By '66 the world was already over folk rock and getting sick of beat groups, at that time there were already new cool fuzzed out sounds pumping out of America, so by 1966 rock had found a new bad ass phase, Garage punk, which showed up, took over, and disappeared for 10 years. You had groups like The Seeds, The Count Five, The Standells, The Music Machine ... etc, playing a faster, louder, more primitive version of rock 'n' roll than any other band at the time ... Even The Beatles did a their infamous butcher babies cover for Yesterday And Today that featured a couple of fuzztoned numbers showing that the masses were possibly ready for the punk rock ethos, but then the summer of love hit, setting us forward again, but as the years passed the hippie bullshit piled up too high and it was back to basics a decade later!
