Biography

The Yardbirds are mostly known to the casual rock fan as the starting point for three of the greatest British rock guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. Undoubtedly, these three figures did much to shape the group's sound, but throughout their career, the Yardbirds were very much a unit, albeit a rather unstable one. And they were truly one of the great rock bands, one whose contributions went far beyond the scope of their half dozen or so mid-'60s hits ([roviLink="MC"]"For Your Love," [roviLink="MC"]"Heart Full of Soul," [roviLink="MC"]"Shapes of Things," [roviLink="MC"]"I'm a Man," [roviLink="MC"]"Over Under Sideways Down," [roviLink="MC"]"Happenings Ten Years Time Ago"). ~ Richie Unterberger
