YRGM singlehandedly invented the Garage sound which led to Punk and Hard Rock and tons of subgenres.

alright, lets see >You Really Got Me / It's All Right >released August 1964 >The Witch / Keep a Knockin' (sonics first single) >released November 1964 >sonics debut album >released March 1965.
A whole 8 months of difference (from the debut sonics album), which is not even a year (and if I compare the dates of the recordings the difference is smaller) >YRGM singlehandedly invented the Garage sound
I guess your definition of garage sound
>>128380933
as far as I know there has not been a collective effort to define what the garage sound is. Garage rock is a style which can have different styles in itself.
The first garage rock LP is commonly considered "The Fabulous Wailers" self titled from 1959, but you can disagree and thats fine. There are also a few other garage bands before the kinks, like the Kingsmen (louie louie)

I Wanna Be Your Dog by the Stooges has to be up there, before the Stooges I can't list that many bands that were more anti-social than they were radio music-typical with loud guitars.

Yes and no. Not of all time. It'd be on the Mt. Rushmore of sixties rock singles though. That distortion really was everything, and of course the song is great too. >>128381064
It really is. A Ramones move before the Ramones were even a thing. I like the solo better on All Day too.

Those Kinks deluxe editions are the best, aren’t they? Disc 2 from the Kinda Kinks set BTFO the album itself. They had so many great singles and B sides from the 60s.
