Some other early rockers that seem too angry or aggressive or whatever for their time . . .

"Louie Louie" by the Sonics (recorded about 1965, sounds like early Black Flag!)

"Who Do You Love" by Ronnie Hawkins (teenage Robbie Robertson lead guitar -- a nutty sexy maniac deathtrip record.)

Just about everything Link Wray did out in the shed behind his house ("Rumble", "The Ripper", "Chicken Run" ad infinitum!)

"Miserlou" by Dick Dale -- that tune best known from the beginning of "Pulp Fiction" is still one of the greatest rock guitar numbers ever. I've seen this guy live, and he's like fuckin Jimi Hendrix (in fact I'm sure he was a big influence on Jimi -- both played left handed & upside-down -- also Dale was notorious for blowing up many amps with his insane volume and distortion requirements. I'm sure Jimi knew all about that guy.)
