? and the Mysterians, formed in 1962 in Michigan, are pioneers of garage rock, best known for their 1966 chart-topping hit "96 Tears." Comprising children of Mexican migrant workers, their music blends raw energy with distinctive organ riffs, influencing the proto-punk movement. Their enigmatic frontman, Question Mark (Rudy Martínez), adds a unique charisma to their sound. Despite being labeled a one-hit wonder, their impact on rock history is profound, with "96 Tears" ranking #213 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
