| | The Misunderstood - The Greatest Lost Band of the 1960s |
 | | The saga of the Misunderstood is one of the most unbelievable, heartbreaking, and unlikely stories in the entire history of rock. |
 | | Too little-known in their time to qualify as forgotten, the Misunderstood were, in all but riches and renown, the American Yardbirds: a panzer-garage quintet from Riverside, California, combining electric-blues lust with rave-up dementia and tight, flammable songwriting. |
 | | The Misunderstood also had heavy patronage: Future BBC DJ John Peel caught the group at a shopping mall gig in San Bernardino, California (where he was a local Top 40 jock), and was instrumental in the groups June 66 move to London, where the Misunderstood made their few official singles and slowly fell apart. |
