The Standells made number 11 in 1966 with "Dirty Water," an archetypal garage rock hit
with its Stones-ish riff, lecherous vocal, and combination of raunchy guitar and organ.
While they never again reached the Top 40, they cut a number of strong, similar tunes in the 1966-1967 era
that have belatedly been recognized as '60s punk classics. "Garage rock" may not have been
a really accurate term for them in the first place, as the production on their best material
was full and polished, with some imaginative touches of period psychedelia and pop

Considerably toughening their image, the group churned out four albums in 1966 and 1967,
as well as appearing in (and contributing the theme song to) the psychedelic exploitation movie Riot on Sunset Strip.
Cobb, in addition to writing "Dirty Water," also penned their other most enduring singles,
including "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White," "Why Pick on Me," and "Try It"
(the last of which was widely banned for its suggestive delivery).
The group did write some decent material of their own, such as the tense "Riot on Sunset Strip"
and the psychedelic "All Fall Down," which bears an interesting similarity to some of Pink Floyd's early work.
This was the group's strongest album, although you're always better off with a greatest hits collection.
"There Is a Storm Comin'" and "Pride and Devotion" are a couple of strong numbers
that don't make it onto compilations, and "Rari, " the moody B-side of "Dirty Water, "
tis one of their best little-known tracks...(AllMusic)
