Mike Dugo of 60sgaragebands.com has been gracious
enough to donate a couple of cd's to give away to some of our readers who participated in
helping us to prepare the final ballot. (Don't worry ... there's no need to
register ... if you voted, your name is already in the hat!)
We'll pick a couple of winners this weekend and get you
a copy of either the "Those Guys" CD or "The Chains" CD. (You can read more
about them both at the link below ... and, of course, you can also order your
own copy through Mike's amazing website! Browse around and learn more about some of the best known ... and UNknown garage bands of this era.) Mike is also preparing short bios on each of The Top 20 Finalists ... and we may have another surprise or two in store, too. WRCO Disc Jockey Phil Nee will countdown The Top 20 on his program later in June ... more details on that coming soon! (kk)
Hi Kent!
This is a really great list of finalists ... that's for
sure!
I will be giving away copies of Those Guys and The Chains. Your readers will need to be real die-hard garage band fans to know either group, but I think they'll enjoy the music.

Love your site..Just found it tonight thru 60sGaragebands.com ...
My Favorite 60's Garage bands from the list would have to be in order:
1. Blues Magoos
2. Knickerbockers
3. Cyrkle
4. Standells
5. Five Americans
6. Electric Prunes
7. Buckinghams
8. Love
9. Shadows of Knight
10. Merry-Go-Round
I would have rated the Merry-Go-Round higher had they had more than one lp ... I thought Emitt Rhodes was brilliant.
I also would have liked to have seen the "Critters" on the list (Mr. Dieingly Sad is one of my favorite songs ever)

Glad you're enjoying Forgotten Hits. Actually,
I don't think The Critters were ever even nominated! (Wish you would have found
us sooner! Lol) kk
