I agree Jim.

Never knew anyone covered this, the ? version is just goofy.

This, on the other hand, is very nice...

You guys like this better than ? and the Mysterians?

Haha! Hey good to see you Brian. I've been going through all sorts of changes these past few years but still have a Ric 4001 and I still love garage rock. I'm old enough to remember most of the tunes you guys are bringing up when they were hits. Any one of you guys listen to Little Steven's Underground garage on Sirius-XM? I might be spending some time is this part of the forum.

Good to see you around these parts Bob. I listen to Sirius but in truth I channel surf a lot. I have radio controls on my steering wheel and I like to twiddle the dial while I drive.

This version stands tall...but ?'s will always be my favorite.

I first heard 96 Tears in probably 1966 when it was brand new, was a huge hit in MA. I heard it on a big console radio on AM radio and the bass was just huge, turns out Mel Schacher of Grand Funk Railroad fame played bass on the original recording and was a member.
