Though they're seldom accorded the same status as 1960s UK rock legends like the Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc., the Pretty Things produced a discography fully worthy of comparison with such contemporaries. From '63 to '65, they churned out raging blues and R&B easily the equal of the early Stones (whose original formation had, in fact, included head Pretty Thing Dick Taylor). That period is handily covered here, from A-plus covers (Bo Diddley's "Road Runner") to original songs (garage-rock rave-up "Midnight to Six Man"). The Pretties matured right alongside the Beatles, as evidenced by tracks from their 1968 conceptual masterwork, S.F. SORROW, and at the start of the '70s were turning out such treats as the Kinks-like "Dream/Joey" and the Badfinger-meets-Thin Lizzy rocker "Singapore Silk Torpedo." If iconic status were accorded more for musical content than for units sold, the Pretty Things would sit comfortably atop the British rock pantheon. Until then, COME SEE ME is an excellent place to find out why they're deserving of such attention.
