10 FORGOTTEN 60s Rock Bands That Rocked Then Vanished

Описание: They lit up clubs, cracked the charts, then slipped out of the story. This deep-dive brings back 10 bands who proved they had the songs, the look, and the lightning—before draft boards, label drama, and shifting scenes cut the tape. Clean storytelling, clear receipts, and one signature track for each pick so you can hear the spark for yourself.
What you’ll get
• A no-fluff history of each band’s rise and fade
• One essential track per band to add to your playlist
• Context on why promising careers stalled in the 60s (draft, labels, lineups, taste changes)
• Easy chapters to jump around

Bands featured
• The Remains — Boston’s tightest live unit; Beatles tour vets who left a killer LP.
• The Misunderstood — John Peel-backed psych visionaries derailed by the draft.
• Count Five — Teen fuzz merchants behind the garage classic “Psychotic Reaction.”
• The Music Machine — Black-gloved minimalists who basically predicted proto-punk.
• The Electric Prunes — Psychedelic single that bent radio (“Too Much to Dream”).
• The Chocolate Watchband — San Jose snarl, swagger, and a scene-defining 45.
• The Knickerbockers — “Lies,” the sharpest Beatlesque blast not by the Beatles.
• The Leaves — Fast, bright, charting take on “Hey Joe.”
• The Creation — Mod/freakbeat innovators; feedback as art, cult forever.
• The Human Beinz — Irresistible “no-no-no” chant, short run, eternal hook.
