Who remembers and still likes to listen to The Lovin' Spoonful?

I went on YouTube.com and looked them up because they were one of my favorite bands of the mid to late 60s. I believe they were a really under-rated band. and John Sebastian was a song-writer who deserved a lot more credit than he got...even though they did make it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. What are your thoughts on The Lovin' Spoonful?

    I remember them and really liked the handful of their songs which made it to the radio. "Summer in the City" was a great song and a little "edgier" than some of the others. Of course, John Sebastian also wrote and sang the theme song to Welcome Back Kotter, which was a great song for a great show.

    John does deserve a lot of credit...Some times it seem to come too late

    It's funny you should ask this question because one of their songs, "Summer In The City", is played in the beginning of the movie Die Hard With A Vengeance. After hearing it, my brother downloaded it because we both really like the song.
