Stan 386 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 ... to be totally accurate Craig you are correct. Queen started in 1970 and again the concept of is 0 or 10 the first decade,i.e.1960,or1970. The group they were was around in the 60`s(Smile),but none the less,still the greatest rock band.

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 The Beatles for me (Although the Beach Boys run them a close second) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nottmdon 2 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 The Beatles for me (Although the Beach Boys run them a close second) Jerry & The Pacemakers, the Beatles, or Freddie and the Dreamers. Jerry and the Pacemakers were the first Liverpool band to have three consecutive number ones weren't they? If so they would be my choice. Freddie Garrety( not sure of spelling) died last year after many years of ill health apparently he was mooted as "Britans Answer To Buddy Holly" all I know is he could sing and make me laugh at the same time, what a brilliant guy he was.

I worked with Freddy and the Dreamers on many occasion at the Mardi Gras ,really nice people all of them. Jerry and the pacemakers were the fist act to have their first three recordings get too number one. The next time it was achieved was coincidently by another Liverpool band , Frankie goes to Hollywood in the 80's Incidentally there were other coincidences between the two acts which we can go into at a later date Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well for a start Gerry A T P first two number ones were love (with hidden inuendoes) songs as were FGTH then their third number ones had religious connection You'll never walk alone by GATP and the power of love by FGTH although it was more the video that did it for Frankie There are a lot more (I'm pretty sure I have a list some where ie someone in FGTH's auntie was Gerry's sister/cousin etc) I'll see if I can dig it out.

chrissy 1 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Me and hubby were bikers in the 60s, so we have always liked the stones. We love all 60s music and we go to a 60s music weekend at skeg every year to see about 12 bands playing. It is on at the end of october and they have bands like the fourmost,the fortunes,dave berry. The organisers of the weekend also sing and play with the dreamers. They had the troggs there 2 years ago and they were awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
