The Creation

The Profile

London-based 1960s band known for sharp singles, psychedelic experiments and Eddie Phillips' violin-bow guitar technique.

Formed in London and active in the mid-1960s; key members mentioned in reviews include guitarist Eddie Phillips and vocalist Kenny Pickett (deceased 1997). The band had chart success with singles such as "Making Time" and "Painter Man", experienced popularity in Germany and released records there, underwent lineup changes (Ron Wood joined briefly), and produced notable singles including different US/UK versions of "How Does It Feel to Feel".

Two appreciative DeBaser reviews underline The Creation's importance in 1960s British psychedelia and garage rock. Critics highlight Eddie Phillips' violin-bow guitar work, standout singles (Making Time, Painter Man, How Does It Feel to Feel) and the band's underrated status. The reviews note the band's move to Germany, lineup changes and brief association with Ron Wood. A recommended starting point is Lewis Tollani's long-form review.
