Removed material in Garage rock article
Thank you for your interest in the Garage rock article. However, I re-instated the pieces you removed, because we don't want to be too quick impose stylistic "purity tests" on hits by artists who have been classified as garage by AllMusic and other places (not to mention Nuggets). 60s garage was, after all, a diverse form, encompassing not only raw blues-based influences, but also psych, folk, and pop (and soul, which often goes unmentioned). Keep in mind that the Height of success and airplay section has been in the article for a much longer time than so much else there——it is the product of efforts by a lot of editors over the last fifteen years, so we need to be cognizant of that. I do agree with you that the songs by the Beau Brummels and Strawberry Alarm Clock do not necessarily serve as the best exemplars of the form, but I'd like to achieve a little more consensus before those mentions get taken out. Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs songs are more raw and "pure to the form", so they should most certainly be retained. Garagepunk66 (talk) 08:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
