Another person that often gets overlooked in these discussions is Stevie Wonder. His body of work is absolutely incredible.

That's one of the things that contributed to the greatness of the Beatles. They had close to equal fame. People had their favorites. That was not the case with any other groups that I can think of. Quick name the other Four Seasons.

Without looking it up Mike Smith, Dave Clarke, Lenny Davidson. Ric Huxley Denny Payton. Aside from the Stones, with Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, I don't know of the band members the other you spoke of except for the lead singers and maybe a full others. I read the "Happy Paper" advertisements and I could see how many people missed the Felix ad.
The Four Season without looking it up- Frankie Vali, Bob Guadio, Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito. Guadio by the way was a great songwriter and his talents were never appreciated.

Not being a drummer I always liked Dino but wondered if he was more flashy (twirling his drum sticks) than good. Another drummer who I always felt never got the recognition was Don Brewer of Grank Funk Railroad. I thought he was great.

Dino was an outstanding drummer. He cut his teeth by moving to NYC when he was a teenager and sleeping in clubs just to watch the greatest drummers in the world like Elvin Jones and Tony Williams. I would say that at the time, he was a lot more knowledgeable than most rock drummers.

My vote for underrated drummers goes to Bobby Elliott of the Hollies.

I got the chance to meet David Brigati a few years ago when he was reunited with Joey Dee (and Bobby Valli). I got him to autograph my Once Upon a Dream CD. Nice guy. Well, I can name the members of the Who, Kinks, Hollies, DC5, Animals, Herman's Hermits (and don't get me started about Barry Whitman fronting a group called Herman's Hermits or Johnny Steel fronting the Animals). My spelling would be way off! Was it Pete Quaife who was the bass player for the Kinks?

Bobby Valli is another joke. Talk about a has been who never was. He capitalized (or is trying to) on his brother fame. Even going as far as changing his last name to Valli which was originally something like Castalicio. I read somewhere that even Frankie is ****ed off about it.
Yes, I remeber your quote about The Lovin Spoonful. You are so right.

Bobby does have a fine voice, if memory serves.

Fine voices belong to Frankie, Barbra, Jay Black, Steve Perry and a handful of others. Lets not put Bobby Valli in that catagory.
