Favorite 1960s Garage Rock Songs

Nobody's Children - "Good Times" ...love the lyrics!

 

Shadows of Knight - "Light Bulb Blues"

 

Peter Antell does a snarly, fuzzed up Dylan cover....(1965)

 

Freak off!

i always thought, tho not that long ago as i only came across the term in the Nineties, "FreakBeat" was more "Psych" than "60's US Garage" [as apposED too 90's DJ/Club "Garage"].
Butt than, "60's US Garage" can have "Psych" elements too!!

Wiki tells the tale as you do:

i guess i should just start calling "Garage" ["60's US Garage"] "Garage Rock" too clarify better.

Enjoy.

 

1-2-5 by a 60's group out of Montreal called the Haunted. It's on YouTube somewhere.

 

This could probably pass for garage. It got some airplay in New York (probably because group member Joel O'Brien's dad was a long-time NYC dee-jay on WMCA). Solid track. O'Brien & Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar went on to form Jo Mama with ex-Clear Light keyboard player Ralph Shuckett and Carole King's ex-husband, Charley Larkey. Of course, Kortchmar was all over so many records by Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Jackson Browne and many more.

 

Chess Records-inspired garage blues released on Sun a full decade after the label's glory years. A cool anomaly.

"Desdemona" by John's Children. Also loved The Mirage w/Dee Murray. Can't remember track names, but all those songs ran together, in a good way.

 

Lies...Knickerbockers
Greenberg Glickstein...Cryan' Shames
Just Like Me...Raiders
Did You See Her Eyes...The Illusion

 

Not every song mentioned in the thread fits my understanding of "garage", but maybe it's me that's off. Anyway, here's I'm Through With You by the Mark Five:
