Definitely seconded on the Sonics. If old school garage rock sounds dated to you, you can still dig the Sonics. They're basically the point at which garage rock becomes punk, but they were around well over a decade before punk (I think their debut came out a year or so after the Rolling Stones' first album.) Even today they're still more intense than most punk bands who play much faster. And that distortion is perfect. They used to take ice picks to their amps just to make them sound more ****ed up. Yeah I know the Kinks started that, but the Sonics took it even farther.
