  I'd like to get a list of people - artists and groups - that people here would consider the best of the best from a GaragePunk perspective. If we can get together a list of say, 50 or so candidates, I'll conduct a poll here on the forum to elect members to a "Garage Punk Hall of Fame".
  
  Candidates can be from any era. Just to get us going why don't I throw out some names off the top of my head.
  
  How about...
  
  Billy Childish
  Mick Collins
  The Dead Boys
  The Devil Dogs
  The MC5
  The Monks
  The Mummies
  MX-80
  The Seeds
  The Stooges
  Roky Erickson/13th Floor Elevators
  Link Wray
  
  And feel free to toss out any names you can think of. Even if you don't think they're quite "Hall of Fame" worthy but should at least be considered.
  
  Lets see what we can come up with here...

  Since we're going back a-ways , it'll be hard to come up with names that have'nt been mentoned (But a majority rule is in order , I guess.).
  
  The Droogs - For doing it when the ink was barely dry on the first Garage Era's death cerificate.
  
  Wildfang - For not really caring if it was hip or not.
  
  Milano/ The Leather Boy - Studio Psych/Biker Rock Garage Genius.
  
  Dean Carter - Demented Rockabilly / Garage Studio Genius.
  
  Stud Cole - Disturbed Lounge Rocker /Handmade Record Genius . Did'nt sound like Elvis meets The Yardbirds , maybe Ral Donner meets The Chocolate Watchband?
  
  Jack Starr - Handmade Horror - J.D. film /Rockabilly and Garage Bathroom Recording Genius.
  
  Donny B. Waugh - Rockabilly meets Garage in 19 - Fucking - 70 , in New Jersey.
  
  The Shitty Beatles - For being over 30 when Deep Ellum (Dallas club district) was "Logan's Run" ,where bands were concerned , and for maintaining a nerdy appearance , which would'nt get you laid for at least 20 years. But , mainly , for knowing Garage Rock meant taking everything you were influenced by , and coming up with something of your own.
  
  Yes , The Shitty Beatles were a real band , before they were referenced in "Wayne's World" and before all the other no - imagination having bands of the same name turned up.

  I suggest to stay punk and destroy any hall of fame and turn it into a hall of shame.

  I totally agree with the above mentioned Billy Childish, Link Wray, The Stooges and MC5. How about The Flaming Stars? How super cool are they?

  Greg Shaw (R.I.P.) for his inspiration and spirit. Also, there is a thing about putting NEW bands in a "Hall of Fame". maybe there should be a rule like 10 or 20 years have to pass.

  there was a discussion like this on last.fm a while back [:
  let's see..
  I'd choose the rolling stones, for their undeniable influence on countless garage bands;
  downliners sect, because they're underrated and fucking amazing;
  aaaand the sonics. of course!
  
  OH and hasil adkins!

  Cheater Slicks been mentioned? I love that story in We Never Learn about everyone leaving the room as soon as they started playing. I think I'd love any band that had could do that.

  Double posts are great. It'd be great if some people here posted who they agree with who were already mentioned as well as new mentions. That way, there could actually be a tally. NoHitWonder said:

  CRYPT RECORDS
  JOHNNY THUNDERS/HEARTBREAKERS/NEW YORK DOLLS
  THE MOORAT FINGERS
  GUITAR WOLF
  BLACK LIPS
  THE SPACESHITS/KING KHAN/BBQ
  BLUES EXPLOSION
  NEW BOMB TURKS
  JEFF EVANS/68 COMEBACK/GIBSON BROS.
