My band (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) has had our song nominated as "Coolest Song Of The Year" on Little Steven's Underground Garage.

It's a song first heard here on "Noises From The Hideout" Garage Punk Records Vol. 6. (Thanks Kopper!)

There are 50 songs nominated, and we are up against some mainstream, non Garage artists, like Aerosmith (?) Bruce Springsteen, Joe Walsh ( Really??!!) Michael De Barres, Jack White (boo!) The Beach Boys, Tom Jones (?) & DR John (?)...Seriously!!!

 So I'm asking for your help to make your voices heard. My band is not a Garage purist band in the traditional sense, but we are an independent, underground band with deep roots in the Garage Community, and we are a Garage Punk Hideout band.

 Kopper started the Hideout Compilation series as a direct response to the Coolest Song In The world compilation series. How "Cool" would it be if one of Kopper's bands actually won the top position?

 So please help show your support for an underdog and let it be known that Classic Rock Dinosaur bands have nothing to do with Underground Garage. (no offense to any of the artists above, they just belong somewhere else)

Tell the guys in Prima Donna I said "Hi":)

BTW, I also liked the Red Kross song too. I've heard of that band for several years, but I just never got around to checking them out.

As for Prima Donna, that song is all right, but I still like "Feral Children" better, along with "Sociopath," "Miss Avenue," and the title track.

I voted for Prima Donna that year, although I was really hoping "Feral Children" would be named a "Coolest Song" during that year.

*smack!* Ouch! (to Little Steven)

Tho' I do have to say that Suzi Chunk - Look Back And Laugh grew on me, a li'l bit of the old soul.

Well, those are the ten coolest songs according to Little Steven. Of course they're cheesy and boring. What did you expect?

So many cheesy and boring songs on the winners-list!! 
Someone out there with a different opinion?
what do you think of this final outcome?

 1: The Jellybricks - Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
 2: Redd Kross - Stay Away From Downtown
 3: Joey Ramone - Rock 'n' Roll Is The Answer
 4: Suzi Chunk - Look Back And Laugh
 5: The Monster Ones - Teenage Ramone
 6: Palmyra Delran - You're My Brian Jones
 7: Prima Donna - Puta Te Amo
 8: The Doughboys - It's A Cryin' Shame
 9: Jack White - I'm Shakin'
10: Branden Daniel and The Chics - Missionary

maybe just at the bottom of the list start to be a bit interesting but actually is frustrating,
if those are suppose to be the coolest songs of current underground garage, i´m uncool!

What's the link to vote? Sorry, John, I'll have to vote for my boys, the Nevermores, though. Their record is on my label, after all. ;)

Good luck with the contest. I voted for your band. I have to admit though, that's a pretty lousy list of songs and bands you are up against.

I checked it out, and cast my vote for KKBB, but I stand with the rest of the crowd in wondering what's up with Little Steven. Aerosmith, Springsteen, Ringo? WTF? None of them, nor ol' Joe Walsh has been anything resembling garage in decades, if ever!

Thanks everyone. There's also  nominations for The Woggles & Red Kross. @ Joe, had a blast playing back home in NYC. I don't get back there often enough.

You got my vote as well.  I was fortunate enough to see KKBB play in NYC back in July with the Original Sins - fantastic show! 

On a side note, I know this has been discussed here before, but it's a bit baffling what Little Steven considers "garage". 

Right on then, well said. Can't put it better than the others here. You got my vote - but that's out of question.

Edit to add: And congrats to the NEVERMORES as well, of course! Both you bands shake the competition up.

The Nevermores' "Adeline" (not featured on a Hideout comp, but they do have TWO songs on Hideout comps—"12 Bells" on Noises From the Hideout, and "Shallow Grave" on Garage Monsters) is also in the running for this!

But, unfortunately, I doubt either will win when they're up against those rock dinosaurs.
