What are the greatest Garage Rock songs or garage rock bands? My favorite is Psychotic Reaction by the Count Five. Here it is. Fuckin awesome.

But this is the one most often mentioned as the best garage rock record. Or at least the most famous. But it's probably famous more because of it's unintelligible singing than anything else. There's not a single intelligible word in the whole song. Other than the title. But it's one of my favorite one anyways.

What do you think are the best garage rock records??
Note: it has to be from the 60s in order to be garage rock. There is no such thing as 70s garage Rock.
There's no such thing as intentional garage Rock. And it can't simply be bands who started by playing in their garage. Because a lot of bands who started in their garage didn't make records that sounded like it. Nobody would describe the records they made as garage rock because they just don't sound like it. The Beach Boys started in their garage yet the music they made isn't garage Rock.

The way that I think about it, garage Rock was not a style but a sound. It's basically a rough, unprofessionally recorded.sound.
It sounds like it was recorded on primitive technology with primitive-sounding musicians. So it could be psychedelic as well as other styles of Rock. Of course some of the most famous ones people would describe as psychedelic. I only recognized very few on the playlist you posted. But it looks like an awesome playlist. Can't wait to hear them. And it looks like most of them are Garage Rock Revival. Not 60s music, but music being made today by garage Rock Revival bands. Some of which are pretty awesome. I like a lot of it.

Btw, I'd love to hear how you guys would define garage Rock. Most people think it's pretty hard to Define. I'd love to here your definition or description of it. Might be completely different than mine.

as far as I know psychedelicguy only uploads old stuff tho I think some is 70s. introduced me to freedom's children, they're rly cool tho I think the song was 1970.
and honestly id have no idea how to define garage rock, like if punk is in the middle and pop punk is on one side of it then garage rock is on the other side?

And also, I consider 1970 part of the 60s. The 60s really didn't end until 72 or 73 or so. I mean musically and culturally. Decades don't end right on time.

wait are we looking at the same link? it's not really a playlist, it's a channel. and I mean a lot of these graphic design things are back in vogue now but like Kath 1974, John Sase is 1985 so that is newer than I expected, but Marc Johnson 1972, Virgil Caine 1971, String Driven Thing 1970, Richard Soutar 1976... shit I rly thought there were more 60s things on here, maybe in the older uploads. but I really don't think there's anything on here too far into the current day.
Also I'm really not so well versed on the 60s but I get the idea of fuzzy end date for decades, like the early 90s still had a lot of 80s in them.

The one I'm looking at is PsychedelicGuys Channel. Not really a playlist. It's the one that you posted.
Look at some of the pictures. They just look like hipsters.
