The Pretty Things - Midnight to six man

[ginolight]

Always loved Pretty Things . Used to live across the road....

[ryanhashton]

Instrumentally, I'd say they are better than The Stones. But songwriting wise, I'm not sure about that. I'm not even a big Stones fan.

[iguanas221]

I LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO.

[mrmevcat]

This is what IT is all about

[mrmevcat]

This really is what IT is all about.

[kinkybeatle]

Brilliant.

[polaroyds]

My God they´re so fuckin cool. They don´t care. No compromises. Thats RocknRoll.And the parents HATED them. Loooove it. Wish there was a band like this today.

[mrmevcat]

@polaroyds Too right that IS what we need! try the Stairs 'weed bus' from 1992

[richardjgibson]

One of my favourites of theirs. Great band. Great sound.

[Mr27Mod]

They are bouth fucking great! PERIOD.

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

this is better than the studio version of the song for sure.....and the stones don't suck, they just weren't as good as the pretty things

[ksharicz]

Amazing live performance

[cabngirl]

Great tune!

[Sunshyne1967]

Dig this Midnight to Six stuff!

[thedirtyhippie01]

Why compare bands in the first place? Enjoy the music.

[PatrickEganLong]

this band is absolutely awesome but to call them better than the rolling stones is like calling a child's coloring book better than van goghs sketchbook

[dravidwake]

Oh this has dated. I remember it at the youth club in 1966 and we thought it was the coolest thing ever...

[DoctorBohr]

That's a pretty 'groovy' audience of Arts students

[disjoinedchip2]

dick taylor was originally a rolling stone.

[disjoinedchip2]

unusual sound for that time.

[chizknocka]

who's the drummer?? dude's rawer than demon hide

[mikekadas]

Midnight To Six Man - The Pretty Things [England] - 1965 - "the song is a BRASH, roaring celebration of the group's nocturnal pursuits on London's club scene." - Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From The British Empire And Beyond, Vol. 1-2001. NOTE The Pretty Things was one of my better finds. :-)

[lefrauens]

Dig this!

[CHURINFUNFLAIS]

They sound Heavy, Kind like the Open Mind!

[yahood66]

@angrysamoan666, chatting music... now THAT'S what you're good at. Mentioning The Jefferson Airplane and Skip proves it. Forget the bullshit.

[yahood66]

WILL YOU ASSSSSS'OLES JUST FUCK OFF AND DIE. I HAD ENOUGH YESTERDAY.

[angrysamoan666]

@yahood66 LOL

Skip Allan ruled. He's the fiend from hell. Also his look is very the best.

From Jefferson Aeroplane comes Skip Spence who taked his image and replicates it even finer IMHO.

[11xzxzxz]

Wow Iggy Pop before he got all skinny and taunt

[angrysamoan666]

@11xzxzxz Fuck off, Iggy copied this cunt obviously

[11xzxzxz]

@angrysamoan666 Laugh laugh I though you' die .. It's seemed so funny to me.. When humorless angry moaners like you respond it is never "reasoned". You all have videos like the ten funniest Jackie Chen moments and you guys all have the worst taste in music and rarely have any music videos up. Movies and savage thinking just don't go together.

[angrysamoan666]

@11xzxzxz Amazing what an o-level does for your western brain IMHO

Middlebrow cuntish thinking LOL

[11xzxzxz]

@angrysamoan666 For the last time .. shut-up you have nothing to contribute.

[angrysamoan666]

@11xzxzxz Darling you finished your Pacific Island studies for now?

We Samoans have books LOL

Also it dont matter how stoopid you are if you watch the pretty things thats good. Be my girlfrend. I like long hair LOL

[yahood66]

@Stumblefuck, Dic head! You haven't a clue. FuckOff n stumble crossing a busy road*SMASH* rip

[yahood66]

@MODTRASH, nice one. You know the band well, unlike a couple of prics on here! The band shoulda been as big as The Rolling Stones. Easily. This tune's a CLASSIC

[cookmoore]

So cool!

[inakiota]

too good to be recognised

[debiedog1]

Not the original drummer (Viv Prince)

[angrysamoan666]

@debiedog1 Pretty Things had some great loonies on the drum

[MODTRASH]

One of the best r'n'b acts of their era!

[armjos1]

BRILLIANT,Definds the whole Mod outlook of life.

Fecking shit hot.

[Stumblefuck]

Fuck off you mod poof, this is PUNK ROCK.

[armjos1]

You are one big dumbfuck,what do you know about the mod scene.tHE PRETTY THINGS WROTE THIS SONG ABOUT THE MOD WAY OF LIFE,TAKING SPEED AND DANCING AL NIGHT AND CRASHING OUT ALL DAY.THERE YOU GO YOU HAVE HAD AN IMPORTANT LESSON YOU WANKER.

[Stumblefuck]

Get back on your scooter you pathetic pretentious mod fuck, go fuck your own arsehole! Enjoy your all-nite dancing at the gay disco - FAGGOT.

[armjos1]

you do like to refer to people as gay all the time.come on admit it,you like it up your arse you fat spotty little little turd.then you can loose your virginity.

[angrysamoan666]

@Stumblefuck You gay then LOL

[11xzxzxz]

@angrysamoan666 Only gays use LOL. Real men use ha. And it's You're gay not You gay then..

[angrysamoan666]

@11xzxzxz Wow you must hang around with gay a lot to know such information

Thanks wankdog, you said it yourself LOL

[11xzxzxz]

@angrysamoan666 Yeah once I had a good friend who was but he was a prick you cunt and so what? Did you know those who put down gays the most have the most erections when watching homoerotic film. It's called "reactive formation" but you need to read a book to know.

[ginolight]

Thank you ZeropointZero70, I 'll try to trace the groups that youu mention.

[retronostalgic]

It's amazing how little has changed in 40 odd years. A lot of bands still look and sound similar to this today!

[ginolight]

all new musicians should make a school of Pretty Things...Things would be better !

[ZeropointZero70]

there's a whole contingent of new acts doing this type of music. Listen to Little Steven's underground garage. They mix this music with the new groups and you can't tell the difference. It's like 1965-69 eternally. They also throw some great R+B and Stax/Volt soul in the mix to keep it varied. Sirius satellite radio broadcasts it 24 hrs a day. I'm not sure when they broadcast the 2 hr standard FM broadcast. Google it.

[1974rail]

the rolling stones suck dick lol

[drifter91247]

@1974rail ok but who or rather what are YOU?

[angrysamoan666]

@1974rail Yes. Cocksucker Blues was a homosexual lyric but I think perhaps not true IMHO

Evidence? No. Truly no bumming stories about Jagger ever did come out.

Iggy and Bowie did it for him LOL

[TomRaymondUK]

Better than the Rolling Stones, I reckon.

[SuperSkyeboy]

@TomRaymondUK wouldnt go that far but brilliant

[PAULLONDEN]

THÉ PRETTY THINGS wot can I say I haven't said before, TELL ME SOME MORE,allright then TAKE IN SOME SOUNDS !!!
