I'm a big fan of Mr. Burdon.

In addition to his classic work with The Animals and Eric Burdon & The Animals he made a great album with WAR:

Wow I forgot my Fav animals tune ,when I was young! Hell all the animals music was good,never heard one I did not

The Animals: they were and remain oft-overlooked in discussions of the British Invasion and the bands typlifying it. They are, IMO, a vastly underappreciated group whose contribution was tremendous in securing a place for and establishing the legitimacy of the so-called "British Blues" of the 1960s. Eric Burdon was a screamer and excellent front man who possessed a voice and swagger that could stand up to the best of Chicago's South Side Bluesmen of the late 1940s, 1950s, through the mid 1960s, much less other exponents of so-called British Invasion front men, e.g., Jagger, Daltrey, etc.
 
PS: among my thousands of "live" recordings is a collection of live sides cpatured at concerts put on by The Animals in the mid 1960s ... recordings I effin' treasure.

BMTTP, which is fine because you said it better than I would have. Burdon rules!
 
Yeah they never got the respect they deserved. Burdon's solo albums Soul of a Man and Til the River Runs Dry are really good too.
Eric was the person who found Jimi dead in his flat, He banged on the neighbors door told her what was up and got out of there before the bobbies came.
