The Yardbirds главным образом известна как отправная точка для творчества трех величайших гитаристов: Эрика Клэптона (Eric Clapton), Джеффа Бека (Jeff Beck) и Джимми Пэйджа (Jimmy Page). Несомненно, влияние этих личностей на развитие рок-музыки огромно, и они и по сей день пребывают в числе наиболее авторитетных и уважаемых инструменталистов, но и вклад The Yardbirds в современную рок-культуру также нельзя недооценивать.

The songwriting team of Reinhardt and Stevens culminates in a duality...

The lineup included two fellow members of that band, bassist Bernard Basso and guitarist Steve Jacobsen, plus drummer Kevin Godley from another recently disbanded Manchester group, the Sabres.

Throughout that period, after all, Gouldman was writing some of the most successful and individual hits of the entire decade -- but not one of them brought the Mockingbirds...
