The Raiders got marketed as teeny-bopper, but I swear that a fair amount of their stuff hits harder today than ever. Pure Garage Rock with a Columbia production budget. They belong in the R&R HOF, joke that it is, as much as anybody. Quote

Jansen (Sylvian's brother) has some worthwhile material as well. And the various sub-combinations of all 4 of them. Quote

Lots of "sub-combinations" for sure! Some of the albums I've listened to are Barbieri/Jensen. 5 hours ago, JSngry said: The Raiders got marketed as teeny-bopper, but I swear that a fair amount of their stuff hits harder today than ever.

There are so many overlooked artists anyway, it doesn't really matter. I forgot about "Steppin' Out" - VERY 'Garage'! Quote

Pure Garage Rock with a Columbia production budget. They belong in the R&R HOF, joke that it is, as much as anybody. Agreed, their earlier singles up through 1967 still sound garage and great, though some of the later stuff moves away from that (though some of it is quite good for what it is). They did have a fair amount of poor filler on their albums, but a lot of good stuff there also. And agreed on both their worthiness for the R&R HOF and that it is a joke. Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, and all those Rap/Hip-Hop acts, etc. may be many things, but they are not R&R. Quote
JSngry Posted March 6 Report Posted March 6 Filler on a mid-60s R&R LP? I'm shocked I tell you, SHOCKED!!!!! Quote

I know, 2 hits + filler = LP for parents to buy kids for christmas. The kids knew to buy the 45's. Beatles and Dylan were the exceptions, not the rule. This ain't exactly "Kicks" or "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone", though it's on the same album ('Kicks'). Edited March 6 by felser Quote
JSngry Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 If their very earliest records are any indication, Mark Lindsaey had put in enough time to at least get a good centered tone, unlike Mike Love who played like ...Mike Love. Quote

Agreed. They did Louie, Louie around the same time the Kingsmen did, and had the stronger version (and the regional Pacific Northwest hit, IIRC), largely due to Lindsay. Quote
Holy Ghost Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 To make up with my wife, over the nonsense I was playing the other night, I played her favorite artist: All because I was playing this: She told me don't ever play that again around me. Fair enough. We made up, we're good 😎 Quote
Dub Modal Posted March 9 Report Posted March 9 Spun the wheel at bandcamp. Clicked Buenos Aires and came up with this: Turns out to be a pretty damn good pop rock record. Pacifica's In Your Face. Quote
Holy Ghost Posted March 9 Report Posted March 9 Played for my father-in-law(he had an overnight observation stay, he's ok) and besides the Doors, his favorite band: Quote
