The Yardbirds Pictures, Biography, Profile, Facts, Discography, Filmography, more.

The Yardbirds lived in the era of Mersey-beat ditties and of teenage idols, but represented a far more mature kind of rock music. Their experiments were several years ahead of their time. Their three successive guitarists will start three of the most influential British bands of all times (Jeff Beck Group, Cream, Led Zeppelin).

Noted for spawning the careers of several of rock music's most famous guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. A blues based band turned experimental pop rock, they had a string of hits including “For Your Love,” “Over, Under, Sideways, Down,” and “Heartful of Soul.” They were the crucial link between British R&B and psychedelia; they set the framework for heavy metal explored further by Led Zeppelin and the guitarists they spawned were extremely influential in music.
