Godfathers Of Punk Rock
I just heard a Standells record the other day. It was "Dirty Water," or course. That was their only hit. Went to #11 in 1966. They were one of the top L.A. garage rock bands then, and in 1999 they reformed and are still touring. Rock and roll never forgets.
They were in a number of movies and TV shows, but my favorite appearance by far is when they were on The Munsters:

Why does little Eddie recognize the Standells when they start playing the Beatles' signature tune?
Eddie is either a hip kid who recognized the classic garage rock sound of the Standells or he read their name on the drum kit.
