Hi David...I always loved the Troggs, although Wild Thing wasn't a favorite
of mine. I loved Love Is All Around and With a Girl Like You especially.
What songs are on that CD? I will check it out. I do have their greatest
hits and several here on my computer.
As I've stated here before, I was mainly into Top 40....grew up in Los
Angeles with radio stations KHJ, KRLA and KFWB. I know I missed out on a
lot of good music and I think I'm trying to make up for that. I am
discovering all kinds of obscure '50s and '60s music.
The Troggs songs I have on my computer are:
Anyway That You Want Me
From Home
Give It To Me
Gonna Make You
Hi Hi Hazel
I Can't Control Myself
I Want You
Love Is All Around
Night Of the Long Grass
Surprise, Surprise (I Need You)
Wild Thing
With a Girl Like You
You Can Cry If You Want To
Are most of these on that CD? I don't buy many anymore, but I did just
order the Nuggets collection of garage band music. I think I'm in my second
childhood...haha! It's wonderful!
I know I'm probably the oldest one here, but it's nice to see some threads
about the oldies. Thanks!
