Led Zepplin stole this act! The Small Faces "Tin Soldier"

Steve Marriott had the moves , the voice and the guitar licks. The word is, that Zepplin wanted this sound, and got Robert plant to sing like Steve, and Jimmy page to play like Steve .
This is a great video of The Small Faces.

Sounds like The Troll to me. Although I have to admit that I don't actually know which of them came first, Small Faces or The Troll.


I guess I am trolling, but not to be mean and nasty, just trying to get some notice for the video and start some discussion.
I could use another sifted video, and nothing I say will hurt Led Zepplin, and , The Small Faces could use a little recognition for some damn good, trend setting music and style.

So, I used an attention grabbing title, did you watch and listen to the music?

No no no! I wasn't calling you a troll...I was referring to a band, The Troll. I'll grant you that very few people know of them....very obscure, and -very- psychedelic.

I grew up spending many, many hours listening to their 1968 album, Animated Music. As I said, I'm not too familiar with Small Faces, so I'm not sure who came first, but the sound of this clip was distinctly similar to the sounds of some songs on Animated Music. I'll see if I can find a clip to post.

Found four clips, and none of them sound much like this one. So I dug out the re-released CD and now I can't say -why- this reminded me of the Troll. Maybe it's just the general sound of the era. Maybe it was more visual than audible (specifically the hairstyles and dress)...I don't know any more.

HaHaHa...I guess I was being sensitive. Cool, I'll have to look into The Trolls, . I think you'll find that The Small Faces predated the Trolls, As the Small Faces formed in 1965, were a "Super Group" By 1967 and disbanded by 1969, Then reformed with Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart as The Faces.
