1. The King Bees
The Kingbees, also known as The King Bees, was a short-lived New York-based rhythm and blues Garage musical group of the 1960s.
The Kingbees were Danny Kortchmar (credited as Danny Kootch) (guitar), Joel O'Brien (drums), Dickie Frank (bass) and John McDuffy (vocals and organ). They released three singles on the RCA label.
After the group disbanded, Kortchmar and O'Brien met again in the Flying Machine, fronted by then-unknown James Taylor, and were later to reunite in Jo Mama. In 2003 after O'Brien's death they had a memorial where Kortchmar and Frank played. The Kingbees were formed in 1964 or 1965.
2. Thee Deuces
3. The Munks
4. A Passing Funcy
A Passing Fancy was a Toronto band from the mid-1960s fronted by the singer-songwriter and guitarist Jay Telfer, today publisher and editor of the antique collector's magazine Wayback Times, and Dr. Brian Price, president of In The Game Hockey Cards.

6. The Great Scots
While determining just who was America's or Britain's greatest rock & roll band will forever be in doubt, the list gets whittled down to one name when figuring out who was the biggest group from Nova Scotia: the Great Scots. From Halifax, the Scots cut three singles of wild punk music, loaded with solid playing and great screaming vocals.
The group began officially in 1963 as the Shadows, changing their name to the Beavers (all wearing Mohawk haircuts) the following year and finally becoming the Great Scots by December 1964. The original lineup consisted of guitarist Bill Schnare, singer Rick McNeil, bassist Dave Isnor, drummer Gerry Archer and guitarist Wayne Forrest. Hailed in the Canadian press as "Canada's answer to the Beatles," the group flew down to California in 1965, looking for bigger horizons to conquer.
7. The Guess Who
Αre a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Initially gaining recognition in Canada, the group also found international success from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s with numerous hit singles, including "No Time", "American Woman", "These Eyes" and "Share the Land". Several former members of The Guess Who, notably Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (of Bachman–Turner Overdrive), have found considerable success outside the band.
8. Michel & the French Candians
9. The Deverons
Burton Cummings was born and raised in the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, as were all of the original members of The Guess Who.
His first band was a local Winnipeg R&B group The Deverons, with an ‘E’, (not to be confused with the band The Devrons who had Country/R&B hits in the early 60’s such as “Brand X”, “Battle Him”, “Lost Love”, “Too Little Too Late”). He joined The Guess Who in 1965 to replace keyboardist Bob Ashley and shortly thereafter its previous lead singer, Chad Allan, left the band.
10. Jury
11. Painted Ship
Alumni of Vancouver, BC's largely unheralded '60s music scene, this
quartet consisted of buckskin-clad Bill Hay (vocals), Bob Rowden
(guitar), Ken Wain (keyboards) and Barry Rowden (drums). The band cut
two late-'60s singles with the London label: "Little White Lies" b/w
"Frustration" and "Audience Reflections" b/w "And She Said 'Yes.'"
"Frustration" seethes with primal angst. Its structure recalls the
Castaways' "Liar Liar," with organ runs from Uzbekhistanm -- or the
Hindu Kush. "Lies," Hays said, was "a parody of a swaggering rock star."
12. King Bees
13. The Canadian Squires
The Canadian Squires evolved from Ronnie Hawkins’ backing band the Hawks. Hawkins and his drummer Levon Helm were from Arkansas, but finding huge success in Ontario, they started recruiting local musicians as original members of the Hawks returned to the U.S.
After leaving Hawkins in 1964, the group toured on their own, usually billed as Levon and the Hawks. Personnel changed periodically, but by the time of this recording, all the members of the group that would go on to become the Band was in place, four of the five from southern Ontario.
Hawkins’ producer at Roulette, the legendary Henry Glover brought them into Bell Studios in New York to record two fine Robbie Robertson originals, “Leave Me Alone” and “Uh Uh Uh”, in the spring of 1965. Glover released these on the Ware label in the U.S., and on Apex in Canada.
14. The Great Scots
Artist Biography
by Cub Koda
While determining just who was America's or
Britain's greatest rock & roll band will forever be in doubt, the
list gets whittled down to one name when figuring out who was the
biggest group from Nova Scotia:
the Great Scots. From Halifax,
the Scots cut three singles of wild punk music, loaded with solid playing and great screaming vocals.
The group began officially in 1963 as
the Shadows, changing their name to the Beavers (all wearing Mohawk haircuts) the following year and finally becoming
the Great Scots by December 1964. The original lineup consisted of guitarist Bill Schnare, singer Rick McNeil, bassist Dave Isnor, drummer
Gerry Archer and guitarist Wayne Forrest. Hailed in the Canadian press as "Canada's answer to
the Beatles,"
15. Brian Rednond & the Sound Box
Second 45 and great follow up to their Psychedelic "Warm Your Mind & Soul". A-side was written by fellow Montréaler, Andy Kim. This was the band's last record and was produced by CFOX deejay Bill Lowell for Donald K Productions (same people that booked Simple Simon & The Piemen). Brian Redmond would later record with Martin Martin.
16. Richie Knight & the Mid-Knights
By the Summer of 1962 the group was playing bars on the famed Yonge Street strip. It was at one of these venues that a promotional man at Arc Records saw the band playing. He thought one specific song the band was performing could be a hit record and brought it to the attention of Bill Gilliland. The song was called "Charlena" and the group had learned it from a record released by a Los Angeles group called The Sevilles.
17. The Guess Who
18. The Secrets
19.The Checkerlads
In their brief existence, the Checkerlads released just three singles, the best of which has got to be this scorching piece of garage punk. The Regina quintet of Arnold Rippliner, Robert Frei, Robert Bucholtz, Harvey Frasz and Larry Reich issued the first of those records on the Thunder Bay-based Gaiety imprint in 1966. And though the band's self-penned Rolling Stones clone on the a-side seemed the better of the two tunes, it was the frantic flipside that managed to tweak the charts. 'Shake Yourself Down' and its cheeky pilferage of 'Louie, Louie' entered Vancouver's CFUN 1410 Canadian Runners-up chart the week of October 29th. South of the border, the suits at RCA Victor obviously took note, reversing the two sides for the U.S. release. Near-mint copies of this record will set you back three bills on either label, but the holy grail is definitely the ultra-rare picture sleeve that came with Gaiety promo copies.
21.M.G. and the Escorts
The band was Glenn Grecco lead guitar, Graham Powers vocals, Mike Gauthier guitar, Glen Stephen bass and Bill Bryans on drums, from the Pointe Claire section of Montreal.
Their other 45s are excellent as well. You can hear that distorted guitar sound on their very first 45, “Please Don’t Ever Change”, which was a top ten Canadian hit in May of ’66. It was written by Glenn Grecco, who also wrote “A Someday Fool”, and backed with a slow ballad, “Sorry to Hear”.
23. The Vipers
The Vipers were an Irish group of the late 1970s. An incendiary live act fronted by Paul Boyle and virtuoso guitarist George Sweeney, they built up a loyal following in their home country and toured with the likes of The Clash and The Jam.
A well received debut single "I've Got You"/"No Such Thing" (Mulligan LUNS 718) hit the streets in late 1978. This was heard and liked by the BBC's John Peel who invited the band across the Irish Sea to do a session for his famous radio program, the Peel Sessions. A permanent move to London led to extensive UK tours with the Boomtown Rats and Thin Lizzy as well as regular gigs on the circuit including the Marquee, Music Machine and Fulham Greyhound. A further single "Take Me" was released in early 1980. Although press was always positive a failure to secure long term record company support led to the band splitting up in London in late 1980.
24.The Luvin' Kind
The Luvin' Kind were one of the several Belfast bands of the mid-1960s that sounded rather like the greatest Belfast band of all, Them. They were one of five Belfast groups included on the 1966 Ember Records LP compilation Ireland's Greatest Sounds: Five Top Groups from Belfast's Maritime Club. The Luvin' Kind's "Answers Please" was the highlight of that album, with a raw and ready R&B-rock sound similar to that heard on Them's cover of "Just a Little Bit." It was also an unusual, even refreshing, selection in that its lyrics were not of the usual R&B mold, but a fairly dramatic and effective anti-nuclear bomb statement. Though the production was only up to demo standards, it outshone another track they put on the album, the routine R&B pastiche "It's a Cruel World." Both "Answers Please" and "It's a Cruel World" have been reissued on the Big Beat compilation Belfast Beat Maritime Blues, an anthology of mid-'60s tracks by Belfast groups.
25. The Checkerlads
26. The Vertebrats
The Vertebrats are a musical group formed in the twin cities of Champaign-Urbana (CU), Illinois, initially active from 1979 until 1982. They are credited with being one of the originators of a local CU DIY music scene that still exists. The Vertebrats gained notoriety due to their energetic live performances, on-stage chemistry, numerous original compositions, a fiercely loyal local fan base, and, as time went on, other bands covering their songs.
During their initial existence (1979–82) their recorded legacy was scant. Their song “Left in the Dark” was included on Greg Shaw’s Voxx Records (a subsidiary of Shaw’s Bomp! Records label) anthology called “Battle of the Garages” released in 1981. Because this anthology LP was distributed internationally, The Vertebrats gained broad exposure.
