I've always been a big fan of that strong four-to-the-bar pulse. It really gets the feet bouncing and makes you want to dance!

I have been a Pretty Things fan since the mid-sixties. It's amazing to me that they're still together these days with two original members. To me, they're the ultimate cult band. Love them. The first album kicks ***, the second is proto garage rock, SF Sorrow was the first real rock opera, Parachute was praised by Rolling Stone magazine, etc. The group has produced great music for decades, with almost no acceptance in the USA at all.

There's a new deluxe reissue of Parachute coming out soon- my favorite Pretty things LP.
Kick out the style, bring back the Jam.
