A lovely Christmas prezzie...a salute to the Hollies! Although (as usual) it oversimplifies the reasons for Nash's departure & doesn't give Allan and Tony their due as far as songwriting creativity goes, it's still a decent tribute.

Although T*rry will probably hate it, being mentioned as an afterthought along with Peter Howarth... (cringe)

My husband said he'd leave me if I didn't stop stop stop speaking in Hollies lyrics but he didn't tell me to my face.

Yes both Terry Sylvester and Eric Haydock get rather downplayed as do the Clarke-Hicks-Sylvester and Rickfors Hollies vocal harmony teams and songwriting contributors

I wouldn't really consider Pete Wingfield or Elton John members as such rather guest musicians playing for the band while what Hollies track was Jimmy Page on ? (we know he played on 'Two Yanks in England')- does he mean John Paul Jones ?
