Bob Stanley Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Story of Modern Pop

Lon I seem to have gone the other way round... after close to 25 years almost exclusively listening to jazz (and a little bit of blues), during the last five years I am getting back to some of my favourite rock bands and even exploring new (to me) music from the last decades and from way back in the 60s: more obscure bands or at least previously unknown to me. The latter is the case for several garage bands, some of which got US-wide coverage back in the second half of the 60s... and some even got a major hit, like the Standells or the Sonics, and the Kingsmen a few years before. This is not to say that I am not listening to Duke Ellington, James P or Tete anymore! 😊 That one is new to me, I will check. Thanks! Gov’t Mule is also a fav here!

Ditto!

That one includes tracks from The Remains plus some others prior to 1966, I think. Has anyone listened to their 2002 comeback disc 'Movin' On'?

I am too distant to this music, both geographically and time-wise, to properly understand the social and musical context in the USA and during the second half of the 60s; additionally, the distribution and media coverage for garage bands in Spain was close to zero when I was into rock. However, I have to say that discovering the recordings by The Sonics, The Remains, The Standells, The Kingsmen or the Seeds some 20 years ago was quite a shock for me. How could I have missed this wonderful music? And now we have Latin-disco, trap and reggaeton all over the place!!! 😡

I have yet to explore a good part of the QMS's recorded output. But definitely I agree that their first two LPs are simply superb! Now listening:

Piano Sonata #1 from:

Supergroup in the whole meaning of the word! Talkin' about Clapton-related supergroups, next I will revisit Derek & the Dominos and Blind Faith even smaller output... But first:

They were so damned good!!!

Very easy for Ireland. Its forward pack easily took advantage in most of the plays.
