The Hollies were one of my favorite British Invasion bands from the 1960s. For the uninitiated, it was the first group of Graham Nash, later of Crosby, Stills and Nash, though I must say I prefer his work with the Hollies.The harmonies of Graham and lead singer Allen Clarke were one of the most thrilling in pop/rock, and remain so to this day.I've recently been expanding my Hollies collection, ...

One of my favorite obscure tracks of the Hollies comes from perhaps my favorite (U.S. version) of their albums called ??*Hear!

So I'm still basically flat on my keister, thanks to our old friend the herniated disc. And the combination of vicodin and skelaxin (don't ask me -- i don't know what it's supposed to do, either) creates the worst ADD you can imagine.

There are undescribable attributes to a perfect pop ditty. I never actually gave much though to what those attributes were...I figured if I'd listen to enough music, I would come across many that fit the bill. I was just listening to The Hollies' Tell Me to My Face off their For Certain Because album. Actually, I listened to it about 12 times in a row. It fits the bill.
