Why this album mattered
"Psychotic Reaction" is the debut single by the American garage rock band Count Five, released in June 1966 on their debut studio album of the same name. Background "Psychotic Reaction" was born out of an instrumental that Count Five played for six months before their manager Sol Ellner, Kenn Ellner's father, suggested that rhythm guitarist John "Sean" Byrne write lyrics for it. Psychotic Reaction!" Byrne later stated, "That was the missing punch-line for the song". It reached #122 and charted for 6 weeks. Major singles from the album include "Psychotic Reaction".
