It was pretty obvious from the get-go. The Pretty Things loved Bo Diddley. They named their band after one of his songs. Their first LP had four Bo Diddley covers on it and there's only twelve songs on the damn thing. (It also had two Chuck Berry covers.) Credit them, they definitely give Mr. Rectangle Guitar a run for his money with a good healthy youthful crunch. Also, check their bluesy take on Berry's "Don't Lie to Me".
