Paul Revere and the Raiders were HUGE! They aren't forgotten. They had more hits than pretty much all the other groups on your list together. Love is very well-known, too, as their FOREVER CHANGES is widely considered a classic.
I played in two garage bands but some of these Ive never heard of. The Standells were one of my favorites. Another was the Uniques out of Shreveport La. Talked to Joe Stampley a few times and he had a great voice. Then he turned country. Great times!!
Bands like "Electric Prunes" "Strawberry Alarm Clock" "Vanilla Fudge" & especially "Love" are still loved & played, I spin their 45's as often as I can.
Electric Prunes where great as was Paul Revere. Mark Lyndsey from Paul Revere still tours once in a while with the Happy Together tour. Love the music.
James Lowe and the rest of the Prunes were still making new music at least as recently as the mid-2000s. They released an album called Artifact which was very cool. I'm not sure if their website is still active, however.
In 1966, I saw the Standells; they were an opening act for the Rolling Stones. I saw Paul Revere in '66 as well.(and saw them again, I think in the 80s). I really don't think Paul and the Raiders belong on this list. You could say they were a second tier band. Not at Stones or Beatles level, but they did get their share of airplay in the day. And they did keep touring up until 2022.
At 12:33 Eric Burdon & the Animals, Not the Five Americans! Also 12:06 & 13:39 are The Balloon Farm. 14:13, 14:18 & 14:33 all appear to be Shadows of Knight, Not the Music Explosion. Pretty sure 14:51 is The Leaves. 15:47 is the Chocolate Watchband. 15:51 is Big Star from the 70's ( although Alex Chilton was the lead singer for the Box Tops in the 60's, so.....). 20:02....The Doobie Brothers??? C'mon people! 32:02, have no clue who it is! 31:03 Them featuring van Morrison.......Sheesh!
AI generated crap like this are full of errors. This was my era too. I disagree about the Leaves at 14:51. One of the Leaves' founding members Jim Pons doesn't appear to be in this shot. Pons went on to the Turtles and briefly, Frank Zappa.
The reason George Young of the Easybeats mentored AC/DC is because he is Angus Young’s older brother. Dave Purple of the Cryan Shames went on to win a Grammy for engineering Theme From Shaft by Isaac Hayes.
@@macdodd Over 70 here as well. Not familiar the Sonics (although I probably did hear about them), the Remains and the real "stumper:" -- the GANTS. Everyone esle.. oh yeah.
The mix ups on this entire video are endless. He's talking about Chicago group The Cryan' Shames, but some of the photos and the song clips are British group Paul and Ritchie and The Crying Shames.
@@thomassullivan9692 I did wonder about that as I remember buying their records back in the late '60s when I was DJaying. I I was sure they were a British group back then
Yes, correct. All the footage is of the UK band, easily distinguished by a different spelling: Cryin' Shames vs Chicago's Cryan' Shames. The UK band were produced by Joe Meek. His signature haunting sound being very prominent in all of his productions especially 'Telstar' by The Tornados, a UK and US #1. Meek committed suicide on the anniversary of Buddy Holly's death, claiming to have had communications with Holly's spirit. Just before killing himself, he shot his landlady. The last record released just prior to his death was a Cryin' Shames single 'Nobody Waved Goodbye'.
During Chicago's Cryan' Shames segment, some of the pics and film are of British band Paul And Ritchie And The Crying Shames. Two completely different acts.

@@RichardByrd-n3w Ah but she knew all about them before I did as she had a lot of their records she brought back to Scotland with her from Montreal Canada in 1970
Love most of the bands in this video montage. Paul Revere & The Raiders had a hit in the early 70s, plus they still played up till 2016 or so. Electric Prunes played up until early 2000s or late 90s? Sonics played into the 90s era.
most of these bands were just one hit wonders, that is why they are gone. Paul Revere and the Raiders were great. you also used some of these bands in another one of your sixties forgotten band video's.
The Sonics were buried with the MC5. The labels had no idea what to do with them and their fans didn't inhabit the same mainline clubs as their pop/rock or psychedelic cousins.
Thou we never scored The Vagrants, featuring guitarist Leslie West released Respect on Atco records before Aretha Franklin who had a huge hit. We released other singles like I can't make a friend and When its over produced by Felix Papperlidi who went on to form Mountain with Leslie West who had a hit with Mississippi Queen Evangelist Roger Mansour former Leslie West Vagrants Drummer
This feels like a typical AI generated piece full of errors and a drone like voice over. I grew up with these bands as I'm now over 70. It was a fabulous time to be in a band with all the creativity, social changes and musix culture. Most of these bands were one hit wonders but others flourished. Most notably Paul Revere and the Raiders who not only starred on their own TV show ("Happenings". .an after school offering) but set a record with 720 TV appearances by a musical group. The Raiders put out great songs. They also inspired others. Original guitarist Drake Levin was one of Jimi Hendrix' guitar inspirations. Levin was credited for the "double tracking" technique. Around the same time , the band "LOVE" fronted by Arthur Lee had the op to be huge. In fact Epic Records, their label, wanted to push LOVE as a featured artist but Arthur Lee was paranoid about touring. He declined very lucrative gigs that involved flying. He also told Epic to pursue another band that was also playing the Sunset Strip in LA at the time. . .the DOORS. Epic took him up on the suggestion and invited the DOORS to NYC to record. Of course, the rest is history. Arthur Lee even lost his girlfriend, Pamela Courson, to Jim Morrison. Yet, as a body of work, I'd put LOVE ahead of the DOORS. As stated here, the album "Forever Changes" was. .and is. .a masterpiece. LOVE was no one hit wonder by a longshot. Obsevations: At 20:19 Don and Phil Everly are pictured on the far left and far right ends of the band Syndicate of Sound. Of course they were never members of that band. Perhaps the best known member of the STAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK was Ed King. King was one of the co writers of their signature hit "Incense and Peppermints" (which, according to ED he was cheated out of royalties). Ed King left Calif for GA and ended up joining Lynyrd Skynyrd after asking Ronnie Van Zant for consideration. He was a songwriter and guitar extraordinare best known for his iconic song, "Sweet Home Alabama". King left LS over a grueling tour schedule that burned him out. That move may have saved his life. Months later, LS's plane went down in a '77 crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant and 5 others. The TROGGS could have made this list. "Wild Thing" and "A Girl like You" were great songs but the TROGGS never gained the success they sought. Notice the number of Rickenbacker guitars featured in these bands. "Ricks" were made popular by the Beatles but mostly they were affordable. I wish I had purchased (and kept one.) The other instrument used that faded from popularity.. .saxophones. That era will never be repeated. It was wonderful.
5:30 That's a picture of The Zombies, while still talking about the Blues Magoos. And @20:03 who the heck is that? Two drummers and a conga player......

Loved these songs. Too bad there wasn't enough played on here. Grew up listening to AM radio in the 60s.
At 12:33 Eric Burdon & the Animals, Not the Five Americans! Also 12:06 & 13:39 are The Balloon Farm. 14:13, 14:18 & 14:33 all appear to be Shadows of Knight, Not the Music Explosion.

Fantastic! I know all the bands, they made great rock music. Thanks
Most of these American bands didn't even make the radar in the UK
The reason George Young of the Easybeats mentored AC/DC is because he is Angus Young’s older brother.
Dave Purple of the Cryan Shames went on to win a Grammy for engineering Theme From Shaft by Isaac Hayes.
He also had a band called Flash And The Pan
I'm 68yrs....only heard Paul Revere and Strawberry Alarm Clock. No other band is familiar.
You're a bit on the young side LOL need to be in the 70+ age group
If you are Fan of US Garagebands, you know them all, of course!
@@macdoddI’m 65 the only one I’ve never heard of is the Sonics
@@macdodd Over 70 here as well. Not familiar the Sonics (although I probably did hear about them), the Remains and the real "stumper:" -- the GANTS. Everyone esle.. oh yeah.
I’m 58 yrs old and I never heard of these groups, except Paul Revere and the Raiders. Pat Benatar sang one of their songs in the 80’s.
Well, check them out now if you are into mid-sixties garage rock and psychedelia. I am 72, and these bands were a big part of our soundtrack.
The band at 5:28 is the Zombies. At 12:31, it's the Animals. Otherwise, a very nice little compilation.
My radar is fine. I've played all of these bands on my radio show.
Ok so I just did a trip down memory lane & it was good
The Cryin Shames were big in the UK with Please Stay

That is "The Animals" at the 12:33 mark..NOT "The Five Americans".......
And.....At 20:05 that is "The Doobie Brothers"..NOT "The Syndicate Of Sound"...Come on get it right!!!!
Big Star & The Chocolate Watchband were NOT The Human Beinz. Fire your photo editor and hire me😂
Also at 5:28 is the Zombies, not Blues Magoos.

Paul Revere is another band I came to listen to because my wife was raised in Canada
They are from Boise Idaho not Canada

Caught the Raiders near the end of their run at Disney World in '75. They just never evolved beyond the uniforms and bubblegum genre.

go away so many mistakes
You've got the same photo purporting to be of two different groups: the Music Explosion and Shadows of Night.
Thanks for the memories. Cool video Lots of fun and nostalgia, But ..
What? No mention of "The Music Machine" (Talk Talk) ?
20:02 You are talking about a San Jose band, the Syndicate of Sound. You are showing the San Jose band The Doobie Brothers.
Paul Revere and the Raiders great band.
Other bands one hit wonders.
The sonics is the only one I’ve never heard of
How about Los Shakers from Uruguay? 😊

Except for one all these bands are Americans, No wonder so little heard of.
What an idiotic statement. You need to get out more often.
