The Small Faces

rated:
 5 by 1 member

Small Faces were an English rock group from East London, heavily influenced by American rhythm and blues. The group was founded in 1965 by members Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston (replaced in 1966 by Ian McLagan).

They are best remembered as possibly one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s, with hit songs such as "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing", "Tin Soldier", and their concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. They later evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic acts before disbanding in 1969. After the Small Faces disbanded, three of the members were joined by Ronnie Wood (guitar) and Rod Stewart (lead vocals), both from The Jeff Beck Group, and the new line-up was renamed the Faces.

If Sergeant Pepper was the all-consuming Queen Bee of the British concept album in the 60s, then The Pretty Things' SF Sorrow represents the underground classic, and eventually The Who's Tommy the form's unnecessary nadir. One rock opera too far. This fascinating artifact from 1968 is more ... read more
