One of the most underrated rock groups in music history. "Just One Look", "Look Through Any Window', "On A Carousel", "Carrie Ann', "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother", "Long Cool Woman" , "The Air That I Breathe" all major classics along with a dozen others. Took way too long to induct them into the rock hall ( a habitual problem with the Hall) . Their distinctive three part harmony unmatched except by the Bee Gees.

Graham Gouldman wrote this when he 16. One of the 70s and 80s most successful songwriters and was a founding member of 10cc He wrote several hits for the hollies who couldn’t believe someone so young could write such great pop songs

I grew up listening to this British pop rock band The Hollies & had their albums. They had a lot of hits from the 60's-70's such as "Stay", "Just One Look", "Here I Go Again", "Pay You Back with Interest", "Stop Stop Stop", "On a Carousel", "Carrie Anne", "Jennifer Eccles" & others. Graham Nash later joined with former Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills & ex-Byrds singer & guitarist David Crosby to form one of the first supergroups, Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Definitely a great and enduring song. But what really elevates Bus Stop is Graham Nash's high end harmony. Glad you picked this one, Harri. Funny, this song always reminds me of a 1967 rain-related love story song (with a slightly different ending)..... The Rain, The Park & Other Things by The Cowsills. You might want to give it a listen.

Great old song from the 60s. This Band was one of the most sophisticated, as far as their musical composition. Way ahead of most Bands at the time. Another great Band from Britain, that was part of the "British Invasion," of the early to mid 1960s.

A great "fun" song with a romantic little story. A song that makes me think English Vaudeville but was popular in the '60's was "Leaning on the Lamp" by Hermans' Hermits. A "fun to sing along with" song with a catchy little tune.

I wonder if this is Baroque rock? I have just always loved the harmonies, the story of young love. I also love what the songwriter Graham Gouldman matured into as a founding member of 10cc. 'Stop Stop Stop', featuring the world's angriest banjo, is another great song that just tickled the heck out of me at age 12 or so. It was one of my first songs featuring an 'adult' theme.

Can you share any personal info, I.e., are you a musician, in what field do you work? Are you married? Children? Just interested in knowing some basic info about you. It just kinda helps me complete the puzzle, so to speak, about your life. I’m not asking specifics; just tidbits that might answer some questions that we, your “ followers”, might enjoy. Don’t mean to make you uneasy; if it’s too personal a request, I understand! Keep up the good work!
