Album of the Week: The Yardbirds "Roger The Engineer"

ERIC CLAPTON, JEFF BECK AND JIMMY PAGE ALL PLAYED WITH THE YARDBIRDS. THIS SOUNDS IMPRESSIVE AND TO BACK THEM UP IS A WHOLE HOST OF ESTABLISHED ARTISTS WHO CITE THE YARDBIRDS AS INFLUENCES OF THEIR OWN MUSIC AND LIFESTYLES.

THAT LIST INCLUDES THE LIKES OF BLONDIE, DAVID BOWIE, JOE WALSH AND QUEEN, NOT TO MENTION THE HUGE ROSTER OF ACTS WHO HAVE COVERED YARDBIRDS MATERIAL.

“There is no doubt that after the Beatles, Stones and The Who, the Yardbirds remain the most respected band of the mid-sixties.” John Platt Editor, Comstock Lode Magazine
