replies: text: As much as I hate these kinds of list pages, I don't think they're going to disappear anytime soon. I think we just need to be vigilant about the redlinks and maybe trim down the "revival" list. freshacconcispeaktome 11:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Size of list 

message: Well, I reckon, the band from 1979 to now need to be divided into 1979 - 1999 and 2000 to now, cos there are too many bands included! --Freiheitsgedanke (talk) 02:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splittin Up The Revival List 

message: It would be really useful and interesting if this list was split up by geographical area - say, by US state or city.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:45, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It occurs to me that what we really need here is a sortable table - with columns for name, place of origin, and perhaps sources.  A sortable table would mean that if readers wanted to see, say, bands from California, it could be ordered by state without having to scroll down the whole list.  We could add a column for sources, which would help identify which of the bands are sufficiently notable to have their own article - I suspect that not all are.  There would be a fair amount of work in creating a table like that, but I might be able to give it some time at some point, if other stuff doesn't get in the way.

thread_title:  Geography 

message: Hello, been a while I wasn't around and as far as I see this list been improved, thanks all! I have somethings to mention though. Because what we try to do here is to reflect the accurate information, I think adding UK bands in this list won't keep up with our standards. By default, there is no 60s UK garage rock. If we talk about the wild sound of the 60s UK bands, then it is freakbeat, ain't it? We shall try not to fill this list with freakbeat bands, what say you?

thread_title:  The term "garage rock" 

message: I noticed that the criteria for inclusion is surviving recordings - I assume vinyl records - and an article here at Wikipedia. I know of a few bands that have recordings from that time period, but have no article here. Two of them had their single release included on American Bandstand back in the day. I know this would make for a very large list, but what thoughts does anyone have as to including groups that have NO article here, but do have recordings? 
Also, I have a site up - boonerock.net - that covers the bands in the small geographic area of Boone County, Iowa for what it's worth. It might be useful for some research at this larger topic as I cover some of the more general info from this time period (roughly 1961 - 78).
Also, the sheer scope of this genre, as mentioned elsewhere, is indeed truly remarkable. That time in history will most likely not be repeated again unless, of course, there is another event like the British Invasion that sparks the interest of a large set of folks with an inexpensive door open to their participation. Thanks to those who have worked on this article so far. I appreciate your efforts.THX1136 (talk) 02:26, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
