So what's the best one?

They're all great , I don't think you can go wrong....I love that song "Listen Girl" - "I'll shoot YEW in tha HEAD ! You better listen, girl !"...

I really enjoy 'She'll Hurt You in the End", which includes two of my personal favorites- the Actioneers and Chevrons V

Good to know because I had no clue how many there were.

There's 15 of them.  The serial number on the spine points out which volume it is i.e. TS-01 or TS-15.

So, how many Teenage Shutdown volumes are there, they dont even have #s. Anybody got a list?

I really love You Treated Me Bad. It's got The JuJus, Plagues, the Quest's, Little John and the Sherwoods, and the Sound Extraction. Those are just the main rockers. The whole comp is perfect I think.

Howlin' for My Darling and I'm a No-Count are my favorites. (: OH, and Move It has some good tracks too!

#9 Teen Jangler Blowout featuring the incredible "I'll Be In" by the Answer!

I'd say start with volume 10 which features Paul Bearer and the Hearsemen on the cover and then volume 1.

I think #10 is my favorite single garage comp of all-time.

That's pretty cool! Great minds must think alike heh heh..

There's a few volumes that focus on slower, more moody and folky punk rock and such, which are cool in their own right, but the 3 volumes mentioned focus mostly on just flat out, up-tempo, killer 60s garage r&r...

Where did you find that list you mentioned?

While trying to find some answers to Kopper's question about a connection between Little Steven and the garage punk hideout, I came across a top 100 list of essentials by Tim Warren of Crypt and of all the Teenage Shutdown albums, the only ones on the list were the ones I mentioned and the last one mentioned "I'm A No Count" (that's volume 4, by the way). How weird is that? The others are good too but those three are probably the best. "You Better Get A Move On" (vol 7) and "HOwlin' For My Darlin" (vol 14) are pretty great as well.

'I'm A No Count' is great!

The tracks by Jolly Green Jiants, The Heard, Outcasts, Chob and Cave Men are personal favourites. Really fine compilation..

My Favs are

No Tease and I'm Down Today.

Thanks for the tip! Will pursue those.
