Hearkening back to a somewhat simpler, <br /> more basic British Invasion approach as psychedelia began to explode in the late '60s, the group also reached the <br /> Top Five with their flower-power ballad &quot;Love Is All Around&quot; in 1968. <br /> <br /> While more popular in their native England than the U.S., the band also fashioned memorable, <br /> insistently riffing hit singles like &quot;With a Girl Like You,&quot; &quot;Night of the Long Grass,&quot; and the <br /> notoriously salacious &quot;I Can't Control Myself&quot; between 1966 and 1968.<br /> <br /> Paced by Reg Presley's lusting vocals, the group -* which composed most of their own material - could crunch with <br /> the best of them, but were also capable of quite a bit more range and melodic invention than they've been given credit for. <br /> <br /> Hailing from the relatively unknown British town of Andover, the Troggs hooked up with manager/producer <br /> Larry Page (who was involved in the Kinks' early affairs) in the mid-'60s. <br /> <br /> After a flop debut single, they were fortunate enough to come across a demo of Chip Taylor's &quot;Wild Thing&quot; <br /> (which had already been unsuccessfully recorded by the Wild Ones). <br /> <br /> In the hands of the Troggs, &quot;Wild Thing&quot; - with its grungy chords and off-the-wall ocarina solo - became a <br /> primeval three-chord monster, famous not only in its original hit Troggs version, but in its psychedelic <br /> revamping by Jimi Hendrix, who used it to close his famous set at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.&quot;Wild Thing&quot; <br /> made number one in the States, but the Troggs' momentum there was impeded by a strange legal dispute which saw <br /> their early records simultaneously released on two different labels. <br /> <br /> Nor did it help that the band didn't tour the U.S. for a couple of years. <br /> As a consequence, the fine follow-up singles &quot;With a Girl Like You&quot; and &quot;I Can't Control Myself&quot; didn't do as <br /> well as they might have.<br /> <br /> In Britain, it was a different story - they were smashes, although &quot;I Can't Control Myself&quot; had such an open-hearted <br /> lust that it encountered resistance from conservative radio programmers all over the globe.<br /> <br /> The Troggs tempered their image on subsequent ballads, which utilized a sort of pre-&quot;power ballad&quot; approach. <br /> <br /> These weren't bad, and a few of them were British hits, but they weren't as fine as the initial blast of singles <br /> which established the band's image. &quot;Love Is All Around,&quot; which restored them to the American Top Ten in 1968, <br /> was their finest effort in this vein. <br /> <br /> It was also their final big hit on either side of the Atlantic.<br /> <br /> But the Troggs would keep going for a long, long time. <br /> <br /> In a sense they were handicapped by their image - they were not intellectuals, certainly, but they weren't dumb either. <br /> <br /> They wrote most of their songs, and their albums were reasonably accomplished, if hardly up to the level of the Kinks <br /> or Traffic, containing some nifty surprises like the gothic ballad &quot;Cousin Jane,&quot; or the tongue-in-cheek psychedelia <br /> of &quot;Maybe the Madman.&quot; <br /> <br /> By 1970, though, they were struggling. <br /> They continued to release a stream of singles, most of which had a straightforward simplicity that was out of step <br /> with the progressive rock of the time, all of which flopped, though some were fairly good.<br /> <br /> The Troggs' image as lunkheads couldn't have been helped by the notorious Troggs Tapes, a 12-minute studio argument <br /> that was captured on tape while the band were unawares. <br /> The Spinal Tap-like dialog helped keep their cult alive, though, and as punk gained momentum in the mid-'70s, they <br /> gained belated appreciation as an important influence on bands like the Ramones and (earlier) the MC5. <br /> They found enough live work (sometimes on the punk/new wave circuit) to keep going, although their intermittent <br /> records generally came to naught. <br /> <br /> In 1992, they rose to their highest profile in ages when three members of R.E.M., which had covered &quot;Love Is All Around,&quot; <br /> backed the Troggs on the comeback album Athens Andover.<br /> <br />
