The 100 Best Garage Band Songs Countdown # 7 40 - 31

40. The Hombres
 
 
One of the greatest riffs of all!
 
39. The Small Faces
 
 
38. The Chocolate Watchband
 
 
Later covered by The Undertones.
 
37. The Nashville Teens
 
 
Not from Nashville in fact but Weybridge, Surrey.
 
36. The Chambers Brothers
 
 
Perhaps too distinguished musically for most Garage bands. But a truly wonderful record!
 
35. The Misunderstood
 
 
John Peel favourites. I think he overrates them slightly but this is great!
 
34. The Sir Douglas Quintet
 
 
They took on the ridiculous name to ape The British Invasion. Then hit big with this.
 
33. The Nazz
 
 
Where Todd Rundgren started from.
 
32. The Who
 
 
Perhaps not their most Garage moment. But I always remember a story about Patti Smith and Tom Verlaine dancing to this on the CBGBs Jukebox.
 
31. The Rivieras
 
 
Early One Hit Wonders. Later covered by both the The Ramones and The Dictators to keep the CBGB connection into the Top 30..
