The Troggs是60年代早期的一支成功的樂隊,Troggs據說是troglodyte的縮寫,中文譯為穴居人。樂隊來自英格蘭南部城市Andover,無論在英國或是美國各大排行榜上都可以見到他們的歌,包括他們最出名的兩支單曲也是被翻唱無數次的"Wild Thing"和"Love Is All Around" ,特別是後者因它的沈暗唱腔,他的迷藥音符,顯得更絕異。俘虜了萬千樂迷,此碟在英碟榜十五星期冠軍,如非經理人要求唱片公司停製造此碟,以免此曲過於熱度澎漲而影響之後歌曲,不然冠軍星期必不上於此!後來Wet Wet Wet重唱了The Troggs的Love Is All Around,樂迷仍無不被TheTroggs那種成熟而動聽的歌唱迷倒。雖然樂隊的音樂像大多數早期的英倫入侵一樣旋律上朗朗上口,但其實The Troggs確是對後來英國的garage rock和punk rock產生過重大影響的一支樂隊,Iggy Pop和Ramones等都承認The Troggs對他們的影響相當大。the troggs
