"one of the finest examples of garage bands the sixties had to offer, the Count Five have been tabbed as one hit wonders. This San Jose band could be the poster act given that anything beyond their seminal single, "Psychotic Reaction," is probably unknown beyond garage/psych aficionados and those who knew the band from live appearances. But like so many acts whose art only intersects popular acclaim for an instant, there was a great deal more to their catalog than one chart hit."...>amz

Awesome song.

“contemporary musicians such as The Standells and The Yardbirds”

Good stuff.

And it led me to “Pushin Too Hard” by the Seeds.

They made noise but I sure don’t remember them.

The 13th Floor Elevators are in the same genre. You're Gonna Miss Me is a great song with basic rhythm, harmonica, and Roky Erikson singing.

Was introduced to this gem via the game Battlefield: Vietnam. Awesome song to have playing when piloting a Huey. Hell, CoD Black Ops also had a phenomenal soundtrack, as does the show Mad Men.

I’m only in my early thirties and I’m discovering (and liking) the music of the sixties and seventies more and more, not to entirely discount the following decades.

Nice thread!

I always go back to this:

Young Ted Nugent with huge guitar.

The dancing chicks are now old Grandmas, if they’re lucky.

There was a garage band in my hometown ( still high school kids ) called Mortican and The Ushers . They’d carry a coffin out onto the stage , set it down , and the lead singer would jump out and begin to sing the first number . Those were the days !
