One line diagram with Faces: the same lanes run on from one band into the next.

The line diagram

Each member is a lane on the year axis, in the colour of the line the band was on. A filled station marks a joining, an open one a departure, a square a death. The dotted rail is a reunion. A dotted branch leads to a band that grew out of this one, or in from a band its members came from. The table below lists the same spells.

    Mod rhythm and blues at Decca

    Four small Londoners in sharp clothes, formed in 1965. Jimmy Winston lasted the first year on organ before Ian McLagan replaced him. "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" and "All or Nothing" made them the mod band.

  2. Psychedelic rock1967 to 1969

    Immediate and Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake

    On Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label the singles turned psychedelic ("Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday") and the 1968 album came in a round tobacco tin. Steve Marriott walked off stage on New Year's Eve 1968 and formed Humble Pie; the other three became the Faces.
