  • great song! love this band!

  • @ MINNECONJU : This time I totally agree with you !

  • We saw the Mysterians play last night in downtown Bay City, MI (where they are from). It was a small pub. Absolutely incredible. They are so very very talented.

  • alright...

  • These Old Guys are still rattling around their hometown area of Bay City, MI. "?" suffered a devastating fire,,,,,lost everything including his beloved Yorkshire terriers . "96 tears" was their biggest claim to fame. Check it out. It was an Icon way back before we even knew what an "icon" was!! :)~

  • @travelsam4 96 Tears is their ONLY claim to fame. I think we've become a little too liberal with this "icon" term. Everyone and their mother seems to get christened an "icon" at some point. I love the song and they're a solid touring band, but these guys haven't written anything (literally) in over 30 yrs. They only released two albums back in the late 60s of mostly covers and filler. Were it not for "96 Tears" they wouldn't have a career. One Hit Wonder is more fitting

  • @ritter89 Yeah,,,perhaps "Icon" is a bit strong,,,,but back in the day, the song was so far ahead of it's time,,,so RAD as stated elsewhere on this page,,,that it STILL gets air time to THIS DAY!! That oughta' count for something. Especially from a band, that as you correctly observed, never amounted to much on a National level.

  • @ritter89 You're right about this; but I think it's because so many younger people, who weren't exposed to this music before, hear it for the first time and realize that even 'covers' and 'fillers' from these older bands is STILL better than the garbage palmed off on audiences as 'hits' today. Just like what were 'B' movies and 2nd-rate TV series in our parents' days look like works of art when compared to modern media productions!

  • RAD SONG!!!!

  • what happened to these guys and this band, they are awesome

  • i see theyre still going , come to the UK guys

  • excellent quality, wow. these guys had all the elements to be one of the greatest garage bands to hit the scene

    thanx for posting

  • Thanks,and totally agreed. I can only imagine the atmosphere in those underground smoky pubs where people gathered to hear them play live.

  • @PaleRider81 I wish I was there!!

  • @muziqmonster they made it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... ?

    :)

  • Greatest garage band in the world. <3

  • It's hard to find this kind or rare ones
