90. Ides of March
I realised eventually that the guitar riff was lifted from Tired of Waiting.
89. Fire
The first British entry. An utterly daft but addictive Syd Barett rip off.
88. Richard & the Young Lions
From the Detroit area.
87. Les Fleur de Lys
A second British entry. From the Intermediate label
86. The Easybeats
And to Australia. A b-side. Not remotely original. This makes it Garage. And it's not Friday on my Mind.
85. Max Frost & the Troopers
A fictional group put together for the 1968 exploitation film Wild in the Streets.
84. Carrie Nations
And while we're here, here's another. This is slightly beyond the remit as Beyond the Valley of the Dolls but the song certainly fits.
83 Los Bravos
Perhaps also not always thought of as Garage but it sounds right to me and what a great record. Number 2 in the UK and 4 in the US.
82. The Turtles
Not amongst the hippest of the groups of the time but they had their moments.
81. John's Children
Where Marc Bolan came from.
