I would consider this article to be a stub. This is a pretty darn important garage rock band. They founded Etiquette Records, which put the Sonics on the map. They recorded a bunch of albums. Several of their cuts have been anthologized on various "Nuggets" style compilations, and their sound was a blueprint for a lot of the Grunge movement of the late 1980's and early 90's. (Especially Mudhoney.)
Their cover of "Louie Louie" did not merely inspire the Kingsmen....the Kingsmen quoted the asides ("OK let's give it to them right now!") and solo of the Wailers' version verbatim. And I am pretty sure they released more than 5 singles.
It would be nice to subdivide the member list into distinct lineups, and to list all the albums and singles, too.
