The Pretty Things
Any fans out there? SF Sorrow and Parachute are amazing. I like their early rhythm and blues as well but when they turned psychedelic they seemed to hit their zenith. SF Sorrow is so much better than the overrated Tommy by The Who. It seems to have taken a few lessons from it. Parachute was voted album of the year 1970 by Rolling Stone but it didn't seem to get it noticed any which surprises me. I think they're easily one of the most underrated bands of all time.

Great band. Criminally underrated, these guys should have been huge.

Re: The Pretty Things
Even among fairly knowledgeable music fans, The Pretty Things are largely unknown. It's a shame.

Re: The Pretty Things
well at least someone knows who they are. I seriously expected a few others to reply, kind of surprising. They are kind of unknown but they're connected well I thought with Dick Taylor being an original Rolling Stones member, David Bowie covering their songs, recording at abbey road, and releasing albums on EMI, swan song etc.

If Big Star can get a career-spanning box set, there's always hope.

Re: The Pretty Things
The Pretty Things finally get some long overdue respect.

Re: The Pretty Things
Most controversial and influential band ever?

Re: The Pretty Things
Admittedly, this is a band I missed. I picked up an LP called "Silk Torpedo" by them, listened to it once, and put it into my sell box. Maybe their earlier stuff was better?
