 Soft Machine - Index
The band continued in various incarnations until mid 1966, when Allen and Ayers took off to Majorca for the summer.On their return they discovered that Ratledge - a brilliant keyboard player, heavily into contemporary classical music - had left Oxford University and wanted to form a new band.
To be fair no one could suggest that it's the best stuff the band ever recorded and over the years the album has been subjected to an awful lot of criticism, much of it valid.
It wasn't a good gig, but it was significant in that it showed that the band have become the 'intellectuals' of the rock set and were taken up by the establishment.

 The Donnas - American Teenage Rock & Roll Machine: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In the '90s and 2000s, the Donnas [+] have (like Supagroup [+]) done their part to fill that void by providing trashy, decadent, punky, sex-crazed hard rock with a strong late-'70s/early-'80s influence -- and they've done it without the slightest trace of irony.
American Teenage Rock and Roll Machine [+], the band's second full-length album, is far from groundbreaking; in fact, this 1998 release is consistently mindful of the hard rock that the Runaways [+] were providing 22 years earlier (before the Donnas [+] were even born).
Nonetheless, American Teenage Rock and Roll Machine [+] has more ups than downs -- and again, the CD helped fill a void by demonstrating that in 1998, there was still a place for wild, reckless fun in the rock world.

Granted, they excel at grooves rather than songs and Scott Hills vocals could only ever be described as competent, but when you dim the lights, turn up the bass and let the music riff, they are inspirational.
