^^ They’re mentioned in The Rolling Stones blurb. They do deserve a place, as do many other acts including Manfred Mann(!), but the list couldn’t go on forever we’re afraid

They reckon 4/5 of the crowd at the USA crowd of LiveAid 85 went to see The Who on a video screen. There was nearly a riot in the power cut. Its like having a poll on Led Zep members and forgetting Plant or Page. The list cant go on but you’ve got Depeche Mode??

Not suprising that The House Of The Rising Sun is ’decidedly American-sounding’. It’s a cover of an american folk song from the 30’s.
