The Hollies are so great, still one of the best bands ever!

If anybody deserves to be in the rock hall of fame it's these guys. No one had cooler or better sounding harmonies.

mclain8855 i have heard that Jerry Garcia pulled strings and got a bunch of his studio buddies admitted. A guy thta had only played with the Dead one time! Ididnt think Garcia was like that. Too bad i always admired him. The Guess Who...way overdue , at least Burton Cummings. Thats why this whole thing is a farce. I mean look at their MC.

TRUTH

the world will never experience this kind or originality again until the world is as free as the world was back then.

The " incomparable " Hollies.......the greatest... most prolific.....underrated group......ever....BAR NONE.

The Hollies were probably the longest running Rock/Pop Groups to ever bless us with some magnificent songs by the ever best ever produced out of England..I loved there music..

Tony is still one of my top 10 guitarists of all time.

Allan Clarke and Tony Hicks on guitar a world class band 💯 never to be forgotten 😎👌🙏✊🏽✊🏽

I am very proud to say that I am a Hollies fan ;{D

I've always liked The Hollies.

The Hollies have such a distinct harmonic sound that you know its them even if it's a song you never heard. A few years back, there was a Planters ad using an obscure Hollies song whose title slips my mind. Graham Nash has had the great forturne to be in two Hall of Fame acts that have instantly recognizable harmonies in the service of songs that are still with us.

Wonderful Group......Britain gave us incredible talents in the mid 60's still great to listen to...

WHAT A DECADE! The Hollies The Beatles The Rolling Stones The Animals The Zombies The Searchers Gerry And The Pacemakers Freddie And The Dreamers Chad And Jeremy Peter And Gordon Dave Clark Five The Yard Birds The Beegees Cliff Richard And The Shadows The Seekers The Beach Boys Roy Orbison And so on...

I can't believe it took till 2010 to get these guys in the Hall.

Great all time band.

My 2 favourites are, he ain’t heavy, and The air that I breathe ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing display of various clips of The Hollies!!! Congratulations to each member of the group, much deserved this award.

the hollies great rock and roll

While listening to the radio when I was pregnant, I wondered what name I would choose if I had a girl. Had no ideas until I listened to the song Carrie Anne. I said That’s what I’m gonna name my daughter, I had a girl. And I did! Thanks to The Hollies.

Love these guys!!! I was born in the wrong decade!!!

I was born in the right one! I first heard them on the BBC wireless and then BBC TV in the early mid-60s when we lived in Malta - I fell in love with Tony Hicks - the MOST underrated guitar god rocker ever! He sang play guitar, had the best hair (by about '66) and gorgeous eyes. He's still fab - as cute as Paul McC. Love the Hollies, and not because my name is Holly.

Welcome to the Stevie Van Zant show featuring a brief appearance by the Hollies.

Jd Mc in the 80s.....you mised the boat. The heyday was the late 60s. Maybe early 70s. Thye may have recorded a song in the 80s, but I dont remember them touring. They were considred an Oldies band by then. Like The Searchers, orFourmost, etc. they wouldnt have fit in with the Disco thing in the 80s and late 70s. To their credit. It was garbage. A badtime for music. All of the 80s.

That is the ending of "Pay You Back With Interest" which is on most of the greatest hits packages. And one of their best.

Thanks for all the parts you posted!!! The Hollies are great. I saw them live 2 years ago and they still GREAT!!!! 5*

My it is easy to forget how many fantastic songs this band released, the should be included in ANY history of pop music, they had more solid hits than any of the big 3 of the 60s

What a fantastic montage!!

Love that montage..Surprised they didn't put "Stop, Stop, Stop" and "The Air That I Breathe" in there, but still really good..Was glad to see them finally put into the RRHOF

Next to the Beatles the Hollies were the best "british invasion" bands---no question.

From..chile....my opinion.....this is the band..most verdatile...and....legendary.... love the blues and rock and roll......allan clarke is big frontman....i like it

They're a wonderful group - I don't know why people must rate them compared to all other English groups. I certainly rather like Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Stones, The Beatles, Yes, Derek and the Dominos, Faces, 10cc, The Zombies, Delaney and Bonnie, The Yardbirds, Dave Clark Five - and a few hundred others! It doesn't reduce my great liking of The Hollies. There's much really distinctive about Look Through any Window and Pay Me Back with Interest and Bus Stop. But you can't deny there's much distinctive about the music of the other groups I've just named.

spine tingles ....magic

What a great band. Legends!

just amazing......:)) a classic band......thanks for the share aristacourt :)

The Hollies En El Salon de La Fama del Rock and roll Se merecen Muchachos uno de mis grupos favoritos

Fantastic!♥

51 was a good year to be born, especially for music, and the British invasion

Such an under-appreciated band. They are one of my all time favorites. Why did they not get inducted until 2010?! They deserved to be inducted at least 20 to 25 years ago...not sure when they started doing R&R HoF.

Thank you soooo much for posting this sapphiretaurus!! I grieved when I found out our local cable station did not carry the channel showing the RHOF inductions!! I really wish they could have all been there especially my fave Tony Hick-but I understand when you have a previous commitment you should honor it. Congrats to The Hollies!! Well done boys!

Fabulous! Thank you and to aristacourt for sharing!

Just a happy talented good looking band love the Hollie’s ❤❤❤

I've just seen these guys tonight. Still original drummer and guitarist (Tony Hicks). Half empty theatre, sadly. These songs are timeless, try and see them before it's too late.

a fine group

They were ace..on a par with the Beatles. Perfect layered pop songs..so.much talent in that band. Their tunes are classic..the intros you know instantly who they are....

Di nanda, Rolando! Gracias y God Bless You, too!

I love the Hollies and was very glad that they got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, I am sad that Terry Sylvester was not included in the introduction clips. He had cause to feel slighted.

What could be a cooler story than two kids getting together in primary school and staying friends long enough to make amazing harmonies and music that will last for centuries? Graham may not have been "plugged in" instrumentally, but he and his mates sure as hell were plugged in vocally...

@Poopaloo55 Downright adorable! I love that Mancunian accent!

Yes I could see that-but it was insulting to Terry to not show at least a clip or two post-Graham Nash. Terry was very much a part of the group when they had their later hits.

Nik Cohn was an acute and fearless pop 'n'rock critic, but IMHO he got it badly wrong about the Hollies. Called them " ... a perfect hit machine; they never missed and were very boring". Man ain't got no cultcha!

They deserved it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

as fate would have it,Graham Nash is at the bus stop going to Miami Florida!

Wow, you've said exactly what I've been saying ! The Beastie Boys ? The Hall of Fame lost it's credibility.

Excelente..

@mikelandonsgirl You're welcome, Gaby! The Hollies rock!

@TheOtherFifthBeatle You're in good company!

magic

According to a comment Terry made after the ceremony, he said he didn't arrive at the hotel until March 14th, and the rehearsals had been going on since the 12th. I don' know what the RNRHOF's policy is with rehearsals and whether you have to be invited or not, but no one has made any mention of being invited to them. Bobby and Tony could not come because they had a prior commitment - another concert taking place on the 17th and were in rehearsals prior to that, so they could not come.

@katdowli Thanks, Kat! I'd like to know where those clips came from, too. I liked how they included the Shindig clips where they're being introduced, and Frankie Avalon's introduction.

Love the great Hollies! I wish someone besides Van Zandt would have inducted them. He is not funny to me.

@peterdchecksfield You're welcome, Peter. I love this montage. I don't know where that "He Aint Heavy" clip came from, either. Maybe someone on here knows.

Terry Sylvester should have been included.he was such a doll.

The most outstanding song these guys ever did by pretty much a mile (over all the cute Brit Pop which was really nice yes), the"Academy"chose to only put the harmonica intro ?

"He Ain't Heavy. He's M' Brother!"

@christianphi You're welcome!

Shame there was no footage of Terry Sylvester in this montage.

had original songs of Linda Ronstadt "I cant let go" and the Monkees "I'll be true to you ....yes I will"

Thomas Ponzio Whaaaat? Linda never did a Hollies song. She was country rock.

Does anyone have the interview clips of Graham Nash from 1964 and Allan Clarke from the late 70s or whenever? There's a bunch of clips I'd like to see that's in the montage.

I read from several sources that Terry did not attend the practice sessions for the induction ceremony...

@Poopaloo55 Linda, look at 2:48 What envy of harmonica...!

Should be thought of more than they are, their harmonies and melody were truly a thing of wonder and quite honestly rival that of the Beatles. Fave song of anything featured on Mad Men wasn't TNK by Fab Four but On a Carousel. Poignant television use of a song.

I am a huge fan of the Hollies and a huge fan of the E street band and a huge fan of Mr Van Zandt. Sorry Steve that was shit.

I did answer him. Read the comment right below it.

You're right as always my dear...they shouldn't have been omitted. There was a bit of a Nash bias that night, I felt..

Couldn't find part 2. Did he ever get around to saying anything at all about the Hollies? P.S. - Hollies - truly magical sound, clever songs, inspirational.

I hope so. Playback defective

No Bus Stop?

Heads up . Playback error when Van Zandt is on point on the mic. Twice it froze . Disappointing. Can you please fix it ? Perhaps the first was related to an advertisement ; but I can’t be certain. We all love but hate ads .

Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere the song 'Kerry Anne' was about Marrianne Faithfull??? If I'm right, I wonder what inspired the song??

I didn't see Terry Sylvester in the montage footage. :(

@NewHopeNashFan Perhaps the guys who edited it together just wanted to give some kinda shout-out to absent recipients...

02:35 The Hollies opening for *Soupy Sales*?! Ah, the early '60s . . .

Most of the clips were pre 1967 that is why.

@katdowli Two very sexy moments indeed. I didn't expect the "I want you, baby" part to come up, either!

The RNRHOF started in 1986.
