Comment:

From the British Invasion to freeform FM’s radio-dial liberation, the Who might’ve been bigger and louder than most, but they damn sure weren’t alone. Call ’em the Who in reverse: the Small Faces weren’t a band that picked up mod fashion; instead, they were gang of mods who picked up instruments. With “All or Nothing,” a tear-your-heart-out chunk of blue-eyed soul that topped the U.K. charts, they emerged as Townshend & co.’s chief rivals for the hearts and minds of the mod masses. Keith Moon once suggested that a proposed supergroup of Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, John Entwistle, and himself would go down “like a lead zeppelin”; turns out the name stuck, even though the lineup (and spelling) didn’t. Page’s post-Yardbirds band’s bottom-end-pummeling shuffle “Good Times Bad Times” kicks off a debut album that launched Led Zeppelin into arena rock’s stratosphere right from its opening power chord. And David Bowie rockets [i]beyond[/i] the stratosphere — into outer space — for “Ziggy Stardust,” from his rock opera/concept album featuring a messiah who plays guitar . . . not pinball. But don’t stop there; rockers, mods, and guitar gods, from Jimi Hendrix to the Zombies, are only a mouse-click away.
