gold star for USAHOF

585. The Surfaris

Although the Surfaris are predominantly only remembered for one song (Wipe Out), that song featured one of the most basic yet powerful guitar riffs of all time and more importantly one of the first (and still to this day one of the best) drum solos ever. Guitarists and drummers to this day still cut their teeth to that song and though they did not have an extensive album catalogue it was a solid one and they were one of the better Surf bands ever. The question is can they get in on the strength of their biggest hit.
