Average White Band is ok, but apart from that some really bad suggestions.

I am surprised the Pink Fairies are there, not much to shout about imho. What A Bunch Of sweetiesis okay but Never Never Land is rubbish apart from Do It. Sometimes they would turn up as a trio and sometimes others would join in. They were part of the early 1970s Ladbroke Grove scene but that is about all.
