John “Twink” Alder top 10 songs (including GMVs and kernels if applicable) with the peak position and peak date for each song. Twink (drums) was a member of the group Tomorrow from 1967 to 1968, which included Keith West (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), later of Yes, and John “Junior” Wood (bass). Tomorrow was featured on the first John Peel session (“Peel Sessions”), on BBC Radio 1 on 21 September 1967. Tomorrow broke up in 1968 and Twink and Junior formed the short-lived group The Aquarian Age in 1968 and released the psychedelic classic single “10,000 Words In A Cardboard Box”. Twink joined The Pretty Things that same year and was a member for about 18 months until 1969. He joined Pink Fairies for the single “The Snake” and the album “NeverNeverLand” from 1970 to 1971. In 1972, Twink, Syd Barrett (formerly of Pink Floyd) and Jack Monck formed the short-lived band Stars. Twink changed his name to Mohammed Abdullah in 2006.
