  When listening to Eric Burdon rap in &quot;San Franciscan Nights&quot; and &quot;Spill the Wine&quot; it&apos;s easy to forget that he&apos;s not an American. I was actually startled when I saw a clip of him speaking with an English accent.

  Morrison and The Doors created some of the best music. Short lived but wow what a legacy on several albums, no one could compare to the Doors, no one.

  The Animals are under rated and almost forgotten. In the 60s they were formidable. Sky Pilot is a gem that is still a masterpiece. I saw them 3 times in elementary school. The first time they opened for Herman&apos;s Hermits with Denver&apos;s Moon Rakers actually starting the gig. I was in 2nd grade. The next 2 shows i attended my parents made me come up with the money for tickets. &nbsp;I had to buy 2, one for me and one for my Mom. I washed cars and did odd jobs but i got the dough and went...6th grade. These were high energy shows that were ingrained in my mind. Years later i saw War. They were good but didnt have the charisma of the Animals. Chaz Chandler promoted Jimmy Hendrix or Jimmy&apos;s career may have taken a different trajectory. &nbsp;Only the Kinks came close to presenting pure hard rock. Thanks for telling part of Erics story. &nbsp;Listen to Sky Pilot with the bag pipes and war effects superimposed with the full string comeback and tell me these guys weren&apos;t genius and ahead of their time.

  I&apos;m reading the comments, and I&apos;m happy to see this is an Eric Burden crowd.<br>That&apos;s good.

  Always loved The Animals, Eric Burdon, that voice.

  The Animals is an incredible, beautiful, soul-touching band.

  Timeline is off. &quot;Spill the Wine&quot; was released in May 1970. Morrison died in July 1971.

  With Steve Marriot, Eric has been my life-long favourite vocalist

  Eric Burdon has an outstanding voice &amp; stage presence , he deserved all the acclaim from The Animals &amp; was outstanding with War (What a band)
