'No No No' isn't my favorite, but to each his own (; BFTG is a MUST MUST MUST have! All garage.. 'noisy and unpsychedelic'! Probably my favorite series. The volumes of the Quagmire series are bitchin' too, especially the first one. Also try some 'Psychedelic States' comps.. Alabama vol. 2 and Mississippi are the best I think! Morgan was right about the TS comps--a lot of the songs are just filler, but my favorite is vol. 4 ('I'm a No-Count!'). 'Get Lost #3' is real raw, but I don't think there are other volumes.. 'Lost Generation vol. 2' is the better of the installments. Trash Box is GREAT and if you ask me, the crappy quality is what MAKES it great. All the 'Garage Beat' volumes have some absolutely amazing songs, but most of them can be found on other comps. And of course, OF COURSE, 'Fort Worth Teen Scene' vols. 1, 2, and 3! And if we're talking about single-volume comps, 'Hang It Out To Dry!' is one of my absolute favorites ever, as well as 'Total Raunch'. 'Searchin' in the Wilderness' is a comp of faaar out European garage. 'Scum of the Earth' is one side of crazy garage and one side of crazy junk.. but it's all good save for a track or two :p Okay I'll try to contain myself from anything further & let other people answer (; but those are my favorites!

pebbles and back from the grave

I like Cambodian Rocks from Parallel World.

what a way to die...pleasure seekers

I'd love to hear a garage/trash version of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery tune that begins "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. ..." (Can't even remember the real title. I think it was part of some "suite" or something)

Yes, it's stinky old prog rock, but that tune was the closest Emerson, Lake & Palmer ever had to having fun. It deserves to be liberated with some banged up Farfisa or Vox organ replacing Keith Emerson's arsenal of keyboards. And the lyrics actually are funny: "40 virgins and a mule, keep it cool, keep it cool

Either that or "Hang on Sloopy."

cramps biography

Learn and laugh your ass off at the same time with "I have fun everywhere I go" by the great Mike Edison and "Rock Stardom for dumbshits" by The wonderful Phantom Surfers ! And check the BOOKSHELF group ! You may find other suggestions there !

TMLD sounds awesome!! It seems Canada has a great slice of every genre through the years. The surf/rnr output is really astonishing. Thanks, Mark.

I recently read "We Never Learn" by Eric Davidson of the New Bomb Turks. It's sort of a retrospective of the whole 90s punk/garage scene as told through a heavy filter of autobiography. I think he did a pretty damn good job covering over a decade of international music. It's nowhere near as exhaustive as books like "Please Kill Me" or "We've Got the Neutron Bomb", but it's a decent read if you can get over Davidson's um... 'flowery' prose style. Ha ha.

I also really recommend "Treat Me Like Dirt" which is the exhaustive (almost painfully so at times) expose of the first wave punk scene in Toronto, Canada and the surrounding area. It's fantastic, but damn it covers a LOT of stuff.

I really enjoyed Charles Mingus' autobiography Beneath The Underdog, but it gets kind of mixed reviews elsewhere.

"Good Rockin' tonight" by Escott/Hawkins...

I'de have to say Richard Hell, New York Dolls, Stooges, Lou Reed & The Velvet Underground, Johnny Thunders to name just a few, also Television.

I agree The Clash is total energy integrity and sound completely diffrent form all the other Punk bands of the era.

I play all "vintage style guitars", and I don't care if some of them are cheapos, or what gear snobs think of them. I like both the look and sound of these instruments. The last instrument I bought was a Squier Bronco Bass, used for $80, and I love it. I hate any heavy metal, or modern style guitar regardless of the brand name. I especially loathe Paul Reed Smith guitars. I know they are well made, expensive guitars, but they just don't speak to me, and sound generic in my opinion.

I too, own a 90's Korean made Dano Longhorn Bass re-issue and love it, as well as a Jay Turser Violin Bass, which I think is superior to Hofner's Asian made Icon series.

I'm always looking for the cheapest (yet decent) alternative around. My main axe for garage rock is a telecaster by the brand Bach (http://www.bachmusik.com/en/) and I think it does the job just as good as a mexican fender. But then I've done some sweet mods to it: Seymour Duncan Little '59 in the bridge position, tonerider hot classic in the neck position (go buy toneriders, they sound REALLY good! I used to have a hot classic in the bridge as well but I got tired of the single coil hum, I'm more of a bucker guy), locking tuners and a Bigsby B50. Mahogany body and maple neck. Our lead guitarist (who usually plays an american tele) borrowed it for a rehearsal once and his guitar sound became way more distinctive with my guitar. It may not have the feel of a fender or gibby, but price wise - It's the deal!

About the peavey,you are so right man.I own a peavey T-60,'79 model.And its so awesome man.Ok maybe it doesn't sound so good when in distortion,but when you play on the clean channel,It takes you to another level.

Please tell me how to find the music library? Thanks.

Ashbass Fuzzbrite is a great pedal.
