Yardbirds

I love the Yardbirds.  Their music was edgy, experimental, and always good.  They served as a springboard for three of the era's greatest guitarists, Clapton, Beck and Page... all wore the Yardbirds' mantle.  They were for a time, the kings of the London music scene and in some ways were more influential than anyone else.  They broke up 48 years ago today, on July 7, 1968 but their breakup created another great band - Led Zeppelin.  Here's a tribute to honor a great band, and a forgotten oldie from the Yadbirds... "Over Under Sideways Down" which went to #13 on the hot 100 in May of 1966.
