As Cave Boy on this list (some of you who were around for the NY garage
bands of the mid 80s might get that, for the rest of you, I guess it's
another clique thing. sorry) I have to argue that, the Killer is usually
assumed to be Sgt. Pepper, but I'd lay the blame on Hendrix and Led
Zepplin. Once the fashion became to get groovy feedback sounds and play
blues licks REALLY FAST during a guitar solo, playing the melody to Bad To
Me through a cheap fuzzbox didn't seem cool anymore. Sort of ironic since
Zepplin grew out of the Yardbirds, who were Garage Gods.
