This Shining Star award goes to basically a reunion of the Yardbirds.
Box of Frogs was an English rock group formed in London in 1983 by three former members of the Yardbirds, guitarist Chris Dreja, bassist Paul Samwell-Smith, and drummer Jim McCarty. The three musicians had last worked together in the Yardbirds before that influential band broke up in 1968, but they reunited in 1983 for a performance at London’s Marquee Club.
Several big name acts and musicians would be forthcoming from this group!
Genesis, the English progressive rock band that would become one of the most commercially successful and artistically influential acts in rock history, formed at the end of the 1960s amid the creative ferment of British public school culture. The group originated at Charterhouse School in Surrey in 1967, where two separate songwriting duos—Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks on one side, and Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford on the other.
