I absolutely agree with the uncomplicated statement about the Troggs. However, going back to the garage rockers and proto-punkers, that's pretty much the bulk of their output: noisy, messy covers of pop songs. The Troggs probably played those simple pop song because they lacked the talent to do anything else. Simply by playing standard pop songs and being noisy and messy, I feel they can be lumped in with the garage rockers and to a lesser degree the proto-punkers.

OK, Electrophonic, you obviously know their material better than I do. I know them from the innocuous* pop singles, but perhaps their albums tell a different story.

( * Actually, that`s by today`s standards; screen13`s documentary includes a reminder that I Can`t Control Myself was pretty controvertial in its day. )

When I opened this thread, I didn`t realize there was already a Troggs thread here:-

Why is nothing in life simple ? I`d invite a mod to merge the two threads, but then we`d really have to decide which kind of music the Troggs played !

To be honest I think that there was a simplicity to 85% of what the bands were playing back then. It's not rocket science it was simple very catchy pop songs. Well sung and well played easily to identify the band while spinning your am radio dial.........
