Miscellaneous American 60s Rock Artists

I listened to most of these artists in 2023 when I attempted to cover the last gasps of 60s rock music I had missed. As of March 2024, this page is effectively complete and no longer has regular additions. Of the genres represented, most fall under garage rock, psychedelic rock, or folk rock. Only a few of the albums below are compilations. Although going through these artists wasn’t disappointing, it was disheartening to see overwhelming critical praise for these albums only discover that most were pretty mixed in terms of results. The albums I recommend from this page is limited to Nuggets, The Best of the Kingsmen, Moby Grape, What a Way to DieTime Peace, The Remains, Back Door Men, Oar, Here Are the Sonics, Boom, Dirty Water, Walk Don't Run, and The Turtles' Greatest Hits (I would also recommend The Fugs First Album and Black Monk Time for those with an open mind and a great propensity for dissonance). However, there is an incredible wealth of great singles, which I highlight down below with every chance I get.

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 (1972):
This compilation--assembled by Lenny Kaye before he became the guitarist for the Patti Smith Group--is most famous for collecting some of the most rockin' singles in the 60s, which Kaye notably described as "punk rock" in one of the earliest uses of the term. With enough time passed, it is worth noting that the majority of the songs are now most appropriately deemed garage rock (proto-punk better fits the later music of the Stooges and the New York Dolls while punk should stay reserved for the Ramones and all the music created after) but certainly some of the artists represented were affiliated with psychedelic rock. Although this double album has kept many invaluable singles alive for generations, it also contains a fair amount of excess that is meant to highlight garage rock's many interesting corners. Some of these more novel cuts bring down the album's consistency even though their inclusion is understandable. It is also worth noting that the excellent material--"I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)," "Dirty Water," "Pushin' Too Hard," "Don't Look Back," "Invitation to Cry," "Liar, Liar," "You're Gonna Miss Me," "Psychotic Reaction," "Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go?," and "Sugar & Spice"--mostly comes from bands that are not worth exploring further, as this pages highlights all too well. But we can be happy someone in '72 saved us the future digging and gave us easy access to some of the greatest rock singles of the era. B+

The 13th Floor Elevators: The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (1966):
The first band to call itself "psychedelic rock" was formed in Texas by a long-haired high school dropout vocalist and a philosophy major jug player. This isn’t exactly the psychedelic music that would dominate the American music scene in only a year however. Half the time, they write shorty, punchy songs reminiscent of garage rock and the other half Tommy Hall is going nuts on the jug while Roky Erikson is whining over jammy, acid-rock songs. Although guitarist Stacy Sutherland has some nice moments throughout, I'm happy to take "You're Gonna Miss Me" and forget the rest. B-

? and the Mysterians: 96 Tears (1966):
The Mysterians are only remembered for their hit single and it won't be a sin if it stays that way. Besides the title track, they have about two good songwriting efforts--"You're Telling Me Lies" and "Ten O'Clock"--and several uninteresting vocal melodies that sound exactly the same. B-

Blood, Sweat & Tears: Child Is Father to the Man (1968):
Kooper might have come up with that powerful organ part with Dylan but it's troublesome that it gave him the confidence to try something this stupid and ill-advised. His childish vision of a rock band with a horn section is so mawkish in its final product that his recently assembled band even had him ousted. It's hard to even get beyond the first few seconds. C

Blood, Sweat & Tears: Blood, Sweat & Tears (1968):
A lousy rock album--you already knew that--but the jazz breaks are good considering their surprisingly strong execution and lack of vocals (Clayton-Thomas is a worthy successor to Kooper indeed). C+

Blue Cheer: Vincebus Eruptum (1968):
Just when you thought San Francisco couldn't put forth any more horrid musical acts, check out the dilapidated jams this drunken band unleash on the public. With psychedelia's long solos, just the right amount of blues influence, and an awful frontman, Blue Cheer all but patent the heavy metal to come. C-

Blue Cheer: Outsideinside (1968):
No longer desecrating blues numbers, they now write their own songs. Usually, songwriting from a band like this would result in an even greater disaster but they actually come up with some solid riffs and enough tunes to keep the songs at decent lengths. But wait! This isn’t exactly good ol' rock’n’roll. C+

The Blues Project: Projections (1966):
It's pretty rare you see a band this pathetic come out of Greenwich Village but what can you expect when you blend together too many genres and throw in a clueless organist with an inflated head? C

The Charlatans: The Charlatans (1969):
The Charlatans are a somewhat notable and influential band from San Francisco. Although helping to kickstart the local psychedelic scene, they took significant influence from folk and blues music. Their debut doesn't show them at their strongest--by the time of recording, they no longer had their original lineup--but the album is a fine curiosity nonetheless with two worthwhile covers: "High Coin" and "Alabama Bound." C+

Count Five: Psychotic Reaction (1966): 
The title track is one of the great one-hit wonders of the 60s but this young band really doesn’t bring much else to the table. Likeable and charming nonetheless. B-

Country Joe and the Fish: Electric Music for the Body and Mind (1967):
Psychedelic rock would take a wrong turn almost as soon as it was conceived but Country Joe and the Fish's first studio album show the genre's earnest beginnings. It also shows that even then psych bands were already inclined to play it long and to write silly lyrics like "Happiness Is a Porpoise Mouth." I will best remember this one for its ever-present and piercing organ. C+

Country Joe and the Fish: I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die (1967):
Country Joe and his band might be just your average psychedelic band mimicking Sgt Pepper (and certainly its cover) but their sophomore album is not half bad. The title track/opener reads like a scathing satire but just listen to how absurdly they dress it up. After it, the band does indulge in a lot of psychedelia's annoying cliches but with a guitarist and vocalist who aren't bad and a sense of humor right out the gate, they get away with some of it. B-

The Electric Prunes: The Electric Prunes (1967): 
Featured as the opening track on Lenny Kaye's compilation Nuggets, "I Had Too Much to Dream" was one of the few songs that convinced me to check out the band's other output. Though others generally rate this and their follow-up highly, I'm sad to report that their two biggest hits are all that I find compelling. C+

The Free Spirits: Out of Sight and Sound (1966):
Although often considered the first jazz rock album, it is not well regarded critically. Even the band admits its failure to capture the energy they produced onstage and I'm pretty sure that means I dodged a bullet. C+

The Fugs: The Fugs First Album (1965):
The FBI's description of the Fugs as "the most vulgar thing the human mind could possibly conceive" is as much a great compliment as it is true, while their debut album is as much a put-on as it is authentic. Like the later The Velvet Underground & Nico, its unnerving dissonance no doubt comes from a truthful place, it's just a matter of how much the Fugs buy into the deadpan chant "poetry, nothing/music, nothing/painting and dancing, nothing/the world's great books/a great set of nothing" and the tearful lament "wanted to cry because I couldn't get high." Of course, comparing them to the VU might give you the wrong impression. This is more like The Explicit Basement Tapes. With lazy vocals, mediocre guitar that comes in and out, a drummer whose barely trying, and cues missed left and right, there is never a point where these unpracticed jams feel self-serious or where the Fugs sound like they're trying to entertain anyone but themselves. They're just having fun and they thought it worthwhile to put it on tape. A hellova weird period piece is maybe all that it is, but isn't that a lot? A-

The Fugs: The Fugs (1966):
The sheer vulgarity of their first record was revolutionary enough to give them a name in history but with the help of the hilarious duo Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber and the legendary Harry Smith watching over the sessions, most of those dirty poems became genuine pieces of music with nice touches of the folk tradition. Now, Sanders's and Tuli's songwriting get entirely new packaging. With real guitar, much less humor, and much of the novelty lost, their second album doesn't sit as well. A satirical song like "Kill for Peace" doesn't have same power or humor after a song about "hanging out by the schoolyard gate/looking up ever dress I can." Nothing does. C

Iron Butterfly: Heavy (1968):
Although this and Blue Cheer's debut may well have been the heaviest albums on the market when they were released in January, Heavy only pushes boozin' sludge a bit farther down the road than Cream did in 1966 and in only a year's time, Black Sabbath would take heaviness to infinity and beyond. They aren't as innovative as others might say, but with solid organ and an okay vocalist, Iron Butterfly make an unobjectionable group of proto-metal players. I'll only return to this album's great closer, one of the few songs that makes slaving through second-rate bands worthwhile: "Iron Butterfly Theme." B-

Iron Butterfly: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968):
The first side continues the decent form of their debut and though they get heavier, they still can play well without falling for the genre's later pitfalls. Side two contains only the title track, a seventeen minute snooze-fest that combines the very worst of what was to come. C

The Kingsmen: The Best of the Kingsmen (2006):
Before "Louie, Louie" had even begun climbing the charts, original drummer Lynn Easton--who had registered the band's name--successfully ousted singer Jack Ely and bassist Bob Nordby to become the new lead singer. Such an unfortunate turn of events might be enough for some to write off the rest of the band's material and declare them the definitive one-hit wonder band. Of course, they would never match the power of their first single but Easton does continue to lead a pretty skilled and dirty garage band afterwards. B+

The Luv'd Ones: Truth Gotta Stand (1999):
The Luv'd Ones were an early female rock group formed in South Michigan around 1965. At their helm was lead guitarist and vocalist Char Vinnedge, who had previously fronted another female group where she played all the instruments for their sole single. Soon after, she rounded up the more instrumentally inclined four-piece Luv'd Ones. Most of the Luv'd Ones' repertoire consisted of Vinnedge's original songwriting, which ranged from pop music with three part harmonies to fuzzed-out rock'n'roll with shrieking guitar solos (see the title track). Their covers revealed even more versality and interesting influences, from surf rock to rhythm and blues to the California art rock of the Music Machine. While they had no commercial success and didn't survive into the 70s, they are now rightly recognized as early and innovative female rockers. The Luv'd Ones might not nail ferocious garage rock as well as the contemporary Detroit female band the Pleasure Seekers, but they have at least three singles that are criminally underrated: the crunching "Up Down Sue," the soft lament "Stand Tall," and the angelically-arranged pop song "Yeah, I'm Feeling Fine." Maybe the rest isn't at the same high level, but other corners of this twenty-song compilation showcase a band with untapped potential. B+

The McCoys: Hang on Sloopy (1965):
Formed in Indiana, the McCoys wear their small town on their sleeve. They introduce themselves at the beginning of the album and (although lead singer Rick Derringer has some chops on guitar) they play pretty simple bubblegum pop that emphasizes their teenage appeal. It's charming but stretched thin by the end and only precipitates into excellence on the title track. C+

Moby Grape: Moby Grape (1967):
Three guitarists, five songwriters, and five harmonizing vocalists, Moby Grape is a somewhat forgotten 60s band worth hearing. Though these guitarists can really lay down a blistering solo, they have to keep 'em short (unlike many of their fellow San Franciscans) because all the competition in songwriting leads to nearly every one of these thirteen cuts being under three minutes. They're vaguely psychedelic, sometimes country rock, and they can pull off slow songs too. A-

Moby Grape: Wow/Grape Jam (1968):
The first LP functions similarly to their debut: mostly short songs with four of the five member contributing twelve songs. The band still shows off some nice influence but too often the songwriting is barely there and a few of the songs--"Murder in My Heart for the Judge" most notably--end up insufferable. The second LP, as expected, features nothing of interest. C+

The Monks: Black Monk Time (1966):
The Monks were an American band formed in Germany in 1964 while its members were stationed overseas. Despite the discipline one might expect from a group with a background in the army, they play the most chaotic, schizophrenic garage rock ever made at that point. Their debut opens at an incredibly fast tempo, with distorted guitars and lead singer Gary Burger practically collapsing from a whirlwind of emotions and the fierce wall of sound behind. Just as down right showstopping is the hypothetic groove laid down before Burger launches into the unnerving tamper tantrum of "I Hate You." No doubt, the band's primitive rock'n'roll and Burger's unfiltered explosion of emotions is exactly the playbook that the Sex Pistols would utilize when they set the world on fire over a decade later. While the Sex Pistols released their album upon an angsty youth crowd that was primed for such music, the Monks played their music to confused Germans and their label refused to distribute their album in the US. Beyond public acceptance though, the Monks also pale in comparison to the Pistols in songwriting consistency. As impressive as their single and the aforementioned songs are, the rest of the material is groundbreaking but less enjoyable. B+

The Music Machine: (Turn On) The Music Machine (1966):
Lots of 60s bands are remembered as having pushed rock music in an influential or heavier direction. Most of the time, however, it's not that the band was doing anything highly original or genuinely heavier. They were among many commercially unsuccessful bands and now--with the luck of the draw--they are more widely remembered than their underground peers. The Music Machine is the real deal, one of those shockingly original bands that pushes the growl of guitars while lead vocalist Sean Bonniwell sings with an unpretentious but artsy inflection. It's something to marvel at but Bonniwell's posturing feels vaguely objectional and the insufferable covers are too distracting to figure out why. B-

The Music Machine: The Bonniwell Music Machine (1968):
Bonniwell was the only original member by the time of the Music Machine's second album. Although they certainly still play like a rock band from time to time, with Bonniwell taking full control, the band becomes much more artsy in their approach. Indeed, if fans of Ray Davies or Arthur Lee ever found this, they'd probably have a new beloved in Bonniwell. I'm ambivalent about his approach. As much as I would prefer some straightforward garage rock, there are some certainly impressive pieces including "The Trap." But like the Village Green Preservation Society and Forever Changes (two far superior LPs of course but the point is still made), no matter how much I submit to the album's fair share of interesting ideas, there are corners of this LP that I will simply never get into. B-

The Pleasure Seekers: What a Way to Die (2016): 
Detroit became famous in 1969 when MC5 and the Stooges released their drooling, elementary, and most importantly loud rock'n'roll. But the Pleasure Seekers arose in the city a few years earlier and showed just as much decadence, not to mention more impressive versatility. Fronted by a young Suzi Quatro and her sister Patti on lead guitar, this female rock group can do a lot of damage and recorded these preciously few cuts from 1965 to 1969. Although the novelty of a female rock group kept the general public from appreciating the Pleasure Seekers' groundbreaking sound, we can retrospectively be floored by their ferocious singing, smashing blues guitar, and angry songwriting. Not even too much organ or the occasional horn section slows them down. A

Quicksilver Messenger Service: Quicksilver Messenger Service (1968):
QMS is another one of those decent psychedelic 60s bands from San Francisco who stretch out songs that were never worth hearing in the first place. Others can tout their twin lead guitars but this duo just isn't that impressive. B-

Quicksilver Messenger Service: Happy Trails (1969):
Only after repeated listens did I come around to a lot of the Dead's long jams and that was three years ago. Even if I was still open-minded to this kind of stuff, Cipollina and Duncan don't even hold a candle to Betts and Allman, whom I've never cared about in the live setting. C

The Rascals: The Young Rascals (1966):
Just listen to the hit single (or don't). C+

The Rascals: Time Peace: The Rascals' Greatest Hits (1968):
The Rascals are perhaps best remembered as innovators of blue-eyed soul but as their early records show, they also have a pretty developed garage rock sound. Even a compilation's worth of songs proves to be a bit too much Rascals for my taste, but the run of songs starting with "Groovin'" is sublime. B+

The Remains: The Remains (1966):
The Remains, like many other obscure 60s bands on this page, have been touted by established critics (including Jon Landau) as stellar musicians lost and forgotten to time. This praise as well as comparisons to the Stones and laments about their breakup before a sophomore album, however, hardly made me bat an eye. I've read the similarly grand statements about albums by the Seeds, the Electric Prunes, Count Five, and ? and the Mysterians (who all simply have a great single which you should no doubt check out). However, all the hype for other decent 60s bands has nearly drowned out praise for this excellent lineup, who are genuinely one of the best rock bands I've found in a while. Their singles are on par with 45s from the Byrds while this full-length further highlights their strengths and versatility. If you're into 60s garage rock in general, the Remains will be one of the best you'll come across. A-

The Seeds: The Seeds (1966):
The garage rock aesthetic is applaudable but besides on "Pushin' Too Hard," singer Sky Saxon is too whiny. Of course, equally pressing is the lack of variation in their songwriting. C+

The Shadows of Knight: Gloria (1966): 
A garage rock/blues group from Chicago with both fire and a respectable singer at their helm. Their British contemporaries could learn a thing or two from them about covering the blues but the Shadows of Knight aren't always consistent themselves and their other covers could use some work. B

The Shadows of Knight: Back Door Men (1966):
Although their debut was promising, their sophomore is quite the consistent and impressive effort. The originals nicely fall into line with the covers while the blues covers themselves evenly cover thoughtful takes on obscure B-sides and powerful renditions of well-known standards. Meanwhile, the two guitarists showcase a powerful vocabulary on the instrumental "The Behemoth" and singer Jim Sohns has further refined his striking vocals. B+

Sir Douglas Quintet: The Best of the Sir Douglas Quintet (1966):
This is a peculiar group that hail from Texas but named themselves as such to appear more British and named their debut studio album The Best of to sell more copies. They don't cut it throughout but they show some solid influences--a good amount of Lead Belly, even some Jimmie Rodgers (whose "In the Jailhouse Now" they cover with lots of success), and lots of walking on streets at night--and have a strong hit single, "She's About a Mover." Can't wait to see what they do next. B

Sir Douglas Quintet: Mendocino (1969):
No longer interested in appearing British or taking influence from the Beatles, they instead record something like an early country rock record that takes noticeable influence from the local Tex-Mex scene that the group got started in. Doug Sahm in particular impresses as a memorable front-man and a solid songwriter. Nevertheless, its lack of reputation--I only became aware of the group when Stephen Thomas Erlewine included it on his ballot for Rolling Stones' 2020 addition of the top 500 albums of all time--hurts its playability. It evades streaming platforms and although I find it fairly strong, I was much quicker to pick up Moby Grape's debut, which is also only found on YouTube. B

Skip Spence: Oar (1969):
Spence apparently meant for this psychedelic folk document to be demos for a fully produced debut album; Columbia released as it was. Despite the occasionally ham-handed instrumentation (Spence overdubbed all the instrumentation and was without a producer in the booth), it's good as it is. Perhaps the fully produced feeling would make it as insufferable as any other psychedelic album from this time but here Spence's surprisingly gruff vocals and an acoustic guitar make this a strange and haunting record. A little like Dylan no doubt. B+

The Sonics: Here Are the Sonics (1965):
The Northwest was home to the some of the most important garage rock bands of the 60s. Among them, the Sonics take rock'n'roll to its rawest and Gerry Roslie takes screaming vocals to a point where even recording equipment wasn't caught up to speed. The band only has four songwriting efforts and about half of the album is dedicated to interpretations of some of the most recorded covers of the 60s--"Do You Love Me," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Money," and "Good Golly Miss Molly"--but this exhilarating stuff never lets up. A-

The Sonics: Boom (1966):
Not much has changed in the band's style--there's still a lot of screaming and some great distorted electric guitar--but the track-list is noticeably weaker. There are highlights--"Cinderella," "He's Waiting," "Louie Louie," and "It's Alright"--but the widely covered songs don't work as well and "Don't You Just Know It" is disastrous and terribly difficult to get through. B+

Spirit: Spirit (1968):
Instrumental psychedelic jazz-rock nonsense. C

Steppenwolf: Steppenwolf (1968):
Although you'd never guess by just knowing "Born to Be Wild," Steppenwolf have their feet just as much in psychedelia and blues rock as they do in hard rock. That these two other genres are even a part of their repertoire means that--despite those great buzzing guitars--they never play their hard rock fast enough. B-

Steppenwolf: The Second (1968):
Despite fixing none of their debut's mistakes and continuing with a lot of psychedelic organ, this is a fairly consistent track-list with another solid hard rock song (the opener). I'm sure by the end that you'll have more or less forgiven "Spiritual Fantasy" as well. B

The Standells: Dirty Water (1966):
This LA rock group who is widely associated with Boston have a pretty good crunching garage rock sound but they can only get so far when the two best songs remind me of a baseball stadium and how good the Rolling Stones are right now. B+

Tommy James & the Shondells: The Essentials (2002):
James and his high school band recorded the obscure cover "Hanky Panky" in 1965 only for it to be unearthed in 1966 and go to number one for its craze in dance clubs across the country. James quickly formed a new Shondells and began turning out other hits soon enough including another number one. The first six cuts on this compilations showcase a catchy 60s dance rock sound but for the final six tracks, the band began taking themselves more seriously and developed a psychedelic inflection that continued until the Shondells disbanded in 1970. Although the second half of their career doesn't produce any essentials (not even "Crimson and Clover" in my opinion), the first side is worth hearing. B

The Turtles: The Turtles' Greatest Hits (1982):
The Turtles were a LA band who had a number of hits starting in 1965 and disbanded in 1970. Although their mega hits are bliss, not everything they recorded was quite as strong. Negatively influenced by the psychedelic scene around them, these innocent folk rockers sometimes attempted cheeky experiments. Because "Grim Reaper of Love" and "You Showed Me" are genuinely catchy and even unintentionally funny, they make the mark. A song like "Eve of Destruction"? Not so much. Although an album's material might be too much Turtles for some, the uninitiated should at least check out their timeless songs like "You Baby," "She'd Rather Be with Me," "Happy Together," and "Elenore." B+ 

Vanilla Fudge: Psychedelic Sundae: The Best of Vanilla Fudge (1991):
If you've ever wondered to yourself, where did early Deep Purple get their impeccable taste for covers? Well, now you know. C

The Ventures: Walk Don't Run: The Best of the Ventures (1990):
Despite the impressive title track that kickstarted their career in 1960, an hour compilation by an instrumental band doesn't sound easy to sit through. I am happy to report, however, that this was not the case and that the Ventures--mixing tough electric guitars with an upbeat sound that would soon be extensively used in surf rock--are one of the premier groups of the early 60s. They're also one of the earliest bands from the Northwest to achieve national success, so they laid the groundwork for many other hard-nosed bands of the region to make it big too. Aren't we glad about that? A-
