Voted "People Got To Be Free." And holy shit, was Dino Danelli an underrated drummer.

Lonely Too Long, though truthfully I only know 5 of these. Best rascals comp to seek out?

There's a shorter one that came out while they were still around, but this is the standard, I think.

Seeing two Rascals threads on New Answers, I figured one of 'em died for sure. :(

For me, they never topped "Eat Out My Heart", but I've heard almost nothing past '69.

"Eat Out My Heart" is a top-notch example of that strain of U.S. garage band music. Not too far from ? and the Mysterians.

"a girl like you"

― billstevejim, Sunday, 15 July 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago)

"I've Been Lonely too Long" - Dino Danelli is a monster.

― ρεμπετις, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 05:07 (twelve years ago)

He definitely could be a monster, but that's some subtle Motown awesomeness on that song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Low turnout for a group who were formerly the greatest rock & roll band in the world.

Can someone, if not Tim, be a trooper and copy/paste that Lenny Kaye article?

― Cunga, Saturday, 21 July 2012 02:05 (twelve years ago)

seven years pass...

Man, they really had a Creedence-level singles run up until '70.
