What song was the catalyst that introduced you to the endless psounds of 60's Garage Rock?

[PSPOT]

Mine was "So What" by The Lyrics. That song opened up Pandora's Box for me and the ENDLESS psounds of the 60's garage rock underground. It continues today...

[swt]

It had to be "Louie Louie" by The KIngsmen. I was in 6th grade. And yes, I thought the lyrics were dirty.

[amoebaboy]

mine was a killer liar liar, not the castaways version, it was an instrumental version that used to get played at northern soul clubs here in the uk late 70s early 80s, still don't know who it by, perhaps someone here will enlighten me.

Mr Pharmacist,99th floor and My Little red book (the Love version); and Strychnine a year later- I already liked the Cramps version a lot;
The Nuggets double album set and 'I can only give you everything' by the Little Boy Blues;
all around '82, the year of Sex beat and Hour of degradation!

[Sectmaniac]

I don't remember, but I want to say "96 Tears" by ? and the Mysterians

[Muggsie]

I'm not totally sure which one but Buried & Dead or Undecided by the Masters.

The summer of 1971 - The girl living next door played "The Witch" by the Sonics for me and I was hooked for life!

[Wipeout!]

Of course "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen was my first experience with thee wild sound, but I had no idea there was other shit out there on the same level until a friend of mine turned me on to the Sonics with the Wailers, Paul Revere, Mitch Ryder and Sam the Sham followin' in quick order.

Hearin' the Stones' "Empty Heart" helped me realize not all of this shit was super-underground either.

After years of adsorbing too much garagepunk (if there is such a thing), these groups still remain at the top o' my list!

[Wipeout!]

How could I forget the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird" and the criminal mind-blow effect it had on me!

Put "Louie Louie", "Surfin' Bird" and "Hanky Panky" by the Shondells on a continuous loop and I'm on my cloud...

[Howie Pyro]

i bought the witch by the sonics as a kid at a garage sale cuz i was into monster stuff & thought it was a monster record! it tore the top of my head off!!!
