ROCKMAN

In Charlie Is My Darling there's an Irish band called The Creatures. Never heard of them again but they looked real cool and had way long hair for 66.

From a Finnish point of view, The Beatles were unreachable, the legendary dangerous Rolling Stones visited the country in midsummer 1965 (a part of Finnish folklore now), but who really conquered the country were the guys from Birmingham, THE RENEGADES. In 1965 they won the FabFour and the Stones in the charts and pools and were the hottest thing on earth - in Finland, and to an extent in some other European countries, but I think they were totally unknown in their homeland, not to mention the States... Here they are, in Finland made promo film for their biggest hit "Cadillac":





And here is another 'big one'. Boy, that is what I call garage rock!





Here is some evidence that the hearts (and who knows what more) that were ready for John&Paul or Mick&Brian were occupied by those Birgingham lads (the drummer boy surely has had more influences from Keith Moon than from Charlie..):

The Standells were more like the American Pretty Things.

Funny, I was thinking of the same, but then again: it seems like all the bands 'copying' the Stones turned out to sound more like The Pretty Things. Perhaps The Pretty Things also...

I don't know but the first american band that reaches Stones quality is in my musical world Velvet Underground

2 1 2 0

why compare with the Stones or anyone, uya like a lot of these Garage Bands, they were strongly influenced by the British Invasion" stones or otherwise,. just listen to NUGGETS and enjoy.

heres something pre-brit invasion featuring buddy holly on guitar who was big influence on a few ofb those brit bads, stones & beatles included. the brit invasion was really just returnig the music to its home and reminded the kids what its all about.

Iggy of course did this much later

Thanks for these some of these are the greatest rock n roll songs of all time

Some Stones-inspired garage rock from the Northern Europe... This is the Creatures - a band that never made a record but were caught live for the film "Käpy selän alla" (1966)... also some typical Finnish drinking habits is presented there... (for Baboon Bro: the song is a Swedish original, and in drums is no else but Remu from the Hurriganes... the singer is 15 years old Kirka Babitzin, a very popular pop singer in Finland later)

This is the Garage band

<<What do you guys and girls think?>>

The Standells; good band. Did a great cover of 19th Nervous Breakdown

Does anyone know anything about the Standells album, Hot Hits & Hot Ones: Is This the Way That You Get Your High? Mick, Keith, Brian, and Bill are all listed as unknown contributors where ever I find this album.....

What about the Irish band The Creatures who were filmed in Charlie Is My Darling. Never heard of them after that. Does anybody know what became of them?

Saw a listing for the Amboy Dukes ...
Great band from my home town ...
Before Ted got weird.




Amboy Dukes

Marv Peck

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

The Chocolate Watchband were VERY Stonesey:





And of course the Flamin' Groovies:





Great stuff.

i'd like to have a dollar for every band who tried to be like the stones anywhere on the planet . during 68-72 era the stones were untouchable but the only band who even came close was creedence

The Stadells did some good cover versions of "Paint It Black" and "19th Nervous Breakdown" back in the day.

They appeared on the 60's show (The Munsters) they played "I wanna hold your Hand" in the living room at 1313 Mockingbird lane.

But what about the album, Hot Hits & Hot Ones: Is This the Way That You Get Your High?

Below is a link to one of any number of sites that indicates Mick, Keith, Brian, and Bill were all unknown contributors. Does anyone know anything about it? I can't find this album in Wikipedia either. IF they are all on the album, I'd like to buy it, but if not, then I don't want to!

No Stone ever contibuted or played on any Standells songs.

Love the Standells...keep their GREATEST HITS cd in my car and listen to it all the time.

Also love the Flamin' Groovies. I think any Stones fan would dig the album TEENAGE HEAD. (thanks for the tip about Chocolate Watch Band...heard their name a lot but not their music)

How about some love for THE SEEDS? Their legendary frontman, Sky Saxon passed awya last year (same day as MJ and Farrah, I think). RIP, Sky.

Agree about the Chocolate Watchband being very Stonesy. Also The Shadows of Knight are very close too.

some great US bands in that 1965-68 period
