Eric Burdon And The Animals

The Animals, dubbed the animals becuse of their

wild stage performances.

The Animals are the most underrated band of all time. They were part of the "British invasion" along with The Beatles and others, but originally from Newcastle. Lead singer Eric Burdon is my favorite singer of all time, he's still touring. Their most famous songs are songs like "house of the rising sun" and "don't let me be misunderstood", but the most famous ones are not my favorite at all.On account of how incredibly good they were they should be right up there with The rolling Stones and The Who and other British "invaders" in the '60s, but it's like nobody remembers them or "The Kinks" ether, who were also an excellent band. The Animals eventually broke up, and like most rockstars of that time they had somehow been robbed of all their money by their manager.
