I fkn love Adam and the Ants. Yep! even the Dandy Highwayman and Prince Charming periods. But this piece of shit just grates on every part of my soul. I can just imagine the conversation with the companies in his ' I am Adam Ant! I can do anything!' drug fuelled bullshit days. 'If Blondie can do it.... So can I! How hard can it be???' uuuurgh! Enjoy, haha

When compared to this. You'll see what I mean.

The question came up about the worst , or least favorite,  Garage Rock tunes. It's hard for me  to say , because I love the original stuff so much.

Chocolate Watchband - "Gossamer Wings" . OK , not the worst by any means , but Ed Cobb took a great , experimental  track (Loose Lip Synch Ship) , overdubbed a subpar vocal by Don Bennett , and mixed The Watchband's original recording down , low.....

Shadows of Knight - "Gloria '69" Who was the genius that suggested the latter - day SOK do a patchwork version of their original recording , supplemented with new , heavier instrumentation? It just does'nt make sense , tho' it is kind of humorous. 

Hunger ! "Strictly From Hunger !" LP. It's not bad , IT JUST DOES'NT LIVE UP TO A REPUTATION THAT PRECEDES IT.......It's more Pop - Garage Rock , really.

I'LL THINK OF SOME OTHERS..............

I'm a fan of all three , but , if any of us were to ostracize you (Or anyone , here.) for having an opinion , and not denying us our opinions , the right to agree or disagree , we'd be lowering ourselves to third grade you tube brawls , I think.
 
MikeL said:

I'll give you credit, that took courage to admit to this.



Lost Soul said:

Well, hopefully I wont get ostracized for this but I don't like Elvis, The Clash or The Ramones. I think they're all a little bit boring. There. I said it.

Andy Seven raised a good question , but , until I get to that, "Their Satanic Majesties " is a great album. Maybe an aquired taste , bu t, when I was in High School , "SGT. PEPPER' SEEMED LIKE A GATEWAY DRUG TO "SATANIC MAJESTIES". The Stones may not have related to the Psychedelic scene in Swinging London
, but , they were willing to experiment. "Sgt. Pepper " sounds so premeditated , no chances taken , for an album recorded at the same time , and in the same building , as "Piper at The Gates of Dawn" and "S.F. Sorrow". 
MikeL said:

I liked "She's a Rainbow." Yes, it's an oddity for the Rolling Stones, as was the rest of that album, but I still like it.



Johnny Quid said:

not garage punk per se but still from bands i'm sure you all love:
she's like a rainbow - stones
obla dee obla da - beatles
lola - kinks

i'm sorry but these songs suck cock BIG TIME!!!

Andy Seven said:

Okay, you guys, this is getting a little too easy. Yeah, Bee Gees suck, Van Halen sucks, so what? What Garage/Punk classics do you NOT like? I want to hear what "beloved" garage-punk songs do you actually hate hearing?

"You Beat The Hell Out of Me " is  great Pub Rocker.

That'll be The Motors, then.... I always quite liked them. D.

Airport - by a band i cant remember the name of, i cant stand this record .

MikeL , WE DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE, BUT , FROM THE AGE OF 9 or 10 , I heard KISS emanating from my Brothers' rooms (Tho' NEVER on the radio.) , and it was cool to them , so , it had to be cool to me. We all went and saw them in 1976 , about a month shy of my 12th birthday , and it was a great time ,  but, in a couple of years , they were  LESS than uncool.
 Bob Seger opened for Kiss , when he was on the verge of not rockin', but , still doing what he wanted , for the moment...... Listen to "Live Bullet" , then listen to "Kiss Alive II" , and you'll see why Seger got kicked off the KISS tour . BECAUSE HE WAS BLOWING THEM OFF THE STAGE ! But soon, it was lame ballads , "Against TheWind' , "We Got Tonight", "Beautiful Loser" ,  ETC. , TO SAY NOTHING OF HIS WEAK LATER ROCKERS.  "OLD TIME ROCK'N'ROLL" , "FIRE DOWN BELOW" , "WATCH HER STRUT", ETC. THIS was the man who gave us "Heavy Music" , "East Side Story" , "Get Out of Denver" , "Ramblin' ,Gamblin' Man", etc. ?
MikeL said:

I still have a soft spot for KISS.  You have to keep in mind that I was in elementary school during their 70s heyday, and I loved their Marvel Comics image.  They were the first band that I ever got into.

Now that I'm a little older and wiser, I can easily understand why so many people hated them so much musically.  At their absolute best, they were just below mediocre.  They had a few moments of genius, but that was it.

Still, I love watching live clips of them on youtube, because they were fun, if nothing else.

Johnny Bean said:

1. Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks

2. Ive never been to me ?

3. The birdie song ?

4. Everything by Phil Collins

5. Everything by Madonna

6. Slayer, Death Metal all other soulless testosterone cocksucker horseshit

7. GG Allen - so bad he falls off the bottom end of this list

8. Al Jarreau

9. Neil Sedaka (im old enough to have been annoyed by my parent playing his "music")

10. Kiss

but the worst song in the histoy of the world is Streets Of Love by The Rolling Stones, its so bad that I fall into a coma wet my pants and then cant stop laughing for at least half an hour.

 I dunno , they're telling us anyone can get THE AIDS , and it's true . It does'nt discriminate. But , it turns out , at least half the original Village People were Straight. They were a concept , built from the Manhattan Gay Disco scene , it's true. But , I read even the late Glenn Hughes (The Leatherman , not the later Deep Purple Bassist .) was Straight.
 
MikeL said:

Again, another guilty pleasure. And I'm glad the Village People didn't all succumb to the scourge of AIDS.

Jimmy Buffett.....sold out Wrigley Field , once. Don't shoot teh messenger , I did'nt understand it , either. Seek out David Allen Coes "Jimmy Bufet" song ( He intentionally spelled it wrong , I guess , for fear of legal repurcussions. He manages to EFFECTIVELY say , OK , YOU DID SOME GOOD SHIT , IN MY OPINION , BUT , i'm real and you're FAKE.
 
Ryan Katastrophe said:

Awww man I love Snoop Dogg. The man can do no wrong in my eyes. Let's talk about some songs I hate.

1. The Youngbloods - Get Together This hippy piece of shit makes my blood boil.
2. Jimmy Buffet - Margaritaville If someone can tell me how so many people enjoy such a turd of a song, I'm all ears.
3. Anything by Toby Keith, man that guy is a douche.

Status Quo  covered "Don't Bring Me Down" , but , maybe you knew that.

OK , I'm extremely late to the party , but, we should get this shit going again , it's hilarious ! We all love to talk about the songs we hate.....Only 10? Hmmmmm . Well.... 

1. David Geddes - "Run ,Joey , Run". OK , I have a love/hate thing going with this song. It's wretched , and , yet , it makes me laugh.

2.Michael Jackson -"Human Nature". Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy !!!!

3. Kajagoogoo - "Too Shy" . Like Duran Duran only WORSE? Yes , it really happened.

4. Jim Stafford - "My Girl , Bill".    Stafford actually cut some good sides , but, this is ONE OF the worst hit records The 70's produced. At least , before Disco.

5. Jefferson Starship - "Miracles".  There's a reference to cunnilingus , IF you can make it that far , without leaving the room while this song is playing.

6. Smashing Pumpkins - "Today is The Greatest Day"  . I KNOW , TOO EASY A TARGET. But , if you'd lived in Chicago and had to put up with then , pre and post - fame. Yeesh !

7. Loverboy - "Turn Me Loose" .   I really thought it was Donna Summer when I first heard it.

8. Hear'n'Aid (No , wait , that was a similar project...) - "Sport Alive". Possibly one of the worst all star chorus charity records , and that's with members of Motorhead , Slade , Girlschool and (Later) Sweet. They meant well. It was a rare anti - Soccer (Football) violence record (Barring The Geezers' "Welcome Soccer Hooligans" , celebrating The World Cup in Chicago , I have'nt heard any others.).

9. Leif Garrett - "I Was Made For Dancing" - No , your pathetic ass was made for humiliating your remaining fans on Television.

10. Rolling Stones - "Emotional Rescue" , "Dance pts. 1 and 2." , "Disco Miss You". I love cheese and ain't no rat. I love The Stones , but NOT LIKE THAT !   (Yes , they've done worse.) ......
 
kelly alvarez said:

ELO Don't Bring Me Down?!?! are you nuts?!?! that song RULES. it kinda reminds me of boogie-era Status Quo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil Collins and Michael McDonald's voices makes me want to stab people, but my least favorite song of all time is DANCE WITH ME by ORLEANS ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is lovely. A few years old but Takako is a real Maverick when it comes to music, culture and influence. Enjoy

Hey, Johnny.  It's on "Wine Is Red, Poison Is Blue".  Also, Poison 13 's tribute EP is pretty good!!!

JOHNNY , I REMEMBER , IT WAS ON A COMPILATION , MAYBE IT WAS THE SUB POP ONE PICTURED ON THAT CLIP.....THAT MAY NOT BE IMPOSSIBLY HARD TO TRACK DOWN. I GUESS SUB POP BEGGED THEM TO DO "STRYCHNINE" SO THEY COULD GET TEH SOUND OF FLAMING LIPS' VERSION OUT OF THEIR HEADS !

DID YOU SAY.....COVER? I THOUGHT POISON 13 WROTE THAT SONG. DID YOU MEAN , THE WASTE KINGS? THEY PUT OUT 3 SINGLES (THE FIRST ON ESTRUS.) , BUT NEVER RELEASED THEIR OWN VERSION . IT WAS JUST A STAPLE IN THEIR LIVE SET.
 
Johnny Lurg said:

I can't find their cover of "One Step Closer" anywhere.

I also have a 7'' that Sub Pop put out in 1994 featuring four then-unreleased Poison 13 recordings, including their covers of Joy Division's "Warsaw" and The Sonics' "Strychnine."

John Battles said:

Yeah , this came out in about '86. Poison 13 was an early Big Boys offshoot band. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT , THEIR EP INCLUDED THIS SONG , AND VERSIONS OF "PARCHMAN FARM" AND "STRANGE MOVIES". THE SUB POP CD PICTURED HERE , OF COURSE , CAME OUT MUCH LATER. I SAW THEM ONCE , THEY WERE PRETTY ROCKIN' , BUT, BY THE TIME THEY BECAME A "CULT" BAND, YEARS LATER , WITH THE 90'S GARAGE CROWD, I'D LOST INTEREST. THE WASTE KINGS , FROM CHICAGO , DID A BETTER VERSION OF "ONE STEP CLOSER " IN MY PERSONAL OPINION , THOUGH I'M SURE THEY'D DISAGREE.  

'Strange Movies " was almost a standard in Texas (Nervebreakers , T. Tex Edwards with Lithium Xmas and The Swingin' Cornflake Killers , YEAH! YEAH ! YEAH ! with Barry Kooda , etc.).....The Waste Kings , dissed in their day because they could play their instruments, also released a great version of "Strange Movies".

Big Beat/Ace in the UK has a 45 issue out now of an unedited version of the Seeds "Pushin Too Hard" that isn't on their new re-issue CDs, plus a flip with an alt take of "Girl I Want You" that is on the debut album re-issue CD.

Has anyone here heard the un-edited "Pushin' Too Hard" from this 45? Cost for the new 45 is @15 (plus shipping from the UK -- I think Big Beat is the only place to get the 45?), so just wondering if it is worth the bother and expense!

Big Beat's RSD Seeds 10" from last year was relay fab -- so glad I scored one of those!

Lenny should compile a follow-up compilation album to Nuggets with these bands as well.

I'm not crazy about a lot of those bands , barring No Bunny. He copped to being inspired by me , so I GOTTA LOVE HIM. Plus , he can write some songs.....But , whatever Lenny Kaye has tosay on the matter, I will listen , read , or both. Without him , and Greg Shaw , even the most obvious Garage Punk would probably be forgotten , today. 

Check out Lenny Kaye's feature on eMusic spotlighting his "Next Generation of Garage Rock" including Shannon & The Clams, Nobunny, Radar Eyes, Gentleman Jesse & His Men, Human Eye and more... http://www.emusic.com/music-news/list-hub/garage-rocks-next-generation-10-bands-to-watch/

Of course, most of these bands aren't new to most of us... but still a cool feature!

PORK #11 IS OUT NOW!!!

hey guys! I love everything skateboarding/horror/comicbooks/music/videogames and I happen to do Punk Rock (Garage, Psych, Surf, Pop Punk influences) in my bedroom, I do artworks and logos and shit by myself, it's free if you wanna check it out! If you like it, head over to my facebook page. Each time I get a like or a download I'll give surfboards to kitties and make 'em fight cyber robots with lazers

http://surfinmutantspizzaparty.bandcamp.com/

be excellent to each other

I love wild live albums that really capture the atmosphere of excitement in the venue and would like to discover more.

My top five that I can think of off hand would be "James Brown Pure Dynamite Live at the Royal Theater" (crazy 1964 album full of primal screaming for both Brown and the audience), "Controversial Negro" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (maybe my favourite of all time, amazing!), "Low Life" by Beasts of Bourbon (underground Australian rock at its nastiest), "Jerry Lee Lewis Live at the Star Club in Hamburg" (1964 album, super high-energy rock 'n' roll) and "Live in the Red" by Pussy Galore (perfect noise rock party).

Where's the playlists for the previous shows?????

Lest we forget , THE FUGS , especially their first couple of albums. FUCKED UP.

Wildfang's LP , PRODUCED BY PAUL MAROTTA OF THE MIRRORS , falls under that heading , I guess. Ostensibly a Garage Band , they covered so many styles , it'd make your head spin.
