The Standells made number 11 in 1966 with "Dirty Water," an archetypal garage rock hit with lecherous vocal, and combination of raunchy guitar and organ. While they never again reached the Top Forty, they cut a number of strong, similar tunes in the 1966-67 era that have belated been recognized as '60s punk classics.
