History Main / GarageRock

* Music/PhantomPlanet (only in their self-titled and ''Raise the Dead'' albums).

* Music/{{Love}} (started as Garage, evolved into PsychedelicRock and BaroquePop)

** 1983 - ''Music/{{Murmur}}

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 Steve Tyler of Music/{{Aerosmith}}, Music/AliceCooper, Music/TedNugent, Music/IggyPop, Music/ToddRundgren, Music/BobSeger, and Billy Gibbons of Music/ZZTop got their starts in garage bands.) The double LP ''Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era: 1965-1968'', compiled by future Music/PattiSmith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye in 1972, contains a decent amount of these hits, as well as some "deep cuts" and even novelty songs from garage and PsychedelicRock; it was later expanded into a series of CD box sets, and has also [[FollowTheLeader inspired]] countless similar compilations.

* NamesTheSame[=/=][[SimilarlyNamedWorks Similarly Named Groups]]: In those pre-Internet days, it was all too easy for bands in different cities or countries to give themselves identical names without realizing it. Particular favorites included the Missing Links (used by 9 different bands), the Chosen Few (10 bands) and the Coachmen (11 bands).

In the [[TheSeventies 1970s]] and [[TheEighties '80s]], punk bands like Music/TheCramps and Music/TheRamones would create the first garage rock revival, while Music/{{Nirvana}} and Music/{{Mudhoney}} also struck it big with a variant of {{Grunge}} heavily influenced by garage rock. But the most successful revivalists came in the 2000s, when Music/TheWhiteStripes, Music/TheStrokes, and Music/TheHives achieved a commercial success that was unrivaled by even the first wave of garage rock bands.

* Music/TheRamones
** 1976 - ''Music/{{Ramones}}''

->''"They wanted to be Music/TheBeatles. They wanted to be [[Music/TheRollingStones The Stones]]. OK, so a couple of them made it… but what about the rest?"''

The first wave of garage rock lasted roughly from [[TheSixties 1964–68]]. Perhaps the most influential (and definitely the most frequently covered) garage rock single was "Louie Louie", a tune written by Richard Berry, reintroduced by The Sonics and The Wailers and definitively CoveredUp by The Kingsmen in 1963. However, it was UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion that really started the deluge, with Music/TheBeatles, Music/TheRollingStones, and all the movement's other groups inspiring countless teens from all over the world to form their own bands.

* Music/TheRollingStones (their influence on the genre can't be overstated)

* {{Flanderization}}: The original 60s garage bands were a diverse bunch; several bands performed [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles-like]] PowerPop or [[Music/TheByrds Byrds]]-ish FolkRock. However, the genre became best known for bands influenced by the tougher, R&B-inspired side of UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion, such as Music/TheRollingStones, Music/TheWho, Music/TheAnimals, Music/TheKinks and Music/TheYardbirds.

* Music/TheFugs ("Boobs A Lot", "Kill For Peace")

There is significant overlap between garage rock, SurfRock, FolkRock, UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion, PowerPop, and ProtoPunk. Question Mark & the Mysterians, The Monks, and a few later garage rock bands such as Music/TheStooges and Music/{{MC5}} are often considered to be the first PunkRock bands.
