The Creation

The Creation formed in London in 1966 with Kenny Pickett on vocals, Eddie Phillips on guitar, Bob Garner on bass, and Tony Gillham on drums. Their early singles like 'Making Time' and 'Biff, Bang, Pow' had a fuzzed-out guitar sound that stood out from other British bands of the period. They were part of the Mod scene but developed their own approach that leaned toward what would later be called psychedelic rock.

Their song 'How Does It Feel to Feel' showed their willingness to push boundaries with both sound and subject matter. The band's live performances were known for their intensity, which sometimes created friction with venues and authorities. Internal tensions, particularly between Phillips and Pickett over artistic direction, led to lineup changes throughout their active years.

They recorded through 1970, leaving behind a small but influential catalog that included their version of 'Like a Rolling Stone.' Their music found renewed interest decades later among collectors of 1960s British rock.
