If you're under 55 then I can understand you might not know all their hits. I'm 65 and every afternoon when I got home from school I would watch 'Where the Action is'. It was a music show put on by Dick Clark and Paul Revere & the Raiders were the host. It was on TV a couple of years when I was in high school and the band were at their peak. So all their hits got played on their show, just like MTV did 20 years later for other bands.

Here's a link to a website that has videos of the band performing ten of their hits, just scroll down the page. Paul Revere & the Raiders' Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits | Billboard

There's seven songs that should of been recognized by any Raiders fan, "Kicks, Good Thing, Him or Me, Hungry, Just Like Me, Let Me and Indian Reservation" were all big radio hits when I was growing up. I considered them on the heavy side, sort of like Steppenwolf, so they were one of my favorites.
