I've thought for a long time that the Dave Clark Five, the Animals, and
Dusty Springfield are under-rated.

If you were the ask the still-alive Beatles, they would probably put the
blame on Gerry and the Pacemakers instead of the DC5. (Although I remember
reading somewhere that Paul and Gerry buried the hatchet.)
