NO , i DON'T MEAN THEY WERE APING DYLAN'S MUSICAL STYLE ON MOST OF THEIR RECORDS , BUT , RONNIE WEISS (MOUSE) , NINE TIMES OUT OF NINE , STILL HAD THAT DYLANESQUE INFLECTION IN HIS VOCALS.....AT LEAST , UNTIL , AS I SAY , THEY CUT THE BALLSY EARLY HARD ROCKER "WICKER VINE" , AND CONTINUED RECORDING , SPORADICALLY , AT LEAST INTO THE MID - LATE 70'S.

Judging from the one Mouse & the Traps compilation I own, they got off the Dylan jag fairly early. After "Public Execution," just about everything else they did sounds like your typical 1960s garage band. (Which isn't a knock, by the way - I like their stuff a lot. I just never thought that their sole purpose was to emulate Dylan.)
 
John Battles said:

Like Billy Miller said , I like select Dylan soundalikes more than the man himself - (like) Mouse and The Traps' entire back catalogue (Except Wicker Vine , And I Believe Her , The Bottom LINE AND A FEW OTHERS.).

To be truthful, I wouldn't want him to.

Someone may argue that Dylan never wrote a song quite as poppy or fun as Sunshine Superman.

Dylan, for damn sure.

He had a rock & roll/blues edge that Donovan did not possess.

"The Letter," the Box Tops
"Bluebirds Over The Mountain," Ersel Hickey
"I Want Some More," Chan Romero
"The Hunch," Mad Mike & the Maniacs
"Pendleton Man," Royal Pendletons
"Life Don't Mean Nothin'," Michael & the Messengers
"Dang Me," Roger Miller

(NOTE: most of these I looked up on my iPod!)

Blues Magoos - "Albert Common is Dead", from their second and best LP , "Electric Comic Book" , which also contained the Thirtysomething second opus , "Intermission". I used to know a guy whose teen band played it in the 60's , when they'd take a break.....

"If critics bought records , we'd be HUGE !" John Doe , X.

(Note: I have to buy the majority of the records , CDs and DVDs I review , but , in his case , Doe was right. John. ).

"Man , I played , one time with this band called Germs. They busted bottles and glass and shit on stage ! I personally took a broom and swept that shit UP ! Then , I did "Orange Skies" , and got down to some MUSIC !"  Arthur Lee (As told to John Battles.).

"We did this show at The Coconut Grove , with The  Buffalo Springfield and some other bands , but ,  The Beatles were in the audience , The Mamas and The Papas , and The Monkees were there , too. Davey Jones came up to me , and said "How'd you get so TALL?". I WAS 6 FOOT 3 (MY GOD , HE'S AT LEAST 6'6" , NOW.) , and he was pusing 3' 8" , at the time , and he's going "How'd you get so TALL?!!".  Dave Aguilar , The Chocolate Watchband (As told to John Battles.)

If you can find it , Screamin' Jay later put out a great album on Phillips , in '69 or '70 , called "What That Is" , produced by Milan Melvin , who did Blue Cheer's third album. It hearkens back to the Hard R'n'B sounds of The 50's , with great (Then) contemporary mixing tricks.

He had another one on Phillips before it , alternately known as "Because is In Your Mind" , "Armpit Rubber" , or just to confuse things further , "Screamin' Jay Hawkins" .  The crazy cool cover painting (  WHICH IS STILL DISPLAYED AT THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO FROM TIME TO TIME.) is largely the reason for the confusion.....OF THE TWO , THOUGH , I THINK "WHAT THAT IS" IS THE BETTER LP , BUT BOTH ALBUMS WERE RE-RELEASED TOGETHER ON LP , CASSETTE , AND , POSSIBLY CD , 20 - ODD YEARS AGO ON EDSEL. Yes , i know , it's time to do it again.  iT COULD BE , THERE ARE ISSUES WITH HIS ESTATE. I USED TO SEE SCREAMIN' JAY REISSUES ALMOST ALL THE TIME WHEN HE WAS LIVING ,  AND , HE MAINTAINED , UNLIKE MOST OF HIS PEERS , THAT HE DID GET ROYALTIES.

 (The Rats wasnt '63 , though a youtube clip claims it is, but The Kingsmen's cut of Louie Louie in 63)  I guess Screamin' Jay Hawkins is tickin a few boxes with some earlier stuff... '56 & '57...

Hell , Yeah ! The Friggs were great. Only saw 'em once. They came back later , opening for The Selecter. I was MANY years over the Two - Tone thing , and figured their set would get cut short.
 
G. Wood said:

The Friggs, from NY, I guess. Or Palmyra Delran's band. They/she are Hideout members, but not very active, I think.

FUN - NEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!  : )

One, and the world keeps on revolving around them.

Well said , but even the best of leaders can get drunk with power , and the soldiers will revolt.

G. Wood said:

Is it the instrument, or the role, that creates the ego, or is it the other way around? It's always best to have one creative leader and a few good soldiers.

They'll probably be a footnote at best (I have'nt seen the book.) , but , Sam Gopal and The Rockin' Vicars rate a mention , too. Lemmy's days as a Hendrix Roadie , AND his brief stint with The Damned (As "The Doomed") might have some amusing anecdotes , as well. Hawkwind were definitely Lemmy's gateway drug to Motorhead , but , reportedly , he's renounced their one hit , "Silver Machine" (Which was just as uncommercial as anything else the band did in their prime.). Funny, last time I saw Motorhead , it was playing on the loudspeakers before they went on. 

That would be really cool , if you could. They need all the help they can get.

"John , I'm Only Dancing" - David Bowie.     Thanks to Chris Morris.

That's interesting. I love me some local boys , Shadows of Knight , but , I WAS GLAD TO LEARN THAT Them's original eclipsed it iN some markets . Like I say , we had a pretty hip Oldies station in Dallas in The 80's , when I lived there , but , I heard "You're Gonna Miss Me" a total of once , and this WAS in Texas.
 
Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

A station in LA during the 80s played a lot of the garage hits as well as British hits that sounded "garagy" but no early Pink Floyd unfortuanately.  Didn't play Thirteenth Floor Elevators either...the weird thing is...they didn't play Shadows of Knight either.  The station worked off of local charts as opposed to Billboard so if they played GLORIA, it was by Them because it topped there locally.

I've tried that but in the 2000s the labels have all changed.  Actully what's been helping me remember stuff is Kopper's year in review on his Wayback Machine shows from years ago.  He has all the lists up.
 
John White said:

It would be alot easier to wiki labels you like and look at their releases. For example "Goner", that's the first one I would start with. 

Been a few weeks since i've posted here so this will be a double post.  First on December 22nd CJAM held their third annual Joe Strummer Day Marathon, I did a program focusing on his Pre-Clash band The 101ers.
