Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators... come on now, You're Gonna Miss Me, Roller Coaster, Tried to Hide etc. etc...

I'll also agree with the Mummies- Never Been Caught
Black Lips- Let it Bloom
The Stooges-Fun House

Well, I'm not laughing at you at all! More like laughing with you! I think you've now completed my last post! The first two long players by The Shadows of Knight - Gloria (1966) + Back Door Men (1967) on Dunwich are definitely top contenders for best garage album (with songs like 'I got my mojo workin', 'Light Bulb Blues', 'I Just Want To Make Love To You' and of course their version of 'Gloria' by Them) 'I’m Gonna Make You Mine' (on Back Door Men) is probably one of thee GREATEST garage tracks of all time!

Laugh all ya want, but the Shadows of Knight's 'Gloria' is pretty much my fave....

Can't really argue with Gra Fiend.
#1 The Sonics - Boom (****) 4 star work of genius
Some very honorable mentions must go to:
The Seeds - Seeds (1st LP) & Web of Sound
The Music Machine - Turn On The Music Machine (although not all cuts are brilliant or original) + Bonniwell's Music Machine (Eagle never hunts the fly,Double Yellow Line,etc.--brilliant!)
The Remains - The Remains 1966 (****) you have to give this record 4 stars!!
The Count V - Psychotic Reaction (although in my opinion about 50% of the LP is truly brilliant)
The Electric Prunes - I had too much to dream last night
The Outsiders (Dutch) - The Outsiders (first LP) drummer blows my fucking mind!
The Monks - Black Monk Time (I would have a hard time arguing that this record doesn't deserve the #1 position)
Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era 1972 (but it's a comp.)
Of course I assume we are talking about the golden age garage albums (1965-1968)? This discussion would be meaningless otherwise (in my opinion). And we are talking about full LP's, right? I think that is important and really narrows down the field. So many bands recorded genius singles/songs. I could type all night about one-off songs. A full LP is the way to find the best of the best. Thanks for asking.
Gringo.

I find it hard to ignore the self titled Supercharger LP, and Sonics Boom and Never Been Caught are also up there for me.

I guess it really depends on what mood I'm in.

THE SONICS - BOOM - No contest

However you may also want to list:
BACK FROM THE GRAVE Pick your own fav they are all fantastic - way more Garage punk than the Nuggets or Pebbles series
THE BEST OF PEBBLES Vol1 - GET PRIMITIVE - Love all three volumes but Vol1 is the cream of the garage from the pebbles series (The only one which is as close to BFTG).
GARAGE PUNK UNKNOWNS BOX SET- Yeah it's a box set but each individual album is a killer
TEENAGE SHUTDOWN - Jump Jive and Harmonize - Vol1 is still my fav of the series.
THE MUMMIES - Never Been Caught - They changed the scene and set the standard -God like album (yeah I know it's their second album but I prefer it to the first one and I'm refering to the band here)
SONGS WE TAUGHT THE FUZZTONES - Bit cheating as it's two albums - both amazing

All the above should be voted for

Reatards Teenage Hate

The Nuggets box set (Volume 1, Rhino Records) is magical, but is IS 4 CDs, thus way too vast to be considered an "album."

So I'll vote for Sam the Sham & The Pharoahs' Their Second Album, the one with "Ju Ju Hand" and great covers of R&B and blues tunes including slow and greasy classics "Magic Touch" and "The Gypsy." Most the tunes had themes of magic, withcraft and voodoo. And it had a great cover (later used for at least one greatest hits compilation) that showed the band gathered around a cauldron with dry-ice smoke and a stuffed baby alligator.

What's the best Garage album? Come and vote or recommend albums you think should be on the list: The best Garage album is...

Yeah, I noticed that as well. A few of us are trying to steer these folks in the right direction. I even commented on this phenomenon on my podcast a couple of episodes back. I can imagine that quite a few people Google garage punk, though. I did it just now and this is what I get: 1. GaragePunk Podcast 2. Garagepunk.com Forums (garagepunk.com/forums/) 3. Garage Punk at Wikipedia 4. Garage Rock at Wikipedia 5. The GaragePunk Hideout (!) .....Well, if I didn't know better and had to take a pick The GaragePunk Hideout sounds pretty fucking cool! Gonna check that shit out....but on the other hand, a podcast is music, right? Garage Punk music or Garage Punk Hideout? Hmmm.....I'm torn! It could also be that the term 'Podcast' is not as well known as we think... --Professor Gringo

It blows my mind how many people are joining the Hideout that have never heard the GaragePunk Podcast. I set this network up for fans of the website and the podcasts that we produce (and have produced for almost three years now), yet day after day after day we get people signing up here who answer the "Favorite GaragePunk Podcast" question in their profiles with question marks or "what's a podcast?" or some such confusion. So if you guys aren't finding the Hideout via the main site (GaragePunk.com obviously), then how the hell are you finding us? I would seriously really like to know...

What's a Rock Band game?

Not sure if this is old news (even news), but I was playin' Rock Band at my brother's the other day and noticed that holy shit, the Konks song "29 Fingers" was on the game! Kinda cool considerin' most of the tunes on that game can suck...now if some one would put out a Sonics Rock Band game...at least I can dream

Name your top 3 gigs you have attended...either local, or international acts...in the punk/new wave/garage genre.

I'm using an Ampeg Scrambler reissue. It's the only fuzz that I've found that can keep the lows going for bass ('75 P-Bass through a Sunn Sonara). Fat,fat sound that doesn't wash out!

Any other bass players getting awesome fuzz?

Ping lets you check off the sites that you want updated (I post to Twitter, Plurk, Facebook and my personal Myspace page), and you can choose micro-blog or update for any post. Actually, Twitter and Plurk are considered "updates" instead of micro-blogs. At least with my set-up. It took a couple tries to get it right. Then I installed the Ping.fm widget for the iGoogle page, and post from there!

Combine that widget and the "BeTwittered" widget on iGoogle and yer set!

So you figured out how to post to both thru Ping.fm? How d'ya do it?

Actually, I like Plurk better! Even though I post pretty much the same exact nonsense on both, thanks to Ping.fm.
