Has to be Meek for me JK, until his mental health took it's toll near the end. Cryan Shames were his final attempt to make it big again but died before they actually released a LP. Heinz to me was a novelty but had some good songs but great things such as You Were There, Live It UP, Questions I Can't Answer. Joe Meek used a flat as a studio and improvised with household items to get a beat or rhythm going.
