Park LifeBlur
Blur was, in any case, a great-looking, cool band.
Of course, they were more than just that.
This song is a classic that revived Mod culture in the ’90s by featuring Phil Daniels from The Who’s Mod musical film Quadrophenia in a collaboration.
My GenerationThe Who
A band that had a tremendous impact on mod culture.
Alongside the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, they are one of the three great British rock bands and remain a globally beloved group.
As the center of the rock scene, the UK has sparked many movements over the years.
One of these was the Mod movement, and its representative band is The Who.
Balancing a rock ’n’ roll sound with a slightly quirky pop sensibility that foreshadowed the influence on later scenes like Oasis, they truly stand as a central band in the British rock landscape.
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club BandThe Beatles
The most famous band in the world that everyone knows.
There’s no way they aren’t cool.
I think the Beatles were at their coolest during this ultra-psychedelic period, when they completely shed their idol image and took a big step up.
This album art is overwhelming too—there’s nothing to say but that it’s cool.
White RoomCream
It reached No.
6 on the U.S.
charts in 1968.
This was a supergroup made up of three superstars: bassist Jack Bruce, formerly of Manfred Mann; guitarist Eric Clapton, formerly of the Yardbirds; and drummer Ginger Baker.
Although they were active for only two and a half years, their bluesy, hard-edged rock not only had a major influence on later blues musicians, but is also often cited as a forerunner of hard rock and heavy metal.
TragedyHanoi rocks
Formed in Finland in 1980.
They were mainly active in the UK, known for their punkish rock ’n’ roll, but the core member and drummer died in an accident, forcing them to disband in 1985.
They became more famous after breaking up than during their active years, and Axl Rose was said to be a big fan.
