THE TROGGS
Remembered chiefly as proto-punkers who reached the top of the charts with the "caveman rock" of "Wild Thing" (1966), the Troggs were also adept at crafting power pop and ballads. Hearkening back to a somewhat simpler, more basic British Invasion approach as psychedelia began to explode in the late '60s, the group also reached the Top Five with their flower-power ballad "Love Is All Around" in 1968. While more popular in their native England than the U.S., the band also fashioned memorable, insistently riffing hit singles like "With a Girl Like You," "Night of the Long Grass," and the notoriously salacious "I Can't Control Myself" between 1966 and 1968. Paced by Reg Presley's lusting vocals, the group -- which composed most of their own material, could crunch with the best of them, but were also capable of quite a bit more range and melodic invention than they've been given credit for

Built around their second (and last) big American hit, Love Is All Around was a very good collection of tracks that had, for the most part, already appeared on singles, including "I Can't Control Myself," "Any Way That You Want Me," "66-5-4-3-2-1," "Night of the Long Grass," "Give It to Me," and "Girl in Black"...(AllMusic)
