RANKING: THE TOP 10 UK BANDS OF THE 60S, NOT INCLUDING THE BEATLES AND THE STONES

Peter, Shaun and Tim discuss their favourite 60s bands, minus ‘the big two’. How does the British rock and pop scene stand up without its two most famous elements? The guys discuss: the difference between musical contributions and cultural contributions, the influence of folk and blues, what it means to say that a band made its key contributions in the 60s (if they continued into the 70s) and whether the musicianship at the time matched the songwriting. Also, which 60s pop drummer was the best? Which band looked coolest on the Ed Sullivan show? And which 60s musicians would play which role in a hypothetical casting of Oliver?
