Comment:

Long before the punk class of '77 deflated bloated rock, long before D.I.Y. became a badge of honor on a uniform already crowded with pinned-on labels, there was garage rock. Simply put, bands learned three or four chords, turned the amps up to 11, and bashed out their own tunes, sublime in their simplicity, luxurious in their loudness. In the mid-'60s some of rock's finest cuts emerged from the garage — from the Pacific Northwest's Kingsmen and "Louie Louie" to the Aussie attack of the Easybeats and "Sorry." Ted Nugent's Detroit-born Amboy Dukes growled through the blues classic "Baby Please Don't Go," while up in Canada the Guess Who put a hard-knuckle spin on England's "Shakin' All Over." Paul Revere & The Raiders came from Seattle, the Troggs from London, and the Seeds from L.A. In the end, though, from "Wild Thing" to "Incense and Peppermint," the idea remained the same: say it fast, say it hard, and get out before they know what's hit 'em.
