60s garage rock mix 

This collection, along with others on RU-vid, make me think about the hundreds, or thousands of aspiring bands that made records that never got heard outside their hometowns, at best. Dreams.

I don't know ANY of these bands. This is awesome!

Please don’t ever remove this. I found this playlist my sophomore year of high school after coming out of a very dark period of my life and listened to it every morning before school and continued to in class. Not long after I found this my life was followed with perfect abundance. It’s very close to my heart for that reason. Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with all of us

in my humble opinion, 60s has even better music than the 80s

I was in one of those similar garage bands. We played all over northern Ohio--private clubs, house parties, garages, city pools, junior high schools, high schools... even mental hospitals! No shit. Our moms transported us to the gigs in our family station wagons. We recorded a record. It was a great time! Lots of hard work and big dreams! It was a great time when music and movies drove our culture rather than IT and politics like now.

i love how almost everyone in the comments are older people talking about their lives *edit:* man, wth with the hate comments... i just like to hear old people's experiences in their lives because i find it interesting. If you insult them or make jokes about them because that makes you feel like a 'cool bad kid' please stop, some people deserve respect; i said 'some', okay? i know not all old people is good, like not every single teenager in this generation is dumb too. if you're young like 13 or 15, idk; nice. Let's just listen to some good music. Have a nice life, guys; I wish u all the best.

we as a society collectively need to bring back the 60s

I was in a garage band during the 1960s in Marianna Florida. This little northern Florida town had more than its share of rock bands during that era. My group was called The Citations. We played the teen clubs at the military bases, school dances, proms and house parties. It was wonderful and I fondly remember the innocent excitement. I still have my 1966 Fender Mustang guitar. Other groups in Marianna included The Bangs, The Lyrics, The Rising Suns, The Dimensions, and The Younger Kind.

The 60s was a lot more than just the Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Temptations, CCR, Jefferson Airplane, etc. All great bands, don't get me wrong. But even the 60s had its underground music scene that should be appreciated.

I reckon all mix videos need time-stamps. The Enfields - I'm For Things You Do: 0:00 - 2:27 The Choir - In Love's Shadow: 2:28 - 5:05 Danny & The Counts - Ode to Wind: 5:06 - 7:39 The Odes & Ends - Never Learn: 7:40 - 10:23 Squires - Wonderin': 10:24 - 12:47 The Illusions - Little Girl: 12:48 - 15:09 Dark Knights - Send Her to Me: 15:10 - 17:41 Young Tyrants - She Don't Get the Right: 17:42 - 20:39 Mystic Tide - Stay Away: 20:40 - 22:53 Avenger VI - Heartbeat: 22:54 - 25:01 The Malibu's - Cry: 25:02 - 27:13 The Nomads - Please Don't Hurt Me: 27:14 - 29:34 The Jades - You Have to Walk: 29:35 - 31:57 The Hangmen - The Girl Who Faded Away: 31:58 - 34:40 Outer Limits - Alone and Crying: 34:41 - 37:12 The Outsiders - Sun's Going Down: 37:13 - 39:50 Cool Stove - Big Sensation: 39:51 - 42:29 Vanguards - I Know A Girl: 42:30 - 44:17 Us Too Group - I'll Leave You Crying: 44:18 - 46:42 Good Feelin's - Shattered: 46:43 - 48:58 Fugitive Five - (I Ain't Gonna Give Up) My Way Of Life: 48:59 - 51:29 Blue Boys - I Know: 51:30 - 54:12 Tides In - Trip With Me: 54:13 - 56:54 Dominions - I Need Her: 56:55 - 59:36 Young Men - A Thought for you: 59:37 - 1:02:34 The Endless - Tomorrows Song: 1:02:35 - 1:05:04 The Briks - It's Your Choice: 1:05:05 -1:07:58 Dagenites - I'm Gonna Slide: 1:07:59 - 1:10:37 The Trodden Path: Keep Me Hangin' On: 1:10:38 - 1:12:59 Most of these stamps will have the slight fading ending of the previous song due to the nature of the transitions.

60's rock is beautiful. It all sounds like it comes out of a post-western cowboy film and it makes everything feel good.

Even though I'm Goth, I just love the vibes of this decades underground... more dark an melancholic than most nowadays Gothbands...

Dang, this lady is probably 80 something now.

This make me want to start a garage band tbh I'm 17 an i feel like I should of done more fun things in my teenage life

Hell yeah. I feel like a sad Lagoon Creature watching a beach party from far away 💚

You know how many of these tracks would be absolute cash if they were remastered? This music is so good, and they stopped making it, and all these tracks are virtually unheard of! Like a treasure trove of classics unearthed.

My dad had me cut my teeth on 50, 60, 70 music. The 60’s where our Favorite. I lost him in 2005. He was only 55 , thank you agent orange, I’m now 45 in 2020 and I still love this music...he is always rocking out with when I listen too!

I turned 18 in Pasadena Ca in 1969. So many memories, what an amazing time. Thanks for taking time to put this togetherJohn Embree

I’m 17 and I feel like a weirdo for liking older music instead of music from my generation but I just can’t help it these songs are just too good to be forgotten

I was born in the 90s in Europe. A few years ago I was so sick of everything, that I quit my job, packed my backbag and flew over to the US. Every night I drank with fellow travellers and hobos. One day still in a half booze I was gazing out of our car's window as we passed by the Whiskey a Go Go. I swear for a second I was in the Sixties and felt what those times were like. I'll never forget that moment!

I'm in my late 60's now man I swear I really didn't understand how good we had it then man I'd go back now.

As a hippie/flower child who grew up on '60s/'70s rock, this is one of the best compilations of the garage rock I've ever heard...reminiscent of The 13th Floor Elevators! Well done!

The first song is incredible. Like i've listened to hundreds, thousands of 1960's songs but this one is like hearing husker Du 20 years before they ever existed. Blew me away

I love that 60's sound. Makes me reminisce of a bygone era.

"We are a garage band. We come from garage land." The Clash.

This is the sound of the "LA Band Wars" of the 1960's - surf music with English pretensions. Good bands like this at every high school. Along with cars, girls and going to the beach. Another era.

There are a surprising amount of genuine longing in these songs. Something that's missing in todays music. When I think of the 60s, I think of sunny days and the colour blue for some reason. I think it's because of the music and the movies of that time.

I lost the love of my life and then I found this. It's a very strange feeling listening to these songs. It's scary how well I relate to some of them.

One of the best garage mixes out there, with this unique depressive cool feeling that most miss.

I was born in 1999. So currently I'm 21 years old. Old nostalgic things like this, makes me feel lost. Like I'm not supposed to be here. I know many others feel the same. I wonder how my life would've been if I was a young teenager back in the 60s-90s. Even in this century, I was an awkward (but once you know me I'm fun) person. Didnt do much since I was born in a world of phones, computers, TVs so everything was digital. But I think I would be more if I was alive back then

The 60s had such a distinct sound..... some of the best, most unique rock I have ever heard was made in this period - and nothing has since come close. As much as I wish I could have been there to experience it in person, I am glad to be able to hear it all from the comfort of my room on a rainy day. Still wish I could go back in time though.

Goosebumps throughout every song. It's time for our next Revolution ☮️💚🎵

this kinda music makes me remember how good it is to be alive

I feel like I'm in a Quentin Tarantino film!

Я помню как в Ростове-на-Дону в середине 70-х годов вместе с другом по выпивке (и по гаражу), мы взяли примитивную акустику, сделанные на коленках барабаны, как сейчас помню там был толстый кусок металла и рюкзак с чем-то твердым внутри, и начали творить!!! Мы делали это в гаражах на окраине, чтоб нас не поймали за этим занятием. Давали концертики на 5-7 человек. Пели о чем было. Одну песню я напишу, другую - друг. Мы даже записали несколько пластинок, и раздали всем, кого знали. На этих пластинках был наш единственный альбом. Он назывался "Зачем любить?". А наша группа - ЭлектроАкулы!!! Сейчас я уже утерял те песни, хотя руки помнят аккорды. Нельзя сказать, что у нас было много любителем, но к нам часто ходили. Они были молодыми, мы - тоже. Однажды посетил полицейский в отставке. Его звали Вадим, как сейчас помню. Не сдал нас за наши, полные ужасного жаргона песнопения, хотя должен был. Спасибо ему. Вообщем весело было. Не было технологий... Было лишь творчество. Вскоре группа распалась. Друг уехал в Москву на обучение. Я остался. Про нас скоро забыли... Хотя если вернуться в те тихие жаркие края... Возможно кто-то нас вспомнит.... 🙂

I thought the first song was like an early Beatles song it sure does sound like them.

Im 16 and idk why i love seeing 60's girls style

I could dance to this like a 60's go-go girl all day.

1966 was such an unsung year for great music. These bands didn't get big, but, the music captures a great spirit.

I was a teenager in the 1960s and this reminds me of how many good small town bands there were and how fantastic the music was. I am so grateful my young years were filled with quality vibes. I listen to what passes for music today, and I feel sorry for young people.

JEEZ I heard the first song and I was like: " I love GARAGES!"

I haven't heard a single one of these songs before, but they all have a familiar sound to them. This is amazing!

What's weird is that I'm high from just listening from the first song.

GOOD MUSIC FOREVER!

This is probably the finest compilation of garage rock from the 60s that I've ever heard. I am a beginning bass player and I so love hearing the killer bass lines in these songs, in addition to the cool reverb on the Teles and Strats.

Since covid19, our store has been playing the music that the staff want to hear, rather than the radio everyday. I will be playing this mix next week. Thankyou. I''m sure our customers and staff will enjoy it. :D

Ive only been to Cali one time, but the way this music makes a man feel- youd think i lived there FOREVER.

The roots of punk.

I was really surprised (in a good way) that I've never heard of any of these groups before. I was expecting this compilation would have like The Yardbirds, Animals, Kinks, Beau Brummells, etc. But at the same time it's sad that these really great groups aren't half as known as the aforementioned ones. So thanks for sharing mod elo.

So enjoyable , easy listening , I was born in the 60’s and I’m still stuck in that era . Nothing like music from this time and early 70’s .

The world ain't fair to soul searching musicians.. no savants.. but unrecognized love to the purity..

Good Job. Good Effort. I'm old. I played in garage bands during this era. Saw the Seeds, Doors and Buffalo Springfield, to name a few. Bitchen! Nothing but praise and respect for these compilations. Your taste and mixing are impeccable. Straight fire.

Back in the mid 60s, as a teenager with a pocket transistor AM radio, I was never able to hear gems like this on top 40 playlists on stations like WLS in Chicago or WQAM in Miami. Thanks so much for for this compilation.

Tarantino was here

haven't heard a single one of these hidden gems. I would've loved to been around for the 60s, if only the internet existed back then.

How can an American not love this music? I love our history. This music is far-out. I would be listening to this in the 60s 100%.

Why, Oh Why, did all the Rock radio stations withhold all these precious sonic jewels from us?? Is it because these bands didn't play into the the "Payola" corruption of the music industry? Now our Rock stations just play the same big industry crap on rotation nausea. ~Steven of Montreal

90's baby, but this playlist is timeless

I remember listening to this playlist nonstop during 2018-2019. And I thought life was difficult back then, if only I knew how bad it would get :P This music is still amazing

The fact that I dont know any of these bands makes it 100x better

This is what the internet was made for, nevermind anything else. Only know 3 songs but I'm blown, thank you!

this is my favorite youtube playlist ever.

I've been coming back to this for the past two years and I know I'll continue to❤❤❤

need this playlist on spotify

I'm in love with that first Enfields song, sooooo good!😁

songs like this gives me dejavu feeling. im 27 year old girl in Nigeria but my taste of music makes me wonder if i really belong to this era.

Something about the first song makes me keep coming back to this playlist

I love how little the underlying vibe of underground music has changed, the need to prove yourself, the energy of desperation, i hear it still and feel it every show I play

thing songs are raw asf.very rare

My still unfulfilled dream is having my own independent radio program in a cheap overnight slot in some small obscure backwater station and be fully dedicated to rescue those lost gems....

I'm 30 but I feel more comfortable listening to 60s music than anything else, like its home to me.

I'm 18 and i love this type of music. Really makes me feel like i'm living my teen life in 60s and 70s.

31:58 Though some attribute "The Girl Who Faded Away" to the MD band The Hangmen, Chris Bishop of Garage Hangover says that the released version of the song is likely the Reekers' acetate that was earlier recorded at Rodel Studio in Georgetown. In 1966 the Hangmen recorded a substantially different version of the song for their LP, Bittersweet.

I didn't know this was my favorite genre

sixties sisters...from Polydoor to K-tell..disco to my teen years of our eighties music...then my little daughters music..the nineties...my step kids hip hop..my friends dubstep...Now my girlfiends metal...and my U Tube searches bringing up this great music! born sixty four..too young for this...But this is amazing! An artist only..not musician..this is music that branches down into the soul...Mirage watching....the dreamer action..the sway and heart and soul that reaches past politics and broken spirits.....fill the quench of that want..the hunger of that need..soundtracks for brilliant sunshine and long dark nights...

Please don't ever delete this. It means so much to me! ❤

Begining of the first song similar to The most mysterious song on internet!!!

Back when music had charm.

Im just a 16 years old but I would love soooo bad to live the 60s.

I'm 77...the sound of these bands has a familiar groove ... similar so much of the music that made it big. I have always been blues hypnotized but much of this music just fit what was happening around us.

to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will EQUALLY really LOVE LITERALLY all of 1960's garage rock

Good ! Good ! So good songs...❤

When I was a kid in the 60's, in every other garage, there was a band blasting bloody-murder.

Why the hell isn't any of this stuff on Spotify?!?!?!

So many bands no worse than beatles or rhcp just didnt make it to the top... Great mix, thanks. I come back here every once in a while just to enjoy it

The birthplace of Punk Rock.

The only way for him to have this raw power is to be a vinyl collector which I do believe he is. I dont think you can find these on the net and I hear the crackle sound. Good music brother

Did you make this entire list yourself? If you did, I think that takes a whole other level of musical taste and geniousness.

Wow, this is very enjoyable to listen to. I've always loved the 60's but there was always a sound that was beyond Pop that I couldn't quite find. Now I have. Thank you!

makes me think of my mom.

AWESOME!!!!!

“Send her to me” is the BEST song ever

The first song sounds like early Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia surf rock licks mixed with the Byrds vocals. Fantastic

I hate to be one of those "born in the wrong generation" teens, so I'll spare you all that line. I'm a simple 16 year old girl currently, but I'd love to just go back for a day or two and experience the 60s/70s. I know there were hardships and such, and not everything was sunshine and rainbows, but I'd still love it nonetheless. My grandpa was about 20 in 69, and my grandma was a teenager. They tell me stories all the time about how much they loved it, and I can't help but adore it too. Sorry if that sounds cringey, but just thinking about the past makes me sad and stuff I couldn't experience the difference history taking place. I hope that doesn't sound insensitive or anything hehe. Anyways, great playlist and if you've read this far then have a great day :) 🌻

Oh please, I love this!! Long lost tunes!! thank you..thank you so much!! Kisses!!

These are the great bands that refused to sell their souls for 30 pieces of silver. Notice how much better they sound than mainstream groups from the same era. It is for more reasons than you know.

I started a garage band that lasted from 1966-71 (jr high into high school), I was the drummer. The name 'The Cellophane Flowers' was a real period piece. Made all my spending $ this way, it was a blast.

Remember listening to many of this songs back in the days with my grandchildren

"I don't know why none of these bands never made it big true most of them tried to use the same sound as others especially the more successful ones but they still should have made it, I'm 55 yrs. old and I've always loved the rock music of the 60's & 70's and the 80's(some of them), this is the first time I've heard of these bands and I would rather listen to them than any of the junk they put out today, thanks and keep finding more undiscovered bands of yesterday for today."-😎📻🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁.
