The Hollies were influenced by a variety of bands and musical styles, particularly the rock and roll sound of groups like The Beatles and The Beach Boys. They also drew inspiration from early rock pioneers such as Buddy Holly and The Everly Brothers, whose harmonies and melodic structures played a significant role in shaping The Hollies' distinctive sound. Additionally, the British Invasion movement of the 1960s, along with American folk and pop, further shaped their musical direction.
