I remember enjoying their singles at the time of release, but haven`t followed their fortunes since. Although personally I wouldn`t rate them alongside the Kinks or the Who, this guy has nothing but good things to say about Reg :-

BBC News - Reg Presley: Troggs tribute to 'brilliant' singer
I wouldn't call them as polished as The Kinks or Who, but they are equally as enjoyable to me upon listen. I've always been a fan of a more raw sound so that aspect is appealing. He certainly deserves some praise as he had a brilliant career that many didn't even know about. This is coming from an American, but I've always had a profound love for most things British.
