RIP Reg Presley of The Troggs

And the joint-best Oooh-arrrr accent utilised in the world of pop (joint with the Wurzels). Ignoring the monster hit "Love Is All Around", the band were up there with the Kinks for me as far as 60s music goes. They also did a wonderful joint album with members of REM called "Athens Andover" in the early 90s which was a joy (and very reminiscent of the Frank and Walters :D)
Oh, and The Troggs Tapes. Best over-use of "fuck" before Malcolm Tucker.
