thats my point actually. In a nutshell. Its my up growing to punk music. Covering huge stuff outside punk defenition fence. I was sort of greaser, a pre-punk if you please. This is my soundtrack from that period and beyond. I really loved teddy boy rock and roll, rolling stones, yardbirds n all the brit blues pub rock glam whatever. Forefathers for the 77 punksters. Think Richard Penniman. Being the punkiest of them all. 77 was kind of in the middle of all this. Thats just my own way of punkin'

Alright teenfink doncha fink lots of us here know that already, I've thought that was a bit too much like statin the obvious a swe've already covered Seeds Elevators CWB Count V Sonics etc...but if ya wanna be really clever or even a little bit finnicky or pedantic bout it (;-?) let's say the orig punk era begins in and around the late 40s to mid 50s with Hooker and Wolf and
Muddy and the mighty Bo and Chuck and Rosco and Sonny Boy and all them early raw r'n'b rockabilly blues and rock'n'roll cats...happy listenin Lenny

It's amazing what the Cramps brought us, ya know?  Link Wray, Hasil Adkins, a lot of necessities in real music to say the least!

yeah makes total sense.Looking at it now, without link wray,I wounder what The Cramps would have sounded like?
It wasn't until I picked up a album by wray that I relised poison ivy's stlye of playing comes from the man himself and she used it wisely I must say.

I know what you're saying Wayne, just like you can't really classify the Animals as "garage"...To most music historians, garage started with surf music and Link Wray, then when the British Invasion hit, you had all these bands trying to emulate these groups, yet (to me anyway), sounding not as good, but better because it was so "punk" (hope that makes sense)...1966 is "Ground Zero" for what we know as the beginning of "garage rock", but if you go back and listen to Link Wray, you wonder, it's like it was garage before it was garage, like garage was punk before there was punk...I hope I'm makin' sense...And still to this day, I'll take '60's Stones over any decade they have been in existence...

Wayne Talbott said:

For me It was hearing louie louie by the kingsmen when I first watched quadrophenia when I was 15, but it took a good five years to get realise that the records that were popping up was this creature called garage,but where does garage start?

Some say ? and the Mysterians, but could you call the kinks, the Who the Rolling Stones garage, they got classed as mod I know but they influenced a lot of garage bands, infact every garage band 

That Bay City Rollers tune is a good one, my favorite by them is "Yesterday's Hero"!  And once it gets in my head, I can't get it out!  Like now... :)

Blitzkreig Bop without a doubt. I bought it in 1976, I think the single I bought before that was Rock N Roll Love Letter by the Bay City Rollers so maybe that was the one :)

My garage must be a bigger garage cause there's a ton of British Invasion groups in it.  Even some are a bit poppy like the Hollies up to like 1967.  Early Animals for sure.  There is a ton of early Kinks that fits the bill for me as well.

Psycho - The Sonics
My friends and I were fresh outta High School way into cars by the mid 90's but, we were just discovering music other than the "oldies" our parents showed us. Local record stores were the big chain type with no category for what we wanted so, we would look for any album cover that said or looked like anything Rockabilly or Surf. One of the guys got into buying music on E-vil-Bay and we would trade music with each other. He bought a Record called "Psychobilly sickness" or something like that. anyways long story short he hated it I loved it, Especially Psycho which of course wasn't Psychobilly so, I just had to find out what this music was and were I could find more of this amazing raucous Shit.
