BLUES MAGOOS
RALPH, GEOFF, RONNIE, MIKE, PEPPY
Although they were really more a blues-rock band with a garage band's approach and intentions, the Bronx-based Blues Magoos emerged as an East Coast answer to the then-emerging San Francisco flower power psychedelic scene with the iconic single "(We Ain't) Got Nothing Yet" in 1966.

The Blues Magoos sound less like psychedelic visionaries than a solid garage band with a taste for the blues on their debut album, Psychedelic Lollipop, though the lysergic reference of the title certainly put them ahead of the curve in 1966, when LSD was still obscure enough to be legal in much of the United States. The album leads off with the group's first and only major hit single, "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet," and unlike most albums released by one-hit wonders of the mid-'60s, the single isn't the most exciting song here. That honor goes to the Magoos' cover of J.D.
