In 1966, a California band calling itself the Music Machine, cracked the top twenty with a truly unique sound. The song "Talk Talk" featured fuzz-box guitar leads and a throaty vocal that stood out from the other songs on the radio. The band had a second, lesser hit a year later but faded from the limelight, disbanding in 1969. Today the band and song are considered pioneers in proto punk.... I agree, and Talk Talk is one of my favorite forgotten oldies.
