"Who" you may say ? run the clip and I'll bet you know the song (as long as you were born before 1980)

I saw Focus play at the Rainbow in London, and still have the live album which folds open to reveal a mini replica of the wonderful 30's interior of the building.

I was there, too. And I have to admit that I saw them last year in Swindon (I was talked into it, mind). Only the organist/singer/flautist and drummer from the original lineup. Putting usual prejudices aside, they were very good.

I've just noticed I'm somehow a 'junior' member on here! FFS I'm forty bloody one - still its nice to be called junior again.

Transvision Vamp ... I drooled over the lead singer when I was a kid!

It's certainly a lot better than being referred to as a senior

The Kinks.... Lazy Sunday Afternoon: wonderfully evocative.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I think you're getting mixed up with the Small Faces. The Kinks did 'Sunny Afternoon'.

But The Kinks are hardly forgotten are they? They are one of the most respected bands in British rock history, and if anything their reputation has grown and even albums that were panned or ignored at the time are now regarded as classics... one of my favourites bands.

The Small Faces on the other hand, still don't get the praise they deserve...
