18 RIPPING 1960S ROCK & ROLL BANDS THAT PERFORMED ON TV SITCOMS AND DRAMAS
SEE GARAGE AND PSYCHEDELIC ACTS LIKE THE SEEDS, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD AND, ER, OPIE TAYLOR ROCK ON YOUR FAVORITE SERIES.



The worlds of pop music and television have always crossed over with each other. The Supremes played nuns on Tarzan. Suzi Quatro played Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days. Vicki Lawrence had a number one hit. The year 1965 was the golden age of pop on TV, with musical showcases such as Hullabaloo, Shindig! and Shivaree filling the network lineups.

But in the heyday of Beatlemania and the British Invasion, rock & roll acts did not need American Bandstand as an excuse to invade your television set. A bunch of garage and psychedelic groups popped up in sitcoms in the 1960s. If a band was based in Los Angeles and hot in the clubs, odds are it was booked on a show like The Beverly Hillbillies. Some were cult acts, some remain obscurities, others scored hits. (A few of them are fictional.)

This is not a complete list, rather a big bunch of our favorite rock & roll band cameos. How many do you remember?
