I should have said 3/4ths of the so-called Million Dollar Quartet (And I only say that because there's no evidence that Johnny Cash was involved
in the recordings , themselves , just the famous group picture....Cash once claimed he played a little rhythm guitar , but , that was it.).

Ouch. I was fortunate enough to have seen 2/3rds of the so-called "Million Dollar Quartet", not gloating , but I saw Jerry Lee 6 times , Carl 3 times , Johnny twice , and , no , I'll never stop regretting that I never saw Elvis. Even in decline , he was a singing motherfucker.
Carl , at least , got it with Punk , to some degree . He said , "I heard some songs by The Sex Pistols , and they've got that 50's beat.". He was right , of course. It was all just Heavy Cochran , Punk was . Did'nt see the original Sweet or Slade , wish I had. Still have yet to see The Sonics. Did'nt go to Las Vegas Grind , because Screaming Lord Sutch kicked it before he was supposed to have played. There's a lot of shows in particular I had to miss , and bands or artists I COULD HAVE SEEN , WERE IT NOT FOR LOGISTICS....But , we can all say that , I guess.

I thought it was the punk thing to do, support the punk bands when they come to town, figuring Carl would be coming back at some point. I was talking to the singer of the Rebels that night, and he rightfully gave me shit for not going to see Carl Perkins!
Carl never came back to London and i never did get to see him.

Last week I had every intention of going to see the fabulous Jim Jones Revue again and had got it into my head that they were playing on the 11th. I called the club on the day to make sure there were tickets still available only to find that they played two days earlier! This got me thinking about bands that I'd missed over the years that were playing in my town but for one reason or another never got to see. The most well known I can think of was missing Nirvana when they toured with Mudhoney around the time of 'Bleach'. Every intention of going but I think it was raining or something so just didn't bother!
So...who didn't you see..and why?

ATOMIC SUPLEX! Loved the world over even if they destroy the local music club. Nuff' said.

Someone already mentioned The Creeping Ivies. That's a great one. For garage in the UK, check out Dirty Water Records. Thee Vicars, MFC Chicken, etc.

Not really garage but Duane Eddy did some cool fuzz guitar Dylan covers on his Duane Does Dylan album. Couldn't find anything on YouTube but here's a short mp3 sample of "All I Really Want To Do".

I think we made pretty good use of some boss scenes from The Mini-Skirt Mob.

My friend and I made a video for The Hydeouts, we were very pleased with the final result...loosely based off the 1974 movie...The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but all original footage we shot. Check it!

Won't claim it's anyone's "favorite," but it's garage-y and we had a lotta fun making it... and it's seasonal!

Hey -- thanks to all the garagepunkers on here for keeping this discussion alive. I still can't get past X and Exene C -- my all-time fave female singer in one of my most-loved bands. Of course, I've also listed The Divinyls previously. Insane live -- downright dangerous to be in the front of the audience when they came on in their heydey. I mean, you may have been in danger of getting your mind blown.
That said, I can't get past The Jackets right now. I just love Jackie and what she brings to her audience. I wish I could see them live, but a trip to Europa at the moment just ain't in the stars for me.
Closer to Stateside, check out the Handcuffs from Chicago if you like some power pop and good guitar noise. I'd list more but my brain is not working due to instant-only coffee causing a misfiring of my neurons today.

You know, I'd always dismissed the Inca Babies as being a Birthday Party rip-off after seeing them support Johnny Thunders at the Hacienda in Manchester back in the 80's and so never got any of their records. However, I picked up a copy of the Rumble LP at a record fair the other week, and despite the obvious influence, it's very good. Just sayin'.

It's been brought to my attention that , while we've had some interesting ongoing discussions about The Stones , The Who seldom if ever comes up here...
If anyone wants to talk about The Who's (vast) influence on what we now call Garage Punk, OR , JUST ON YOU , PERSONALLY, the floor is open. Sure, I was a wee small lad when they actually broke, but it's important (though painfully obvious) to note that the early Who , like The Pretty Things or The Small Faces , were largely an underground group in the states that a select number of Garage bands drew inspiration from , before the king - size hit , "I Can See For Miles" and the conquest of Monterrey Pop in '67.....
Two things you're free to take with a grain of salt : Kenny Jones. He killed. Live , at least. He did'nt try to emulate Moon . Yet , he has a bad rap for NOT trying. Only Zak Starkey has pulled that particular stunt off....
And "Call Me Lightning" , one of their best R'N'R songs. I've only heard three bands cover it : The (Later ) Flamin' Groovies , Los Johnny Jets (As "Dam Dam" ) and Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Anyone heard any other versions?
