Before the Brown Eyed Girl

Them: Fronted by Van Morrison, the Northern Irish band Them (named after the 1954 sci-fi horror movie) burst into the garage rock scene in 1965 with their single "Gloria", a B-side to their cover of Joe Williams' Washboard Blues Singers' "Baby Please Don't Go" (with a then little-known Jimmy Page on rhythm guitar for the studio recording). By the middle of 1966, Van Morrison left Them to pursue his solo career. I personally can't stand Van Morrison's solo career.
