There are far too many, but one that comes immediately to mind are the Guilloteens with their great run of 45s on both Hanna-Barbera and Columbia. Especially the first four.

Dayv Butler had several great 45s, both under his own name and as the News. This one is my current avatar and is a personal favorite:

All great sides. The Searchers' "Crazy Dreams" is their most memorable stab at 'Freakbeat'...

Wow! Awesome track never heard it before. I dig their I Need Love 45 too

The Move a band under appreciated by me, perhaps due to their ELO connection. I always loved their Wave The Flag...45 the most. However as of lately I have been listening to most of their 45's and started liking them. Not a lot of my collector pals seem to dig them.

"Something's Goin' On" is great. It's like a cross between "Dirty Water" and "No Good Woman". Fantastic!

Following on from this observation which I heartily agree with may I suggest that Second Hand Dealer is the bands best stab at a middle period Kinks style, somewhat in the vein of Dead End Strreet

I'll allow that the Move are possibly over - appreciated by me...

One to append to the pantheon, this savory swamp seasoned bopper features what is perhaps John Fred's most lascivious vocal ?

Stunning collection! I have about 50% of them.

To clarify my post I did mean all of the Searchers' 45's are a bit underappreciated, I just picked out their Crazy Dreams sleeve.

Enjoy

I'll Cry Tomorrow is another great late PYE era side, with a superb middle section break.

Guys (and gals),

This whole parade of great tunes just strengthen my opinion that there are only two kinds of music: music you like and music you don't like. (And all that's inbetween.) What makes it more complicated: some tunes I didn't like in the beginning seems to grow on me.

So take a took beyond your own bubble!
