1965-1969

An explosive combo that pioneered progressive and arena rock, each new sound increasing their influence and legacy.
The Who
Out In the Street (Pete Townshend)
I Don't Mind (James Brown)
from My Generation 1965

An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone. At the time of its release, it also had the most ferociously powerful guitars and drums yet captured on a rock record... While the execution was sometimes crude, and the songwriting not as sophisticated as it would shortly become, the Who never surpassed the pure energy level of this record.

With a style honed in the gritty blues bars of Chicago's south side, the Butterfield Blues Band was instrumental in bringing the sound of authentic Chicago blues to a young white audience in the mid-'60s, and although the band wasn't a particularly huge commercial success, its influence has been enduring and pervasive.
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Born in Chicago (Nick Gravenites)
Screamin' (Michael Bloomfield)
from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band 1965
Even after his death, Paul Butterfield's music didn't receive the accolades that were so deserved. Outputting styles adopted from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters among other blues greats, Butterfield became one of the first white singers to rekindle blues music through the course of the mid-'60s. His debut album, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, saw him teaming up with guitarists Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield, with Jerome Arnold on bass, Sam Lay on drums, and Mark Naftalin playing organ. The result was a wonderfully messy and boisterous display of American-styled blues, with intensity and pure passion derived from every bent note. In front of all these instruments is Butterfield's harmonica, beautifully dictating a mood and a genuine feel that is no longer existent, even in today's blues music....

One of the best L.A. folk/psych bands, and producers of the seminal Forever Changes, a symphonic masterpiece of lush textures and surreal lyrics.
Love
Stephanie Knows Who  (Arthur Lee)
Orange Skies (Arthur Lee / Bryan MacLean)
Seven & Seven Is  (Arthur Lee)
She Comes in Colors (Arthur Lee)
from Da Capo 1966
Love broadened their scope into psychedelia on their sophomore effort, Arthur Lee's achingly melodic songwriting gifts reaching full flower. The six songs that comprised the first side of this album when it was first issued are a truly classic body of work, highlighted by the atomic blast of pre-punk rock "Seven & Seven Is" (their only hit single), the manic jazz tempos of "Stephanie Knows Who," and the enchanting "She Comes in Colors," perhaps Lee's best composition (and reportedly the inspiration for the Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow")...

1961-1966

A giant figure of R&B and rock & roll, the New Orleans singer and pianist contributed scores of beloved classics to pop history. 

Fats Domino 

I Hear You Knocking (Bartholomew, Domino, King) 1:57

I Miss You So (Scott, Henderson, Robin) 2:19

Ain't That Just Like A Woman (Demetrius, Moore) 2:42

from I Miss You So 1961

The most popular exponent of the classic New Orleans R&B sound, Fats Domino sold more records than any other black rock & roll star of the 1950s. His relaxed, lolling boogie-woogie piano style and easygoing, warm vocals anchored a long series of national hits from the mid-'50s to the early '60s. Through it all, his basic approach rarely changed. He may not have been one of early rock's most charismatic, innovative, or threatening figures, but he was certainly one of its most consistent.

Domino's first single, "The Fat Man" (1949), is one of the dozens of tracks that have been consistently singled out as a candidate for the first rock & roll record. As far as Fats was concerned, he was just playing what he'd already been doing in New Orleans for years, and would continue to play and sing in pretty much the same fashion even after his music was dubbed "rock & roll."...

The most elemental of the electric blues giants, one of few to both inspire and draw from rock & roll idols. He was beloved worldwide as the king of the endless boogie, a genuine blues superstar whose droning, hypnotic one-chord grooves were at once both ultra-primitive and timeless. But John Lee Hooker recorded in a great many more styles than that over a career that stretched across more than half a century.

John Lee Hooker 

A New Leaf (David Arnold / John Lee Hooker) 2:30

Blues Before Sunrise (Leroy Carr / John Lee Hooker) 3:49

Let's Make It (John Lee Hooker) 2:27

from Burnin' 1962

From the vaults of Vee Jay Records comes an abundance of classic John Lee Hooker reissues, featuring original art work, running orders, and budget prices from the Collectables label. With the amount of Hooker material available on the market, some of it is of dubious quality, but you can't go wrong with these reissues. Burnin' was released in 1962 and combines 12 tracks of electric material performed by Hooker backed by a band... All of the Hooker Vee Jay reissues are recommended.

The Tornados were an English instrumental group mostly active in the 1960s.

The Tornadoes 
Telstar (Meek)
Swinging Beefeater (Meek)
Love And Fury (Duke)
from Telstar 1962
The house band for pioneering record producer Joe Meek. Their original and classic line-up comprised Alan Caddy (guitar), Clem Cattini (drums), Heinz Burt (bass), George Bellamy (rhythm guitar) and Roger LaVern (keyboards). Their instrumental material was composed and produced by Meek, and frequently had a futuristic sound which reflected Meek's interest in electronics and sound manipulation. Although their first single "Love And Fury" bombed, the follow-up "Telstar" caught the public imagination and was a number one hit in both the UK and USA (they were the first British group ever to top the US Hot Hundred).

The most popular and influential rock act of all time, a band that blazed several new trails for popular music.
The Beatles
I Saw Her Standing There  (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
Misery  (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
Anna (Go to Him) (Arthur Alexander)
Chains (Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
from Please Please Me 1963
Once "Please Please Me" rocketed to number one, the Beatles rushed to deliver a debut album, bashing out Please Please Me in a day. Decades after its release, the album still sounds fresh, precisely because of its intense origins. As the songs rush past, it's easy to get wrapped up in the sound of the record itself without realizing how the album effectively summarizes the band's eclectic influences. Naturally, the influences shine through their covers, all of which are unconventional and illustrate the group's superior taste... "I Saw Here Standing There" is one of their best rockers, yet it has surprising harmonies and melodic progressions... The Beatles may have played notoriously rough dives in Hamburg, but the only way you could tell that on their first album was how the constant gigging turned the group into a tight, professional band that could run through their set list at the drop of a hat with boundless energy...
