Nearly every early garage band that made a hit was a OneHitWonder, although some bands like The Sonics, The Standells, The Seeds, and especially Music/PaulRevereAndTheRaiders were slightly luckier. (Also, major names like Music/AliceCooper, Music/TedNugent, [[Music/TheStooges Iggy Pop]] and Music/ToddRundgren got their starts in garage bands.) The double LP (and later box set) ''Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era: 1965-1968'', compiled by Music/PattiSmith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye, contains a decent amount of these hits, as well as some "deep cuts" and even novelty songs from garage and PsychedelicRock.
