Eddie Serrato the Drummer for one of the coolest bands of the 60's died at 45, last week. Led by Question (Rudy Martinez) Mark.......The mysterians were one of the many quote Garage bands of the 60's, who came up with the term garage bands and who were some other really cool "garage" bands as opposed to the more polished groups like the Buckinghams and the Association.
I think the following might be rough and tumble garage bands??? what do you think or have some suggestions.

Standells
Seeds
music machine

I don't think The Association qualifies as anything approaching a garage band. They were a sophisticated vocal group which is not the stock in trade of garage bands.

One garage band coming readily to mind is Syndicate of Sound, a Bay Area group which charted "Hey Little Girl" in 1966.

yeah, that's I was trying to say The Bucks and Association are the opposite example, would we safe to assume the Kingsmen to be one of the first garagebands.

Think you meant to say that he was 65 (or 66, if he had already had his 2011 birthday), not 45, which would make him younger than me (47), and I was a preschooler in the '60s myself.

Other non-garage "bands": The Vogues and the Lettermen :eek:

someday you are going to be old and senile like me....good catch , he was born Dec of ,1945. which makes him around 65.
 
I have the first Frat Rock album that Rhino put out in the late '80s, and nearly all the groups on it could qualify as garage bands. The aforementioned Kingsmen and Troggs, Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs, the Swingin' Medallions, etc., and one surf-rock band, the Surfaris ("Wipeout"). About the only non-garage band on that record would have to be the Isley Brothers (the original version of "Twist and Shout" is on there.)

I've got at least one of the "Nuggets" CD's and it includes groups you would not classify as garage (such as the Monkees). It is geared towards the psychedelic sound though.

I remember taking a friend's sister to her high school prom and the Syndicate of Sound was the live band. When they fired up "Hey, Little Girl" the place went nuts! Considering the words weren't all that graceful to the females present you might have thought it would have received a chilling response from the ladies, but nooooooooo. ;D
 
there many garage band compilitions out there, listed below are a few, mostly of regional interest.
Texas Garage Bands & Psychedelia (features early works by Roy Head , Augie Myers of the Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornadoes)
Chicago garage bands: The Quill Records Story (feat early work of Ronnie Rice , future lead of the New Colony Six)
New Mexico Garage bands of the 60's (30 cuts, great one, features early work of Glen Campbell and Randy Castillio future drummer for Ozzy and Motley Crue)
New Mexico Punk (produced in Paris France from someone's 45 record collection, has hard to find material from "The Plague" and "Burgandy Run"
It Came from the Garage:Nuggets from Southern California (features popular So Cal
group The Barracudas")
keep in mind these are mostly of regional interest, being in the southwest, I went nuts with the two New Mexico compilations, full of nuggets from the "Morticians", "Defiants", also several artists from Lance Records, and all the great Soul hits from the "Hurricane" label. Glen Campbell on Crest with "Turn Around Look At Me" and groups "Doc Rand and the Purple Blue" and "The Sheltons" and "Chekkers" all three groups had Randy Castillo on Drums at some point.
