Just rescuing this from oblivion at the last minute - they are a great band, John, but as they're probably regarded as either the third or fourth best British band of the 60s, can they be said to be underrated? Is that not just about right?

Or have we just forgotten the 60s too much?

Yes, indeedy, we've forgotten.

Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who. Or Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks.
Or another way of looking at it is Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richard, Ray Davies, Pete Townsend.

Over-rated bands?
Look no further than U2!
