Complete List Of The Yardbirds Songs From A to Z

When I think of The Yardbirds, I picture a band from London that landed on the vibrant British blues scene in 1963 by boldly taking over the Crawdaddy Club. They started honing their craft as a blues cover act of artists like Howlin Wolf and Bo Diddley with extended instrumental breaks that fans called rave ups. Their first album captured that raw, electric energy when it was recorded live at the Marquee Club — a snapshot of that early period with Eric Clapton on guitar and Keith Relf on vocals.

The band’s fortune changed when they released their first big hit in 1965, a track called “For Your Love.” It smashed into the top ten on both sides of the Atlantic. But Clapton resisted that pop direction and left to stay true to his blues roots. He was quickly replaced by Jeff Beck, whose style of feedback, sustain and daring guitar techniques completely transformed the group’s sound and image.

With Beck in the lineup, The Yardbirds gave us some of their most celebrated work. Songs like “Heart Full of Soul”, “Shapes of Things”, “Evil Hearted You”, and “Over Under Sideways Down” broke new ground by weaving exotic rhythms, reverb textures and lyrical boldness into commercial rock songs. Their 1966 album that fans call Roger the Engineer featured all original material, making it a landmark in early psychedelic rock.

Then came a short but iconic era where Jimmy Page joined them, first on bass and then on guitar alongside Beck. They created forward-looking tracks that fused psychedelia with proto metal sounds, including a song with haunting complexity released in 1966 that featured both guitar heroes working together. The band’s final studio album in 1967 showed a shift toward a more mainstream, pop-friendly sound, but it lacked the experimentation that earlier fans loved.

Although they split in 1968, the legacy of The Yardbirds had already been written. The three guitar legends who passed through their ranks left an indelible mark on rock history. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and they continue to be acknowledged as one of the key drivers that shaped guitar led rock music. In the decades that followed, surviving members reformed the band and even released a new album under the same name, proving that creative spark still lives on.
