EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER! First Time Hearing The Hollies - Bus Stop Reaction!

[@kirkkimball-martinez2402]

Don't forget to listen to their hit "Hey Carrie Anne"

[@ChuckHackney]

The studio version of that song, the arrangement is much better than the live version...

[@ChuckHackney]

But, hey, I love Carrie Anne, no matter what her game is....

[@MrRandyv]

Look through any window🙀

[@johnsilva9139]

Great song, and I believe it's suppose to be about Maryann Faithful.

[@14gamecock]

Yes! Great song!

[@jonmason2646]

Stop Stop Stop is a must hear!

[@markhodge7]

Absolutely. The kids will like the tossed bars.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

@@markhodge7and On a Carousel

[@katiem9644]

The Hollies are fabulous, so many hits. This is one of my favorites, along with Hey Carrie Ann and For Your Love.

[@BobSoltis1]

Written by the legendary Graham Gouldman who also wrote the hits "For Your Love" and "Heart Full of Soul" and "Evil Hearted You" for The Yardbirds; "No Milk Today" and "Listen People" for Herman's Hermits; "Pamela Pamela" for Wayne Fontana; along with another hit for the Hollies "Look Through any Window". He wrote or co-wrote pretty well all the songs for his band 10CC as well.

[@johnsilva9139]

Wow! that's quite a resume'. No wonder why this song reminds me of Herman's Hermits.

[@avlanche7777]

Yep!❤ The only album I have is deceptive bends from 10cc. Lost them all through the years. Zep etc…

[@duanekelly-fe5bt]

Herman's Hermit had Bus Stop on one their albums, but they originally were offered it as a single before the Hollies. Herman's Hermit in 1965 through the middle of 66 was the only band to out-sell the Beatles. I would like to suggest the Rascals as a 60's group to try out

[@KC-gy5xw]

he wrote so many songs people aren't aware of!! Brilliant, love GG and LOVED The Hollies when i was a smol girl!!

[@lesgrice4419]

wasnt Gouldman aged about 17 when he wrote this?

[@dagmar.6954]

Love this group. The Hollies are a British pop rock group formed in 1962 & known for their great harmonies. They had so many hit songs such as "Stop Stop Stop", "On A Carousel", "Carrie Anne", "Here I Go Again", "Pay You Back With Interest", "Look Through Any Window", "King Midas In Reverse", "Jennifer Eccles" etc. "Graham Nash" was originally in this group & left in 1968 to form "Crosby, Stills & Nash".

[@AlanKenny-y8e]

Having to use an umbrella through an English summer perfectly sums up our weather here.

[@ronheyduk1864]

I have LOVED this song from the first time I heard it nearly 60 years ago, and I LOVE it as much or more today. In my all-time top ten!❤

[@RealDiehl99]

I know what you mean. I'd actually never heard this song until I was in my early 20's (back around like 1998). I immediately loved it!

[@phantomrockerr]

Look Through any Window comes to mind thinking about the Hollies. It's similar to this song.

[@elwsee1]

my favorite of theirs

[@lairdlad]

Look Through Any Window! Also, an upbeat song.

[@purplenewbalance]

Look Through Any Window was first Hollies song I heard. Gave me a ginormous earworm. Had to order the single.

[@jerrypost9651]

Now you're diving back into the real meat of the Hollies, the mid-60s... back when Graham Nash was holding down the high harmonies or delivering awesome lead vocals. "On a Carousel" is a classic.

[@Donna185]

The Hollies when Graham was with them are my favorite

[@alanarakelian5021]

The Hollies' "Stop Stop Stop" is like no other. Follow-up to "Bus Stop". So many more.

[@vince100dotcom]

The Hollies were a great group with many quality hits, this is my favorite of theirs.

[@TheToscanaMan]

I have always loved this song. "Please share my umbrella." is the greatest pickup line out there if you are British haha. What an intimate little space beneath the umbrella. ❤The song is musically enchanting as well as charming and always takes me back in time. Thanks you two.

[@davidmckenzie420]

One of my favorite 60's songs.

[@vincentgibbs9707]

This is a perfect pop song!

[@robertfindley921]

Cute song! Love the catchy lyrics! The Hollies had such a wide range of sounds.

[@stevenseul361]

Keep going with the Hollies.. Great music. Thanks for the channel ❤

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Thanks for always hanging with us!

[@amoco14]

Love The Hollies, Bus Stop is a great song and they have a lot of good songs.

[@thomasbeck1061]

Thank you. I hadn't heard this in years. It was a favorite back in the 60s.

[@anthonyferris8912]

Saw them at my local Kinima along with the Spencer Davis group when I must have been about 17. I'm 75 now. Time flys.

[@videoinformer]

There's a great black and white, live video of "Hey, Carrie Anne" on KZbin, that briefly displays each bandmember's name. You'll love it!

[@francesbass1322]

This song is one of my favorites of all. I love the innocence of the little story

[@stevenblock9712]

Their first American hit in 1966 and their introduction to American audiences. With Graham Nash in the front of that picture. Quickly followed by hits Stop Stop Stop and Carrie Anne and soon their more sophisticated hits. Love that British Invasion.

[@gillesjacques1022]

I loved growing up in the late 60s and 70s, so much great music.

[@jonnno243]

"Yes I Will" is fantastic. As usual, great harmonies.

[@joelbusald6416]

Give "stop, stop, stop" a listen it's one of the hollies best

[@tedjung3700]

Fun to hear young Graham Nash harmonizing on this cut not too long before he left The Hollies for greater success as a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash.

[@lonestarbug]

Allen Clark and Graham Nash in the upper register. Beautiful.

[@jtf2dan]

The first two songs you did of theirs was in the 1970s towards the end of their hit making years, and now you are listening to them in the 1960s which was the start of their career. Look Through any window, On A carousel, Stop Stop Stop!, Carrie anne are 1960s hits of theirs....along with Bus Stop.

[@Krzyszczynski]

Not the start, far from it - they'd already enjoyed three years of chart success before this number came out!

[@VIDSTORAGE]

You Gave Me Life --Hollies is a deep track harder edged sound from the mid 70s that is great

[@chrissyholliex3686]

Absolutely! People should give their later stuff a listen. They could also rock!

[@barbarabisson2551]

I think I took so many of these great songs for granted back in the day . Your reviews give me a new appreciation for them. thx.

[@FrancesThompson-e3m]

Ian Paice the Drummer with Deep Purple stated that Bobby Elliott, with the Hollies was a big influence in his drumming!

[@tommcmanamon8327]

Graham Gouldman wrote this when he was 16 years old!. The Hollies were from Salford, as was Graham who later started 10cc and wrote many of their hits.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

"Hey Carrie Anne" is a must 💯💯💯💯

[@MikeBD187]

Alan Clarke was the main lead singer, and Graham Nash (who left later to join Crosby and Stills) did a great job on the Hollies harmonies and sometimes sung the lead. They met before they were famous.

[@melissadahl7561]

This is definitely my favorite Hollies song.

[@suzanneprock7286]

"Bus Stop" I've first heard in grade school so this is really early Hollies. Love them.

[@marionreed5496]

That was early Hollies when Graham Nash was with them. The other three songs mentioned was done after Graham left for Crosby Still and Nash

[@flibber123]

This has one of my favorite lyrics in rock music: That's the way the whole thing started Silly but it's true Thinkin' of a sweet romance Beginning in a queue Being able to work a rhyme with 'queue' in it when it's about romance is slick.

[@joelliebler5690]

Great story , tune and harmonizing.

[@WK1745]

One of the most underrated bands ever!

[@Mare_bear738]

Yes! The Hollies are great, just like the Beatles❣️They have several wonderful songs. A couple more would be "Carrie Ann" and "Just One Look."..just to name a few.

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Carrie Ann seems like a popular request!

[@eli10az]

"Tell me to my face" and "Look through any window"

[@eddyd3298]

Stop Stop Stop - Hollies ✌

[@Krzyszczynski]

Thanks for noting Bobby Elliot's contribution on drums - he was (and still is) superb. At least one critic has said he was the best musician in the band. Like many early pop drummers, he began in jazz, and it shows with that awesome variety of chops. He features to spectacular effect on Look Through Any Window as well.

[@andrewcormier529]

It was my brother Mike's favorite group rest in peace brother these guys definitely were big time and yet when you look at that era it was all Beatles Beatles Beatles there was some great bands to come over and these guys right here were definitely top-notch as you guys said earlier they had a lot of different styles when my brother passed away we played he ain't heavy and yeah to this day it's still a hard song to listen to brings a tear to my eye really enjoy watching you guys You're very knowledgeable and I really like your comments that you give best era ever in music history try some American bands that would during that time frame The birds the turtles definitely keep spreading the music around guys definitely check out Carrie Ann or on a carousel and look through any window which is kind of like this song 🎉❤ oh an just a little tidbit Graham Nash who also went out on his own was part of Crosby stills Nash and Young

[@alexcerdan4500]

Love the Hollies.

[@jrc3547]

One of my favorite bands... early ones - Stop Stop Stop - Just One Look - Jennifer Eccles - I'm Alive - Here I Go Again, Later Great cover Sandy - Another Night - Thanks For The Memories. To name a few.

[@go234ko96ts5]

The Hollies has a great catalog of cool music which still my two favorites are" HE AIN'T HEAVY,HE'S MY BROTHER and LONG COOL WOMAN IN A BLACK DRESS, honorable mention THE AIR THAT I BREATHE.

[@chrisoakley5830]

Great song, one of my favorites, when I was growing up.

[@ronwalker403]

First heard this tune in 1966 when it hit the airwaves. Always loved this song. A classic.

[@richardkint6531]

Like you, I first heard this song well after its original release and during my junior highschool years and always hummed it to myself at the school bus stop 😅. Love the Hollies. Check out Long Dark Road from them. Love the acoustic guitar work in it along with theit great harmonies.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Loving your reaction as always, guys. For some reason, out of the blue at the end, It just jumped into my head that you may not have heard Along Comes Mary by The Association, also from the 60s. It was a huge hit and so different for them but it was groundbreaking in a lot of ways and it's just totally a kick-ass song. To me it has elements of modern so-called spitting as in hip-hop.

[@markthomas2577]

I'm Alive, Carrie Anne ...... two great Hollies tracks

[@phillipblades6784]

This was my parents’ “song” when they were teenagers dating. It’s one of my favorite Hollies songs now. Edit: They were teens during the 60s and married in 1968. Dad was 20 and Mom was 17 when they were married. He passed away the night of their 53rd anniversary. I’m glad I asked Mom what their “song” was before she passed too.

[@anitawright7169]

The Hollies are so very awesome! Love this song so much. Love your reactions!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Thank you for doing this suggestion of mine, and many others more than likely. They were such a great band with many great tracks, ones which I suggest by them are: "Stop, Stop, Stop", "Carrie Anne", "Just One Look", "I Can't Let Go", "I'm Alive", "The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee", "Sorry Suzanne". There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.

[@will-x9c]

Such a great song, I remember it well on the radio in those bygone days. I'm glad you mentioned the drumming.That was Bobby Elliot, "the drummers drummer", one of the very best. He drove the song

[@cindysimpson1046]

I...love...this...song! My fave too is "Air That I Breathe" but this is also my #2! ❤

[@jemmajames6719]

They did a great cover of that but it’s not the original I think it was written and recorded first by one of the Everley brothers.

[@glenndespres5317]

5:40 you hit the nail on the head. This is lyrical genius to tell a story in a 3 minute song with the perfect rhyme. Perfection.

[@John_Locke_108]

This is the music I grew up listening to. Simple songs that tell a cute story.

[@emilytrott]

I love the 1960s Hollies...thank you for playing this romantic favorite! ❤

[@happyolddude]

And the 70's as well!

[@floridaboy6051]

I rode the city bus every day to junior high school and senior high school and loved this song because it gave me hope that something like this would happen to me. It never did, but I did meet my future wife in college, not at a bus stop. Married for 51 years yesterday.

[@angelado3]

another one by this group I have always adored !!!

[@robertrichardson2617]

Back in the day it was the RADIO where we heard all the new songs.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Sam and Phil! As others have also mentioned, Carrie-Anne is another good early Hollies song. I don't know if you teo are planning holiday music, but Wexford Carol with Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma is an incredibly beautiful Christmas song.

[@lizziem2317]

You may already have been told that Graham Nash was one of the original members. He eventually left to form Crosby, Stills and Nash. Love your reactions. ❤

[@elmarkothegreat]

Always loved this one

[@nthdegree1269]

Excellent analysis!

[@jamesvomsaal]

This is early Hollies with Gram Nash who joined Crosby Stills and Nash. Try Look Through Any Window Great reaction

[@threekidzmom04]

A favorite of mine from my youth! The 60's

[@boosuedon]

There was a very entertaining video released for this song back in the day.

[@elkalabaw7665]

this, together with herman hermits' "there's a kind of hush' remind me of the space ghost cartoon that i watched as a kid.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

This song has been one of my recent earbugs!

[@SamMineo-yp8in]

Yep back in the 60on the beach with our transiter radio

[@jvsmith7888]

This song is very early Hollies, back when Grahm Nash was still with the group (and before he left to join "Crosby Stills & Nash"). Their career has spanned several decades starting in the mid 60's. They were one of the premier British Invasion groups, and also one of the longest lasting. They had a few personnel changes along the way but continued on without a breakup or reunion. Another great Hollies song is "Don't Let Me Down" (This is from the same era as "The Air That I Breath"). Other songs from the "Bus Stop" era include "Carrie Anne", "Look Through Any Window", "Stop Stop Stop", "Pay You Back with Interest", "Just One Look", "Dear Eloise" and "On a Carousel."

[@williammark4563]

Love song quirky and funny. I loved this as a kid.

[@eggy1962]

i like one that was done in the 70's after the lead singer left, Magic Woman Touch, different leads but sounded pure hollies

[@Jude_196]

LOVE THEM!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Reba-123]

Love love the Hollies

[@larryjewell7048]

And suddenly I'm back on the school bus, while my homework is still on the kitchen table.

[@angelalambert6069]

Oh Yes !! That was me to 100%

[@MrRandyv]

The harmonies, that were Crosby, Stills and Nash were due to Graham Nash when he left the Hollies he brought his talents, to Crosby and Stills; which made it three part.

[@neilherring]

Great track, written by Graham Gouldman.

[@raymeedc]

Check out Look Through Any Window & I Can’t Let Go, both from the earlier Graham Nash Hollies 👌✅

[@Tony1771-yj8mc]

You will hear all these hits from time to time at stores and such, but we're so focused on other things we tend to not notice. I'll watch someone react to a song, they'll say "seems familiar", then within a couple of weeks I'll hear that song when out somewhere. Not always but not unusual for that to happen.

[@debjorgo]

I had this as my number 1 all-time greatest songs at one point. It's still up there. Very add that it is nothing like any other song in my top ten. Rihanna sang "Now it's raining more than ever. Know that we still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella. ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, under my umbrella." Speaking of the Beatles, the guitarist for the Hollies is Tony Hicks. His son, Paul Hicks, is working with Beatles' producer George Martin's son, Giles Martin, to remix all the Beatles albums.

[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

the hollies are an incredible band !

[@mikeede49]

As a not so innocent 18 year old I saw their first ever gig as The Hollies at the Oasis club in Manchester in 1962. Coincidentally the song Bus Stop was written by Graham Gouldman who like the members of The Hollies was a regular visitor to the Oasis and went on to become a mainstay of Manchesters, if not the countries most innovative band 10cc.

[@hoovgroov1571]

Hollies were great live there are some early performances out there to check out

[@johnthegreek5836]

Hollies and The Guess Who are two of my favorite groups from this era

[@mitzifrancis9843]

I'd love to see your reaction to Carrie Ann soon. Pretty snarky lyrics! (And its about a real woman....)

[@barrymorgan764]

The Hollies, Bus Stop, was, wrote, by Graham goulden, of another British group called, 10CC , the also wrote, No Milk To Day, for Herman's Hermits, so check out 10cc, I'm not in Love, and the group 10cc are still preforming today

[@jerrymeadows5059]

Alan Clarke's voice is amazing and in the early days before Graham Nash went off to help form CS&N, Clarke's lead and Nash's harmony was superb.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

Absolutely love The Hollies ❤ Carousel, Look Through Any Window a couple of suggestions ❤ would love you to react to k.d. lang’s version of Air That I Breathe so different ❤ x

[@samsam-ec8gb]

graham Nash of the Hollies tells the story of gong round to this young kids house (Graham Goulding) who was only around 15 and he played them this song, which was one of many he had written and they were just blown away

[@biggmaqq]

One of those perfect pop songs.

[@gretamckenzie4245]

it gets the toes tapping... 🥰

[@deanbrunner261]

Love the deep dives on the artists. Sometimes the "B" sides don't get the attention up front but later turn out better than the establishment "hit"

[@timwhitnell7145]

You have now reacted to The Hollies' four best songs IMO. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress and He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother are my favourites by them. The latter is one of the few songs by anybody that can make me feel emotional and tear up every time because of the subject matter, the haunting, mournful melody and incredible vocal by Allan Clarke.

[@epankiewicz6606]

On a Carousel is one of my favorites

[@richardpeddie2060]

Graham Gouldman (10cc) - Bus Stop (Acoustic Live). Graham Gouldman - Bus Stop. Recorded Live in London for the 'In The Round' or 'Songwriters Circle' series. Neil Finn of Crowded House and Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera also took part kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHOydZSDr7xmmc0
