To continue Neopolitan's list...

Frank Zappa, too. The Mothers of Invention seriously out-ranked a lot of bands when it came to instrumental skill.

Love as well. Check out the first side of Da Capo for a serious ride of Rock, Jazz, and even one of the fastest songs of the day ("7 and 7 Is"). Forever Changes as well. Arthur Lee, Johnny Echols, and Bryan MacLean were clearly advanced, plus one-album member Tjay Cantrelli added some major flavor to the show for a while. They were THE US band to check out for a while, especially in the original line-up. They were high and above almost every Mid 60's band.

John Cale of The Velvet Underground also deserves a serious mention.

The Doors' trio of talented musicians are outstanding in their power.

Ron Elliot of The Beau Brummels, too.

There's a lot more...
