The Yardbirds were a blues based band whose sound evolved into experimental pop rock, they had a string of hits including
For Your Love,
Over, Under, Sideways, Down and Heart Full of Soul.
They were the crucial link between British Rhythm and Blues and psychedelia; they set the framework for heavy metal explored further by Led Zeppelin and the guitarists they spawned were extremely influential in music. They broke up in 1968.
