    • I don't know too much about what Michael Draine mentioned but they sound great but I too would have mentioned anything with the Cramps stamp of approval.  And Howie's show also comes highly recommended.

    • well, that is my extreme specialty, something i have been collecting since the 70s and something i feature heavily (but not solely) on my long time radio show, oddly enough called INTOXICA! Here's a link to my archive of some old shows where you can hear many hours (weeks!) of this type of stuff (plus garage, frat, rockabilly & lotsa more, with guests and other surprises...). I have been doing the show for 7 years & have a big following of crazed collectors...

      enjoy!

    • There are some great pre-Surf instrumentals on THE CRAMPS JUKEBOX and SONGS THE CRAMPS TAUGHT US 1-3, on the STRICTLY INSTRUMENTAL series, the GREASER INSTRUMENTALS series, INSTRUMENTALS FOR GREASERS, the THAT'S SWIFT instrumental compilation, BRIGHT LIGHTS by Wade Curtiss & The Rhythm Rockers, and “Take It off” by The Genteels  (on I BELIEVE IN MUSIC by the Gross Prophet).

    • March 22, 2013 11:57 AM CDT
    • That's what I am curious to know more about, as I'd like to know more about frat rock.

    • Many years ago, as I was just beginning to become obsessed with surf rock, I happened to pick up a copy of "Intoxica!" by the Revels on vinyl at a local music store.  I love the album and have treasured it ever since and though the biography inside intrigued me and my knowledge of and hunger for surf rock has grown immensely since then, I never really delved any deeper into that pre-surf rock "party band" instrumental sound of the late fifties.  Today I came across a recording of "Camel Walk" by The Saxons and the fire was lit once again.  Please, can anybody recommend their favorite tracks/artists from this slightly more primitive sub-genre or perhaps any amazing compilations I might be able to get my hands on?

    • The Ramones will be relevant as long as there's an interest in Rock and Roll.

      They're the history of R&R, sped-up and pulped down to 3 minutes.

    • March 22, 2013 1:16 PM CDT
    • Thanks for that link Dave. Still going to get another copy.

    • March 22, 2013 12:44 PM CDT
    • Love It's Alive. Not heard it for a while as I only have it on tape and technology seems to have moved on. Think it might be time to get a copy I can actually play.

    • March 21, 2013 6:36 PM CDT
    • "It's Alive" is just a tremendous album... One of the best live efforts by any band anywhere, anywhere.

      Here's a clip:

    • Ramones live were great, I have yet to see concert footage that captures the loud, speed and excitement of the shows, i was lucky to see them a few times and meet joey outside the hoilday inn one night.

    • March 22, 2013 12:13 PM CDT
    • Sounds like a plan, thanks!

      Dave: ALL the Treniers' stuff rocked. "Poontang" was no fluke. Just ask John Battles. However, the album I just printed the link to isn't one of their best. There are other compilations of their essential OKeh/Epic sides, however...

      SWT: just about all of Swamp Dogg's album covers were intentionally meant to shock...

    • I see what ya mean, gag-shop scary! Did their other stuff besides 'Poontang' rock? Haven't heard anything else.

      Oh, I got an ugly album cover for ya. So ugly I'm only gonna print the link.

      See, Cliff and Claude Trenier were handsome dudes, but that colorized B&W picture has got to go!!! Makes them look like they were mounted and stuffed!

    • Here are Witchfinder General plus topless extra starring on the cover of their rather good Death Penalty album:

      Even worse, however, is the cover of a great album by D.I.

    • First time I heard the Flying Lizards'"Money," it was on WLUP (The Loop), Chicago's "death-to-disco" rock station. And even then, I think Steve Dahl and Garry Meier may have been making fun of it. As the song faded out, Steve said something like: "keep taking music lessons, kids, maybe you'll get better...THIS is the sound of the eighties, on WLUP-The Loop, 98 FM"

    • March 21, 2013 10:04 PM CDT
    • i remember when Dr. Demento , on  Sundays at 10:00pm, was the only place to hear Punk , or stranger stuff like The Flying Lizards.....But , it was sporadic at best.
       I did'nt actually hear The Pistols' LP until my Brother bought it in 1980.

      It was still rare that I'd meet anybody who went to The Pistols/Nervebreakers show at The Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas in Jan. 1978 , though , later , I'd meet several people who were there. They either hated it , but had a good time, anyway , or it turned their heads around , got them starting bands , or giving their already - formed bands an identity. Somehow , previous gigs by The Ramones and Dr. Feelgood did'nt seem to succeed at doing this.

      I was listening to the Dr. Demento show on KMET, Los Angeles back in 1977. He was doing a 'Tribute to England' show playing comedy songs, but the last song he played was the Sex Pistols doing 'God Save the Queen'. I went out immediately and bought the import album on Virgin, since it had not been released in the U.S. on Warner Bros. yet. Right after that, I found the 'Rodney on the Roq' radio show on KROQ and starting listening every Sunday night at 9:00. I was lucky to have lived in LA at the time, since the scene there was an important one in the history of punk rock.

    • Though most of the first two 20/20 albums are nothing but hits. I'm surprised they were not more mainstream. Great hooks and lyrics. The first album is my favorite, but the 2nd album's opening track "Nuclear Boy" is my favorite song. Seems like it should have been a top ten radio or MTV staple. Not too far of a stretch from Modern English, Ah Ha, or Simple Minds. I'm going to go play my 20/20 albums now.

    • Cheers ChazDaddy! Good call, Bob Log III is brilliant, and Doo Rag too! I haven't heard much Guided by Voices but will check out more of their early stuff for sure.

      Awesome list Ben E! Actually many great lists here as usual. I would have listed almost everyone you did, I could add Bob Log III or early GBV.
