If you were going to make a mix to try and get someone interested in sixties garage bands what would it be? I did one for someone a while back it went something like this (the order means nothing):

Blackout of Gretely - Gonn
Louie Louie - The Swamp Rats
Psycho - The Sonics
The Girl Can't Dance - Bunker Hill
Project Blue - The Banshees
Going All The Way - The Squires
Bad Girl - The Zakary Thaks
You're Too Much - The Eyes
Social End Product - The Bluestars
Crawdaddy Simone - The Syndicats
Filthy Rich - The Outsiders
Come See Me - The Pretty Things
Psychotic Reaction - The Count Five
It's A Cry'n Shame - The Gentlemen
Demolicion - Los Saicos

That's all I can remember right now. It was enough to fill up CDR though. Some of these might not be strictly "garage", but you get the idea. Mid-sixties mod, freakbeat, r&b, etc. The guy I did it for was into that emo/hardcore and generic indie type stuff. So what do y'all think?

For fans of OZ Garage and Punk, here; http://garagereactions.proboards.com/

Hey, ShapelyDice, you should do them as podcasts here. Yummy, and they don't get taken down as Youtube will do...

As for me, I'd include more Baroque pop and Freakbeat nowdays, (took me about 6 years to get past Yank-centric music):

• 2010, Tinkerbell's Fairydust

• Bumpers – cupitadion

• Ice , Anniversary Of Love

• Litter, Soul searchin’

• Pawnee Drive, Ride

• Sherlocks, Skin of my teeth

• Stoics, Enough of what I need

• Electras, This weeks children

• Rain, e.s.p

• Jackie Lomax, Little Yellow Pills

•  wrongh black bag – wake me shake me

• the birds - la poupee qui fait non

Still no answer to this question??  pity...  
 
very interesting lists...
wouldlovetogetaswell!!

I'd make you comps, no problem.  What is the easiest way to make a comp available to someone via the Web?

Hey great discussion:

R Dean Taylor/There's a Ghost in my House (tasty fuzz)

Who/Can't Explain

Seeds/Pushin Too Hard

then get them em onto the lesser known stuff

Park Avenue Playground - The Trip
The Sonics - Boss Hoss or Have Love Will Travel

The Troggs are considered , by many , to be the only true Garage Punk band Britain produced in The 60's. I had the pleasure of telling them,  once , that there are many of us who would like to adopt them as an American band. Of course , they were thrown back "WOT?! What's this, then?!". Sadly that'll never happen , and it does'nt look like Reg will ever menace the stage again. I HOPE I'm wrong , but , there's been no further info that I could find , since his diagnosis of Lung Cancer about a year ago.

I'm friends with Gregg Turner, former Angry Samoan. He told me years ago that The Troggs was one of his first big influences. I've heard him do a real nice "Love is All Around."

recently a young employee of the hip local record store asked me to get him up to speed with 60s garage (he's a local big honcho in the grindcore scene) - i have to say i was pretty taken aback - what a nice compliment! well since he has all the records he wants at his disposal, i told him to start with this: the troggs.

now he's got the fever and we email back and forth on a daily basis. just today he sent an frantic note, incredulous that i hadn't told him about "99th floor" by the moving sidewalks (we are in zz top country, afterall). of course i apologized profusely! ha!

....As performed by Lithium Xmas ...."Where are the children? The bible records have arrived !"

Seriously , tho, Nilsson's "Son of Dracula " has a great scene in a pub (Of course) with Harry singing "Jump Into The Fire" with Keith Moon , John Bonham , Peter Framptom (Before he came alive.)and probably some others.

hARRY nILSSON'S jUMP iNTO tHE fIRE

We were also asked to come up with a garage primer, way before the Nuggets box sets were available (and it was on cassette because burning CDs was not yet an option).  Songs we included that haven't been mentioned yet..

Ain't No Friend of Mine - Swamp Rats

Try It - Standells

Shake - Shadows of Knight

Milkcow Blues - Chocolate Watchband

What A Way to Die - Pleasure Seekers

You Burn Me Up and Down - We the People

Thoughts of a Madman - Nomads

Save My Soul - Wimple Winch

Wild Man - Tamrons

Action Woman - Litter

I Hate You - Monks

Tienes Algun Dinero - Shakers

My Iconoclastic Life - Beech-Nuts

As easy as its become to pull these sorts of lists together and create a playlist on an iPod, I kinda miss the days of pulling out the vinyl, cueing up the track and hitting "record" on the tape deck and trying to figure out how to get maximum use of a side without cutting off a song. 

Thee favourite converter tunes, pulled straight outta thee ether, for me would be stuff like:- 

The Human Expression - Love at a Psychedelic Velocity

The Chentelles - Be My Queen

The Elite - My Confusion 

The Banshees - Project Blue

The Shandells - Gorilla

tHE Music Machine - Talk Talk.....

Good list . At first , I thought ,  maybe too many fast songs for a novice , but , then you said they were into.....well , that stuff. Don't forget "7 and 7 Is" by Love and "1523 Blair "by The Outcasts , if you want your friend to hear some intensity that makes an ass out of Hardcore....Don't get me wrong , I liked some HC , to a point , but , I don't think it has the staying power of 60's or 70's Punk.

Nuggets / Pebbles comps just to start

Rats revenge part 1 and 2- The Rats


For the "modern bands" ..... The Prisoners

hARRY nILSSON'S jUMP iNTO tHE fIRE

"I Need Somebody" - ? and the Mysterians
"Exit" - Prince & the Paupers
Surfin' Bird" or "King of the Surf" - The Trashmen
"Annie Oakley" or "Get On This Plane" - The Premiers
"Hidden Charms" - Link Wray
"Shain's A Go Go" - Los Shains
"Cemeterio" - Los Saicos
"I'm Rowed Out" - The Eyes
"Jump Jive & Harmonize" - Thee Midniters

For more "modern" stuff: Anything by The Milkshakes, Thee Mighty Caesars, Thee Headcoats, The Masonics, The Wildebeests, The Mummies, The Brentwoods, Supercharger, etc.

Certainly Help Me by The Primitives & Ain't Got No Feelin' by Derek's Accent would be another two to add to the list.

My first thought would be to burn the Nuggets Box Sets,1+2.Good selection of garage and an even better one of mod/beat/R n b.
If it was one tune for me it would be "Baby" by The Tasmanians.Four chords,fuzz guitar,weedy organ and the essential "my woman crapped on me" lyrics.

i was at a grindcore show once.. weirdest show ive ever to/ been a part of.. i dont know, i dont like talking about it, lol

i know right! but count your blessings. working for a good record store would be like working for in-store credit! haha!

grindcore is a faster, tighter, louder hardcore. noisier than metal. but still low class enough to not be labeled post-rock. but don't quote me.

Dang, I wished I worked at a record store and had all the records I wanted at my disposal. Pardon my ignorance, but what is "grindcore"? Guess I could look it up.
