Broad in the same sense that indie doesn't necessarily define one particular sound or style. Garage was used as not-as-popular, or not-as-mainstream as bands that were on top of the charts, and had sell out concert. There is a list of names they used to indicate something other than just mainstream: Prat Rock, Garage Rock, Underground, Experimental, Punk, College, Alternative/Alt, indie etc. Sometimes a band might have one foot in mainstream and the other foot in obscurity, like one hit wonders. Sometimes a genre like Punk could include both pop bands and underground bands.

I don't where you got that from. I said Garage was more that just Rockabilly. I didn't say anything about the Ramones.

I said that they were bands that weren't big as the "British Invasion" bands, I didn't say they only came from Britain. Honestly, I don't know why I bother sometimes.

Got Live if You Like It

They say that a band usually speeds up the tempo when they play live, faster that whats on an album. The Rolling Stones are no exemption. They had a very fast and energetic sound when they played live. "Got Live if You Like It" is good proof. I am not saying their sound is Punk, but they show they had some element that shows up in Punk.
