This is closer to my answer. Too far out for the mainstream of the day - intense!
Also I might think about The Pretty Things, who had a lot of great 60's sides and were a great influence on many musicians, but sadly get looked over. Their 1967 album slightly broke the string of greatness, but they recovered. More into the Psych Beat years, but their early R&B Stones Style was cool!
On a Metro Detroit look, there's Bob Seger and the Last Heard and the Bob Seger System. To music snobs, his 70's and 80's hits damn him in their eyes, but I always loved those early Detroit Beat sounds of the 60's to 1971's great single "Looking Back".
Take your pick!
