Mod band? No, of course not! :-)

Small Faces - Mod band or not?

(I might add some others later. Spencer Davis Group for example, see below)

Anyone else here old enough to remember them?
And their audience at the time?

There's a much better version of All or Nothing than that :


And it's already in the Basement somewhere.

Have another so-called 'Mod' band - with a typically understated performance from Pete Townsend


And yet another 'Mod' band performing the title song to a popular satirical quiz programme - note the opening shout - "Punk Rock - Power"


Maybe Billy Joel got it right back in 1980

No mate, George plays proper R & B !

[Velton]

"No mate, George plays proper R & B !"

Yes mate!
Proper Rock'n'Roll.
Maybe "proper R & B " as well.

"No particular place to go" and "Johnny B. Goode" are not Rock'nRoll?
I doubt that Chuck Berry would agree!
