- Summary:
- With longer hair than The Stones, a wilder drummer than Keith Moon and some searing R&B, The Pretty Things were the bad boys of the British Blues Boom. Their landmark SF Sorrow album was the first rock opera, predating and influencing Pete Townsend's Tommy, and their 1970 album, Parachute, was Rolling Stone's Album of the Year. Alan Lakey documents trashed hotel rooms, sexual ambiguity, infighting -- and a host of remarkable albums filled with some of the greatest music of the era. The Pretty Things: Growing Old Disgracefully confirms The Pretty Things' rightful place in rock's history.
