I mean, there's a lot of bands that I own their whole catalog, Muddy waters would be impossible, I have 20 MW LPs and theres tons more out there I'm sure even I have never heard of.

Two words: Muddy. Waters.
Why: Because he is the king of the Delta Blues AND THE father of the Chicago Blues, inspired Chuck Berry and countless thousands of 60s rock guitarists.
Next to that, The Clash, next to that, maybe Bowie, not sure.
March 10, 2012 5:07 PM CST
Ramones. All the vinyl LPs and probably around 40 7" in pic sleeves.
March 10, 2012 1:22 PM CST
Man or Astro-Man? wins by a long shot. Fugazi and David Bazan (all projects) are probably the next in line.
March 10, 2012 10:37 AM CST
Kinks, Stones, The Jam, The Who, Ramones. Not necessarliy in that order.

Soul Preacher --- You know your Damned! There are two 7" picture sleeves off the top of my head that would really kind of complete this batch. One being the Japanese press of Neat Neat Neat as Mole pointed out a few posts back and the German version of New Rose.
That pink vinyl press of "Don't Cry Wolf" is in the third photo. Is that 'Something Weird" boot 7" on Scatterbrain Child? If so, yea I don't have that. That "Black Album" you mention, I thought I had that, but looking I see I don't. Is that the Big Beat pressing or one of the non UK/US pressings?

Pretty damned solid collection Mike !!!
Being myself quite obsessed by The Damned (and late 70s UK punk in general) in my teens, I think I may own one or two vinyls I can't see on these cool pix.
In the 45 category, I'm thinking about a pink (vinyl is pink, cover is the generic Stiff records black cover) 7" edition of "Don't cry Wolf"/"One way Love"; another 7 " (a bootleg) called "Something Weird" (ltd edition of 200) from around 1986 I believe featuring live renditions of "L.A. woman", "Just can't be happy today" and "Lively Arts".
Oh, and my "Eloise" 7" has a slightly different cover.
In the LP section, I have also a picture vinyl of "Damned Damned Damned"; a simple edition of the "Black Album" (minus the "Curtain Call" platter) with a plain black cover; a few compilations ("Another great record from the Damned", "Light at the end of the tunnel"...) and a few live bootlegs ("Too much to drink in Southend", "Ballroom Blitz").
And I have to say, it's the 2nd time only I see that (bootleg) 7" version of "Love song"/"Burglar" (2nd pic, top right). The 1st copy I've met, decades ago, is in my living room now, partying hard with its happy waxen companions.
Cheers !!!

Damn, I forgot to pull that one out for the photo!............. allright smart ass, you know that is a high dollar and rare one. That thing was going for hundreds back in the early-mid 80's as I recall. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll never own that one, I'll just have to be content with my Japanese 'Blitzkrieg Bop' instead.
Mole said:
Impressive pics! Couldn't see the Japanese 'Neat Neat Neat' though....!!
Mike said:The Damned followed by the Ramones. Mostly because they both have released so many damned (get it?) records and 7" sleeve variations etc etc that sucker a collector nerd like me to buy. No picture of me, but a set a photos I'd snapped for another forum. I have to give credit though to an old friend who sold me his entire Damned 7" collection back in the 80's. I knew it hurt him, but he knew it was going to a good home. That's where a good chunk of my Damned and Capt. Sensible singles came from.
March 9, 2012 11:52 PM CST
Now that'd be a discography to put together. I think I've had three different versions of the 'Apartment Wresting RnR" LP alone, and none are probably the original pressing.

I think I own more records from Beat-Man (The Monsters, Lightning Beat-Man, Reverend Beat-Man) than anything in my collection. I think the plus there is he gives them to me... ;)
March 10, 2012 7:24 PM CST
I heard it last night for the first time. Very Yardbirds influenced. And it was easier to find once a band name had been supplied. First thing Google wanted to search for was Fords made between '80 and '96.

Yes, by the Dantes. Sorry I forgot to mention that! It's an instrumental. No doubt you've heard it before.
Rockin Rod Strychnine said:Hmmm, I'm not familiar with that one. Thanks for adding a name to the song. Now Googling won't be next to impossible.

Rockin Rod Strychnine said:What's 80-96. Also kudos to adding Stolen Moments to this list as it's such an overlooked song. You're list looks like one I would have written (but we never did get around to playing these though because my band thought they were TOO well known).

Thanks John,
Was that previous discussion here? I'll look it up if so. There are a few names you listed I'm not familiar with like Chili Willi & Nine Below Zero, so thanks! And, there are a few I'm somewhat familiar with but have never really sought out and explored like Ducks Deluxe. So again, thanks for that.
March 10, 2012 2:49 PM CST
THERE'S A LOT OF FORGOTTEN AND UNKNOWN (AT LEAST , IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.)PUB ROCK GROUPS , WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS A WHILE BACK , TRYING TO COMPILE A TOP 25.....IT'S VERY HARD TO KEEP CHISWICK OUT OF THE EQUATION , BUT , IF IT HELPS , THERE'S LITTLE BOB STORY (FRANCE , STILL ACTIVE.) , ROOGALATOR , CHILLI WILLI , COUNT BISHOPS / BISHOPS , (EARLY) CANNIBALS , HAMMERSMITH GORILLAS/GORILLAS , DUCKS DELUXE (RECENTLY REFORMED) , SEAN TYLA / TYLA GANG (EX - DUCKS DELUXE) , NINE BELOW ZERO (LATER.) , INMATES , EARLY STRANGLERS / PURPLE HELMETS (STRANGLERS MEMBERS DISGUISED AS AN OBSCURE PUB / GARAGE BAND , THE WAY THE DAMNED DID WITH NAZ NOMAD AND THE NIGHTMARES.).
I know a lot of these bands are'nt that obscure , but , maybe they'll remind people of some groups they can refer you to who made few or no records but are well - remembered by whoever saw them....Here in the states , it's ALL obscure....Of the lot of 'em , I think only Dr. Feelgood and The Inmates ever toured , here. The Feelgoods toured the US with Wilko , and with Gypie.
March 10, 2012 2:45 PM CST
For me, it's the classics whose records are just too expensive. Absolutely The Cramps. Very rarely do I see their originals in stores. When I do, they're ridiculously priced. And even the reissues cost a lot. Also, Flamin' Groovies. It's so hard to find their records. After looking for about 2 or 3 years, I finally found a copy of "Still Shakin." And lastly, anything by the Stooges.
March 9, 2012 6:46 PM CST
artists I want to one day own every record of include :: The Gories (recently just got outbid on 3 rare Gories 7" up on ebay...), Supercharger, The Mummies, Jay Reatard solo + The Reatards, Cosmic Psychos, The Dirtbombs
March 10, 2012 1:48 PM CST
One minor correction, THEY didn't put this one out. This is a boot, but yea a very cool one and a must have in my opinion.
March 10, 2012 10:34 AM CST
I'm in! @ Chris, leave a slot for KKBB if you go ahead with this, I'm sure we can get our French Label to help with promotion. We can probably get the Love Me Nots interested too. We're label mates & are planning some Euro tours together. BTW, you gonna be around in May? Perhaps you can make it down to Cosmic Trip? It would be great to see you. It's been ages. Say hi to Reni & anyone else I know in Bern.
March 10, 2012 3:23 AM CST
It should be like the Olympics and take place in a different city every four years. I place my bid for Tokyo 2018!
March 10, 2012 10:23 AM CST
Is that a Highway One Jazz Bass in Honey Blonde BTW?
March 10, 2012 7:32 AM CST
It is that time again, boys and girls. I will be on the air and the web on Saturday March 10th from 1:00-3:00PM EST. You can listen at 89.7 WITR-FM in Rochester, NY or streaming live at http://witr.rit.edu .

damn savage kick series been eluding me for time,its gold dust here in the u.k.ya cant get it for love nor money.
The screamin' Soul Preacher said:
In the early R'n'B/ black R'n'R vein, you should probably try the SAVAGE KICK serie, full of great screamers and wailing saxes !!!
I SMELL A RAT and ROLL YOUR MONEYMAKER on Stag-O-Lee records.
BLOWIN' THROUGH YOKOHAMA on Atomic Passion.
WHIP WOBBLE & GRIND on Club Harlem.
T-BIRD PARTY on Lido.
The JERK ! BOOM ! BAM ! serie on Jerk Boom Bam records.
And of course, as you've already mentioned, every Candy records comp is worth a try.
And many many more I can't think of right now.

I have a show on Thursday nites 10-midnite and play all garage and its awesome...I remember The black lips in atlanta when like 10 people used to show up for a show...now look...if the music could get to the people they would dig it...the problem is getting it out there publicly and internationally...on the radio...I refuse to listen to commercial music...you can be successful and still not be a jerk...a prancer...cool then

In recent history I would say that the White Stripes are the closest that a band has come to reaching the mainstream charts.
I think you're forgetting the mainstream successes of bands like the Hives, Black Keys and Black Lips. The Detroit Cobras, Dirtbombs, Reigning Sound and various other bands have had some success, too. Maybe not "mainstream" or household names, but they've definitely sold a lot of records.

....A long overdue project , but, anyone who's made a film will tell you it always takes longer than expected....One of those cops looked like he was walking two big dogs , y'knowhuddamean?
