The Who weren’t really a Mod band, they just wore the clothes briefly. In fact, Mods didn’t have bands much, because they generally preferred dancing in clubs to R&B…So essentially, most of your Motown acts would qualify as Mods’ favorite bands. Having said that, though, there were a number of bands that were sort of “Mod”, some of the more notable being the Small Faces, The Action, and The Creation. ---

Not 60’s, but The Jam during the mod revival. ---

Hear, Hear! The Jam is one of my favorite groups. I would recommend any of their first five albums wholeheartedly! ---

The Yardbirds? With a pre-Zep Jimmy Page? They appeared as themselves in **Blow-Up** , and I’ve always thought of that as the quintessential “mod” film. (I could, of course, be wrong on both counts.) ---
