Was "He Ain't Heavy" a cover song? I've seen several sources saying that it is, but not that give an original artist, nor can does allmusic.com list any recordings earlier than the Hollies' one. --Thomas 23:26, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It wasn't a cover song; the Hollies were the original artist. They didn't write it, but they were the first artists to record it.Raymondluxuryacht 19:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

- I always thought it was a Neil Diamond song. 86.137.158.221 17:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Third Group"?
Exactly what polls and charts support this? Seems like unsubstantiated POV. And why is there even a trivia section? Theamazingzeno 17:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheHollies2.jpg
Image:TheHollies2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Songwriting
I couldn't help but be a little astonished that someone could actually claim that Nash and Clarke are "capable of holding their own against the likes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (Eder,1996)." Who is "Eder" and how is that remotley valid. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are the two biggest bands from the 60s; The Hollies do not fit in that category.
[edit] Fan Page
For people ostensibly as hard working and talented as this crew their corresponding Wiki article is a disgrace. Rather than search out citations for all the fan mag nonsense this article is littered with I suggest someone else with more brains, sensibility, tact, and taste rip it all up and start anew. I've only discovered this crew because of recent telly adverts but I can attest they're worth better than this disgraceful mess.
