Re: The Troggs!

Their song 'Love is all Around' was covered by Wet Wet Wet for the film 4 Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 and topped the U.K. charts for 15 weeks.

Actually The Troggs are still recording and touring in the UK. Their web site is http://www.my-generation.org.uk/Troggs/

Cool ..

I wish that they would come to North America ...

Re: The Troggs!

I always found it interesting that two songs so different from one another as "Wild Thing" and "Love Is All Around" could be done by the same band. Though I guess you could come up with similar disparate examples from any number of other groups, too.

Re: The Troggs!

The Troggs covered (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction ... What do you all think?

Re: The Troggs!

Hmmmmm. The instrumental backing isn't bad but the singer comes off looking particularly inadequate compared with Mick Jagger.

I agree .. The Troggs have also done a cover of "Summertime" which I've not been able to find to date.
