Not Your Parent's Garage Rock

Little Steven's Underground Garage Radio Show and Sirius' Garage Rock station are redefining your idea of Garage Rock. According to these stations, not all of the genre are bands like the Kingsmen playing 2 minute rock sounds with muddy sound. Is Neil Young's Living With War garage rock? How about the girl group sound of the 60's? J.Geils Band? Both of these shows add the power pop of the Raspberries and Cheap Trick to their playlists. But what garage rock is to them is anything that is catchy and rock and roll pure. That's all good for me. But in reality what I like best about these shows and stations are that they're just plain fun to listen to. And that's in the spirit of old time rock 'n' roll. No matter how you define it.
