Then they're indeed forgoteen Most of those are garage bands that made awesome debut album and then mysteriously gone.

Okay, we have a thread like this in the 70s forum and I was thinking maybe we should have one here. I've found some interesting bands on that thread so let's try one from the sixties. I was pretty much a kid in the sixties so I don't remember and know as much about it as I do about the other decades following. I'm just hoping to pick up on some great bands I might have missed.

Yes, The Barbarians featured a one-armed drummer, Victor "Moulty" Moulton who had a prosthetic hook on his left arm, having at age 14 lost part of his left arm in an explosion. Moulty was able to play drums using the prosthesis to hold a drum stick. They had a minor hit called, "Moulty" and an even bigger follow in 1965 up called, "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?" which is worth seeking out.

The Spoonful recorded some wonderful stuff besides their hits:
Full Measure
Butchie's Tune
Younger Generation
Younger Girl
Money
Jug Band Music

Just to name a few.
