As for the Hollies 70's recordings I love them because of the group's
amazing
harmonies. But some Power Pop fans might get turned off because ot the
hit-and-miss songwriting,
... which is why, for my money, the best song that the band did in their
later years was their cover of Bruce Springsteen's "4th Of July, Asbury Park
(Sandy)" off of their 1977 album, *Clarke, Hicks, Sylvester, Calvert and
Elliott*. For a band whose harmonies were their trademark, that Springsteen
cover was a tremendous latter-day peak performance.
