Hey thought you might like to know there's a book out on Q65 next week (which i wrote) Published by Ugly Things magazine. greetz Pim http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/uglythings/the-97/Q65--dsh--The-Book/Detail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr9d17h4Xl4

there was a discussion like this on last.fm a while back [:
let's see..
I'd choose the rolling stones, for their undeniable influence on countless garage bands;
downliners sect, because they're underrated and fucking amazing;
aaaand the sonics. of course!

OH and hasil adkins!

Cheater Slicks been mentioned? I love that story in We Never Learn about everyone leaving the room as soon as they started playing. I think I'd love any band that had could do that.

I second that choice. Fantastic comp. It's got a young, unknown Jimmy Page as session musician, it's got the Muswell Ravens (the Kinks before they were the Kinks), and a ton of great tracks by bands like Q65, The Outsiders, etc.

Garage Punk Unknowns #9 one side of wacky vocal tracks and one side of killer instros. The Nuggets box is a perfect jumping-off point for new converts. And as Tim Warren pointed out, BTFG #8 would be one of the best if it contained
the Chancellors' "On Tour" and nothing else but it has 27 more great songs.

Thanks...even if I own most of the songs either on LP or CD I will try to get it, shame non of the links works anymore

I use the term "garage rock" because that's what I am interested in, I like melody in my music. Most punk bands tend to scream the lyrics and don't work very hard on the melody. It's just a style thing for me, I'm trying to limit the answers to that style. I'm sorry you despise the term, but garage is the first word in the name of your website. My band was thinking about learning a cover to open a show with, I just wanted to get some ideas for songs that I may have never thought about before. Hideout Admin said:

"Garage rock" song? I'm starting to really despise that term. It's just way too contrived and too limiting. After all, any band can take any song (any genre) and cover it, and turn it into something that's completely unique and their own, and open a set with that. Why does it have to be a "garage rock" song?

I dig most of the screams mentioned and also The Phantom on Love Me, Suicide - Frankie Teardrop, Slits - Shoplifting, Patty Waters - Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair (not r&r i guess but pretty crazy), The Heard - Stop It Baby, Contortions - Contort Yourself, James Brown - Maybe the Last Time, and Monoshock - Let's Hear It for the Singer!

yessss! I was gonna say the same thing! and bunker hill's fantastic shriek at the beginning of "the girl can't dance"!

The female backup screamers on Ralph Nielson and the Chancellors...'Scream'....not only volume, but she (or they) just keep screaming and screaming and screaming....

An INTERESTING one is Iggy Pop's "Pow!" at the start of Loose.

Eric davidson of the new bomb turks has some good ones.

Back From The Grave Vol. 2: NOVAS - The Crusher
...now close this one, hehe

..that's a knee-slapper...

LOL!

XD

I was just wondering if it would be possible to exchange Garage compilations here...I wouldn´t mind...some of my stuff is close to impossible to find today (no output on CD)...to post MP3s here.

Are we allowed to do so????? Admin?????

Been a few months or so since I bought any new stuff so I got a long list of records I need to buy, but I think Tyvek's Nothing Fits has just made its way to the top of that list. If anyone's heard this and says it sucks, I just won't believe you. Album of the year, gotta be. I won't be proven wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mon_oE1Htzw
