The most underrated of the popular American bands of the 60s. Incredibly good discography.

Search and Nearness [Atlantic, 1970]
Talk about acid casualties--these guys are victims of psychedelica even if they never touched the stuff. But those who ignore the atrocious title and listen to the songs are in for a surprise, because this is no Freedom Suite. In fact, it may be their most consistent regular-release LP--only one waste cut per side. If the Rascals are spouting universalist truisms, so is every other soul band these days--usually without coming up with anything as original or unpretentious as the warmly tongue-in-cheek "Right On." The only problem is that that's the high point--no new classics for Aretha to cover. Special surprise: Dino Danelli's modal jazz instrumental "Name." B+

Yeah, it seems like Zoomers aren't hip to The Young Rascals, or Classics IV, even though I'm sure their great grandparents have all of the albums.
Both are GOAT, though!

Yeah. Their late 60s Greatest Hits is one of the most consistently great compilations of all time.

You listening to their early stuff? Because they changed musical styles after a few years and it was practically like they were a different band.

Is their version of Good Lovin' considered Proto-Thrash?
Because that's a good song to mosh to.

I think there's a very consistent progression from the early stuff to the later stuff, at least up to a point. When everyone started quitting near the end and the band was just Felix and session guys and he was doing jazz-funk albums, then yeah they were literally a different band.
