Beatles music, but I do like a few of the Rolling Stones music. One of my favorite is "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" the long version.

Yep. Gonna have to see who the Holdsworth guy is.

Rush, Peter Gabriel, et al. Metal is boring.

Allan Holdworth and then everyone else. :yesnod:


"I’ve known Allan and his music for 30 years now, and after all this time he still amazes me. His concept is still advancing with his playing, and his technical prowess, which is phenomenal, is in complete harmony with his musical direction—and this is a very advanced direction. I recall a show I saw him at in London about 14 years ago. After the concert I said to him, ‘If I knew what you were doing, I’d steal everything, but I don’t know what you are doing!’ Allan laughed." - John McLaughlin


"Holdsworth is the best in my book. He's fantastic. I love him." - Eddie Van Halen


“Allan’s beautiful and unique chord voicings have always had an impact on me. His approach to guitar is one of a kind. He pushes the limits of the boundaries of electric guitar, and his lead phrasing would make Charlie Parker smile. His playing is essential listening for any guitarist, of any style, so they can see that the only limits we have are the ones we put on ourselves.” - Eric Johnson


"I totally agree that Allan is one of the greatest guitarists ever - his work on the mid-70's Tony Williams records was revolutionary and changed everything for guitarists everywhere. It is a real mystery to me why he is not a household name. but it really doesn't matter, his contribution is large and I think all musicians know it. - Pat Metheny


"I think Allan Holdsworth is the John Coltrane of the guitar. I don't think anyone can do as much with the guitar as Allan Holdsworth can." - Robben Ford


“He sure has made an impression on me; he does things I have not heard the guitar do... He's not trying new things, he's mastering them.” - George Benson



One of the most interesting guys on guitar on the planet is Allan Holdsworth. I really respect his playing... [Allan Holdsworth] deserves credit for single-handedly reinventing the electric guitar..." - Frank Zappa



“He [Allan Holdsworth]’s amazing, I told him that I didn't understand what he was playing and he said 'likewise'. What I admire about players like Allan is that they are pure musicians, he doesn't have to dress up to get onstage, he doesn't need to. In a way he makes it possible for people like me to get up on a stage and do what I do." - Gary Moore




... Allan plays legato parts like a violinist. His right hand might as well be a bow, because his left hand is like Paganini’s. You can call his playing whatever you want to, but it will still fry your brain if you try to figure it out. John McLaughlin, Michael Stern, John Scofield—all of us just scratch our heads and go, ‘Damn!’... ... He has something totally beautiful. I give him more credit than anyone for just pure expression in soloing...” - Carlos Santana



... Besides being emotionally swept away by Allan’s use of melodic color, most of the time I am utterly stunned and confused as to how he is playing what I am hearing. His chops and inner ear completely defy my own inner musical eye and reasoning and I’m left in a blissful state of humility and surrender.” - Steve Vai



"Allan Holdsworth also has a strong style. A long time ago, Jens took me to see him in a small club in New York. I had to take my hat off to him." - Yngwie Malmsteen



"Hearing Allan’s guitar playing for the first time was a cathartic experience for me. His guitar sang, it pushed musical boundaries, and it rocked. His brilliant approach to harmony is completely original, beautiful and spellbinding. His technique and improvisational skills make him a true guitar god, the jaw dropping kind, and the kind that influences many a player in all styles of music... ... To witness him playing with Tony Williams’ band, a Gibson SG around his neck, Small Stone Phaser and Marshall stack in tow, at the intimate club My Father’s Place in Roslyn, NY, was something I’ll never forget. He ripped a hole in the guitarist’s-space-time-continuum that night! And we’ve never been the same... ... Allan Holdsworth changed the way people play the electric guitar, both musically and physically. He is a true genius." - Joe Satriani

Even Jazz, fundamentally, is 251. There is just more exploration into modal playing, intervals, Melodic Major/Minor etc. In short, actual theory and thought.

Yes, we're the children who grew up listening to Jethro Tull, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, Ry Cooder, David Bromberg, Nat King Cole, Lou Reed, Charlie Daniels, Springsteen, Muddy Waters, BB, Cream, Simon and Garfunkel, and a host of others some more obscure but no less talented. Every generation has great music which lives well beyond its creation.

Masses of good music no longer exists. That died in the 90s in my opinion. Now there are a few gems now and then. But no wide spread volumes of good music.

AUTOHOLIC 09-03-2023 1:36pm

Just stumbling around this site I came across this thread. I find it interesting that I did not see any mention of The Rolling Stones?
In my OPINION they are the definitive rock and roll band and Satisfaction is the definitive rock and roll song. There are not too many songs that you can recognize in the first three notes but the Stones had many.
They have been around forever with MANY hit songs.
I too like the Dave Clark 5 as well as numerous other popular bands from the 60s and70s as those were my formative years.

Being good in business in music isn't rocket science unless you were as naïve as the Monkeys or as druggy whacked out as Grand Funk Railroad - both bands took it up the gumpstump by being stupid.

As to the Dave Clark 5, I don't know that they were that much of stand out vs other bands of the era, but they got promoted a lot.

He was salt of the earth.
I once referred to him as Atticus Finch as words of endearment. He was ok with it. A true southern gentleman. Old school. I hope to meet him in the next life.

I don't know about some of you guys.

Never paid money for any music other than hard rock/metal. Most music during the 60's I heard on the radio. No choice, record players weren't portable. Bought a few albums and a bunch of tapes in the 70's but had to settle for what was available. Being limited to what some faceless nitwit wants to sell you is problematic, no doubt about it. Bought most of my LPs in the 80's, 10 or 12 for a dollar as I recall. Found some good stuff doing that but 90% of it was trash.

Metal music is boring? I didn't like every song but compared to the alternative of being force fed the disco garbage that statement is overly broad. That was pretty much the end of my music buying days. By the 90's jungle music had taken over (disco for the demented). I suppose if that's what floats your boat enjoy, but stay away from me hahaha.

Got a decent sized stash of CDs during the early 2000's but I didn't pay for it. My kids were feeding it to me. Not shabby and it's still most of what I listen to these days. About twenty years ago the youngest talked me into going to a record store with him. Sure, great excuse to go for a ride in the new Vette. Bought a White Zombie CD. The ride home was... Fun :leaving:

I still buy NEW CDs on Amazon that are 60s, 70s and 80s. I only buy greatest hits CDs. Every now and then I am reminded of a group that I haven heard in years a and investigate what is available.

It was always a treat to see that Tank made it back home, all beat to shit, but alive. The way he talked about his daughter made you know that he loved her dearly and would do anything for her.

I guess all successful attorneys need to be good storytellers, but Larry was exceptional.

We would talk often on FB. I had no idea he passed. Surprised nobody PM'd me.
