I don't post a whole lot but enjoy reading many topics here. I love 60's garage and for many years have gathered thousands of tunes to enjoy. I'm not a record collector anymore and haven't been for many many years. I played in bands for the better part of 30 years.
Something that I've wondered about for many years is what do you think was the attraction to many 60's garage bands to use the "signature" chord progression similar to the Kink's "Tired Of Waiting For You" in their original compositions? Another way to describe it is that if an original 60's composition had the use and key of the chord for A, then dropping to the chord G, and repeating the same progression, what was the huge interest in this chord progression? It seems to be one that was copied by a HUGE amount of garage groups.
Also as an observation, it generally was a chord progression not generally used by many famous groups, on big hits, except for the Kinks and maybe a few others.
I'm curious to know and hear your opinions on why so many garage groups gravitated to this style of musical songwriting.
Happy Saturday!
