Shazam! from 1970 is a brilliant (if slightly weird) album.
The Move were probably a little overshadowed by the similarly quirky Kinks and more commercially successful Who.
Roy Wood's is probably not far behind the influence of Davies and Townshend. Jeff Lynne fell out with him but was hugely influenced.

I've been playing Looking on and Message from the Country a bit, recently. It's a pity that Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood didn't collaborate more. The earlier poppy stuff is alright, too, with the excellent Carl Wayne but I think they got better as they got older and their last album ;Message from the Country' is their best.IMO Didn't Bev Bevan, the drummer, .try to get them going again at some point?

Underrated is a strange concept. A band who, surprising in my opinion, never gained commercial success were Tomorrow of My White Bicycle fame.

Underrated is a strange concept. A band who, surprising in my opinion, never gained commercial success were Tomorrow of My White Bicycle fame.
Would have loved to have seen them live Monk, but too young. Still have both their singles and the album on Parlophone, though.
Keith West's short lived solo success with Excerpt From A Teenage Opera did for 'em in the end.
Steve Howe obviously had the most commercial success of them all with Yes, but the drummer, John "Twink" Alder released the fantastic single, 10,000 Words In A Cardboard Box, with the bass player, Junior Wood, as The Aquarian Age in '68 before joining The Pretty Things in time to help them complete S F Sorrow.
He influenced their set immediately as The Pretties included My White Bicycle in their sets during '68 - '69.
He went on to be release and ace solo album, Think Pink, backed by various members of The Deviants and Pretty Things early in 1970, before becoming a founder member of The Pink Fairies.
Twink converted to Islam a numbers of years ago, and now lives in Marrakesh, Morocco, but is very active on Facebook these days, and is quite happy to chat to anyone who remembers these bands from back in the day, while regularly posting up memories, photographs and other memorabilia from this period ...

I'll add to this list The Posies. One of the great Seattle bands of the late 90's who never really sat well with the so called grunge bands of the time such as Mudhoney and Tad, for example.
I recall one particularly great show on a three band bill with Superchunk and the headlining, Teenage Fanclub, who were touring their Thirteen album - fucking blinding night out...

Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited:
It was one morning when I woke up, and then I found out that they'd signed some papers, and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to the state of my mind.
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um, that I'd gotta have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and I think it's because, because I was going off my...
