Today's Forgotten Oldie...

After the Beatles, the Animals were my favorite British Invasion band.  Despite a dizzying number of personnel changes, awful mismanagement, and (as near as I can tell) sixteen lineups, The Animals produced a fabulous library of music and a long list of hit records.  "Don't Bring Me Down" was a top twenty hit in 1966, and was the band's last hit before moving from London to Los Angeles and changing their name to Eric Burdon and the Animals. Personally, I think it's the best song the band did... but today it's forgotten.
