@heymaryann1 That really was the best time to be a teenager. Couldn't wait to hear a new song from The Beatles,Hollies, DC5,Moody Blues, Had my ear stuck to a transistor radio every waking minute.and 'Pirate Radio' that was the best, (Search for 'Radio Caroline'). Then again I never went backstage and had my idols sing to me. THAT IS SPECIAL. I envy you.You might want to look up TOTP. Top of the Pops on BBC. Thurs at 7:30. couldn't go out till that finished. I could go on and on...and on!

@hunkabuggy I am SO jealous, but thankful to have people that were there share their stories from that time. I remember hearing abt the bands, Carnaby St., Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, & wishing I was older & in England. I finally got to see the Hollies in 1983 but Terry, my fav, was already gone. My sister & I were chosen to go backstage & met Bobby, Tony, & Graham. Bobby was so nice & funny! He sang Hey Mary Ann (instead of Carrie Anne) to me. It was surreal meeting them at last!!

@heymaryann1 Yes. Lucky enough to be in my teens at the time. 1967 was the best year and I was 16. Club life in and around Manch was great. 'Sgt Peppers' in Stockport was the best for psychodelia. (Opposite to 'Strawberry Studios') lots of good music came out of there. All the big groups voted for their favourite group -The Bands Band!! The Hollies took the title.Remember the fights too 'Mods versus Rockers' and great fashions.Wish I had a time machine!!

@hunkabuggy Were you around in the '60s? I would've loved to have lived near Manchester/Liverpool during that exciting time. I was a kid in the '60s, living in the US, so am just discovering that era. It was difficult being a Hollies fan here bec we didn't hear much about them, but they're worth the extra effort it took to follow them. They are THE BEST!!

I think Buddy would have loved this version!!!!!
@rockon1898 Shortly before the induction I heard Terry on the radio praising Allan as the greatest pop singer of all time (I agree) & he regarded Allan & Nash as friends. He had gone to a Nash concert, they spoke of singing at the RRHOF so Nash knew his feelings. I bet Terry felt blindsided at their snubbing. Is this a pattern with some Hollies to past members? Terry has many long-lasting friendships with others in the music industry so what's the deal? I read AC is bitter bec he can't sing.
