 Flamin' Groovies were an American rock music band of the 1960s and 1970s. They began in San Francisco in 1965, founded by Ron Greco, Cyril Jordan and Roy Loney. They are perhaps best known for their song "Shake Some Action", which was later featured in the 1995 movie Clueless. The group have been called one of the forerunners to punk rock. Their first album, 1969's Supersnazz, featured Jordan (guitar, vocals), Loney (guitar, vocals), George Alexander (bass, harmonica, vocals), Tim Lynch (guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Danny Mihm (drums). Some critics have pointed to its unsuitable production, and it contained both re-creations of 1950s rock and roll and more melodic songs that anticipated the power pop movement of the 1970s — a genre to which the Flamin' Groovies would eventually contribute significant work. Their second album, 1970's Flamingo, released in 1970, was considered by critics to be a stronger effort. Following their departure from Epic, it was the first of their two Kama Sutra albums.01 - Gonna Rock Tonite02 - Comin' After Me03 - Headin' For the Texas Border04 - Sweet Roll Me On Down05 - Keep A Knockin'06 - Second Cousin07 - Childhood's End08 - Jailbait09 - She's Falling Apart10 - Road House11 - My Girl Josephine12 - Around and Around13 - Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu14 - Somethin' Else15 - Rumble16 - Going Out ThemeLINK |
 The Marmalade began 1970 by appearing on the BBC's highly rated review of the sixties music scene Pop Go The Sixties, performing Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da live on the show broadcast on BBC 1, January 1, 1970. Following a change of record label to Decca Records, under a deal allowing them to write and produce their own songs, they recorded what would become their biggest worldwide hit. Topping the charts in Europe, (a Top 10 in United States, and #1 in most of South America), the melancholy "Reflections of My Life", written by Campbell and Ford, featured a backwards guitar solo by Campbell. "Reflections of My Life" has recorded over two million sales and the writers were awarded a Special Citation of Achievement in 1998 by BMI in attaining radio broadcast performances in excess of one million in the US alone.01 - Super Clean Jean02 - Carolina On My Mind03 - I'll Be Home (In A Day Or So)04 - And Yours Is A Piece Of Mine05 - Some Other Guy06 - Kaleidoscope07 - Dear John08 - Fight Say The Mighty09 - Reflections Of My Life10 - Life IsLINK |
 Teenage Head is The Flamin' Groovies third studio album, released in 1971. Released the same year as The Rolling Stones' classic album Sticky Fingers, Mick Jagger reportedly noticed the similarities between the albums and thought the Flamin' Groovies did the better take on the theme of classic blues and rock 'n roll revisited in a modern context.01 - High Flyin' Baby02 - City Lights03 - Have You Seen My Baby04 - Yesterday's Numbers05 - Teenage Head06 - 32-2007 - Evil Hearted Ada08 - Doctor Boogie09 - Whiskey Woman10 - Shakin' All Over11 - That'll Be The Day12 - Louie Louie13 - Walkin' The Dog14 - Scratch My Back15 - Carol16 - Going Out Theme (Version 2)LINK |
 Marmalade were a successful Scottish pop rock group, from the east end of Glasgow, originally formed in 1961 as "The Gaylords", later "Dean Ford and The Gaylords". In 1966, they changed the group name to 'The Marmalade'. The most successful period for the band, in terms of record success, was between 1968 and 1972. A later version of the band (from 1975 with various further personnel changes) exists to this day, although with the departure of Graham Knight, ( reported on the bands "official" website) in September 2010, there are now no original members remaning in the band.01 - Lovin' Things02 - Wait For Me Marianne03 - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da04 - Baby Make It Soon05 - Reflections Of My Life06 - Rainbow07 - My Little One08 - Cousin Norman09 - Back On The Road10 - Radancer11 - Heartbreaker12 - Heavens Above13 - I Gave Up14 - Listen To My Heart15 - It's Still Rock'n'roll To Me16 - Let My Love Open The Door17 - Can't You Feel The Thunder18 - What Are You Gonna Do19 - Good Luck To You20 - Fallin' Apart At The SeamsLINK |
