A taste of what else the Troggs did besides "Wild Thing".......2005-02-18

The Troggs are rock 'n' roll immortals on the strength of one song, namely their only #1 hit single, "Wild Thing." This is, of course, the three-chord song that Jimi Hendrix was playing at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival when he set his guitar on fire and what the Cleveland Indians play every thing "Wild Thing" Vaughn comes in to the game to pitch in "Major Leagues." With the Troggs we are talking proto-punk, and the only problem with "The Troggs: Greatest Hits" is that we only have 10 tracks here, which is barely enough to give you a taste of what the group really sounded like once you got beyond their signature song.

The problem with the Troggs is that once you get past "Wild Thing" most people will be hard pressed to name another song the group recorded and the best offerings here are certainly not similar to "Wild Thing" in sound. "Love Is All Around" is their second best song, the only other Troggs tune to crack the Top 5 in the U.S.A., and it is a flower power ballad, which is as far from caveman rock as you can get. "With a Girl Like You" and "I Can't Control Myself," are the best songs on the next tier, and the common denominator is that all three of these songs were written by lead singer and guitarist Reg Presley (Chip Taylor wrote "Wild Thing," originally recorded by a New York group called The Wild Ones). So the big irony with the Troggs is that their signature song is the musical exception to the group's sound. However, there is a commonality in terms of their lyrics, where Presley often manages to introduce an element of lust in the equation.

The Troggs were formed in Andover, England, and were always much more successful on that side of the Pond (the group rarely toured in the U.S.). However, by the 1970s they were on their way out, mainly because they were keeping things relatively simple at a time that progressive rock was sweeping the English music scene. This hits collection does give you a taste of what else they did, but it is missing "Night of the Long Grass" and their covers of "Good Vibrations" and R.E.M.'s "Nowhere Road" from the later years. Having the "Troggs on 45's Medley" does not really make up for those omissions.

I bought this album having never heard the troggs before. I liked it, then my brother took a listen and freaked out because all the songs were RE-recordings. If you're already a fan you'll probably be freaked out too...I think this is why sam donaldson had such 'unpleasantness' at his ranch...he couldn't take the remixes and rerecordings. I will take the advice of someone who posted before me and try another cd to hear the difference. I do enjoy this CD though!

Steer clear of this one.......2003-08-06

I thought I was buying egg nog. It turned out to be skim milk. The songs are remakes, and the charm of the original songs has been completely lost. I feel burned.

There are better alternatives for Troggs fans.......2000-09-19

This is not original band members and therefor the sounds is not what it should sound like. Instead, try to listen to "The Troggs - hit single anthology" Fontana 848 164-2.

A fan in Stockholm

The best cd you can buy of the Troglodytes.......2000-03-14

"~The Troggs-"~ breast implants."~ that it was remade, but I loved it! It's a way better version. The next song, "With a Girl Like You", is as close to bubblegum as you can get. Reg Presley even sounds identicle to Joey Levine! And besides, where else are you gonna hear "little pretty thing", "Strange Movies", "Black Bottom", and "Troggs On 45's Medley"?"~ "Game of Love", "hang on Sloopy", "Louie, Louie", "anyway that you want me"(which is #5 on this cd, and "louie, louie" again. This cd ends with "save the last dance for me" which sounds like gimme some loving by spencer davis group.
