Paul Revere & Raiders weren't in the garage band poll, but their getting their due here, like I mentioned, they are a major band in the 60's, I bought their album "Midnight Ride" in '66, all original songs, except for " Steppin' Stone" (covered by The Monkees of all bands later on) I think it was written by Boyce & Hart, but "Louie go Home" was covered by David Jones (David Bowie) in one of his early 60's bands before he became who he is.
The Lovin' Spoonful were a great band, they were major big band in the 60's, Sir Douglas Quintet's "She's About A Mover" still gets me up & dancing every time I hear it, Beau Brummels "Laugh Laugh" I remember as being on the Flintstones, only called The Beau Brummelstones.

Yeah, I agree, The Rascals were very Underrated, they had more soul then a Motown act.

Reply #7 - May 14^th, 2008 at 11:08pm I voted for a bunch. Most of the usual....LOVE was great... I think Otis Redding was the best of the R&B'ers. But I did vote for Marvin Gaye. Rascals, Byrds....great. I loved Buffalo Springfield too! They got in on the latter part of the poll timeline....too early for Jeff. Airplane. Some good choices, though!

Elvis was busy filming one of his 33 movies, he sent a telegram to welcome The Beatles to America, but by a movie about him, he didn't think to highly of The Beatles and the Rolling stones, as he called them The Rolling Rocks.

A friend of mine played a number of gigs with Arthur about a year before his death. Said he was just in awe of him and thrilled to do it. He's also played extensively with Mark Lindsay, Moby Grape {later incarnation}, the Monks {another great 60's garage band!}, Richard and the Young Lions....He's also a road manager for the band Moonie Suzuki.

I love Arthur's songs and also those of the late Bryan MacLean.

Reply #18 - May 16^th, 2008 at 3:38pm Dylan is leading big time!! how about the Byrds? this is the hit parade from 64-66, Dylan didn't have a big hit until 'like A rolling stone in '65" there's a lot of other bands that had major big hits.
