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.

Wow! These are great choices.  I really don't even know if I can add any but I'll try.
For albums mentioned but I still think they are best.
The Sonics-Here are the Sonics
? and the Mysterians - 96 Tears
The Seeds - The Seeds
The Count Five - Psychotic Reaction
The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us
The Cynics - Rock and Roll

For albums not mentioned:
The Standells - Dirty Water
The Chesterfield KIngs - Stop!
The Mummies - Fuck CDs! It's the Mummies!
The Mono Men - Wrecker
The Makers - Howl
Thee Headcoats - Headcoats Down

Here's my top 3 (off the top of my head, and some previously mentioned...cause they're essential, natch...):

the Sonics Here are the Sonics!!!

the Cramps Songs the Lord Taught Us

the Dirtbombs Ultraglide in Black

kitchen cinq - everything but the kitchen cinq

1st Elevators album.

The Litter 'Distortions'.

Five Americans 'I See The Light'.

When I saw this on the list it certainly reminded me - I listen to that album so much, in pieces.  You can scare someone playing that album and I will put another vote in.  Imagine a stranger coming to your door with Demolicon or Alcatraz blasting on your speakers.  I am a sucker for garage coming from Peru.  Los Shains are another - love that Anthology.

I would have to say Los Saicos' Wildteen Punk From Peru.  It is consistently great from start to finish and their some truly amazing musical and primitive feeling moments in it, especially with the final song "El Entierro Dos Los Gatos."

Nice interviews, keep it up!

What is *your* pick for most rock and roll city?

Brooklyn based blog started by a couple who wanted a way to go to to shows for free !  

10 STUPID QUESTIONS !!!

AWESOME ROCK N ROLL BANDS !!! 

THE SPITS
GONE BAD

ERIC DAVDISON (New Bomb Turks, Livids)

MUCK AND THE MIRES

HABIBI

 ONE CHORD PROGRESSION ON FACEBOOK

ONE CHORD PROGRESSION ON TWITTER

ONE CHORD PROGRESSION ON TUMBLR

Besides ourselves? Well, my favourites are Los Franco Neros, they're pretty cool. Besides that, metal and reggae kinda took over - not bad, but also not so much my cup of tea...

Still happening in Adelaide, South Australia - live at the Grace Emily Hotel:

Adelaide's Them Plasms

*laugh* re Original Disco Man (oooh yeaaaah).

What is on the lp/tape/cd shelves here? Most by one group or artist? The Stones 'natch, esp. love Between the Buttons.

This would be followed by a nice pile of indie punk compilations that I can't seem to resist, Live at The Rat (RIP) being an all-time fave. :D

John, as far as Original Disco Man (whicah I don't own, BTW)...

It may have been CHEAP, but most importantly it was JAMES BROWN, so you get a pass! Ha!

Auto Focus was awesome and so weird to look at him that way now...but of course his cast and crew members on Hogan's Heroes would probably just say "I know No-ssing" about all of his extracurricular activities...

I will give a listen to Prima Donna, thanks for the heads up!

MikeL said:

LOL!  Tell me about it:)  Did you ever see a movie called "Auto Focus"?  It was a biopic about Bob Crane, who played Col. Hogan on "Hogan's Heroes."  He had a rather dark side as well, and it makes me see him in a whole new light whenever I watch reruns of that show.

caryn lavender said:

The song Do You Want To Touch/Oh Yeah has a whole different meaning to me now....

MikeL said:

Hey, you can't help but to like Gary Glitter's music...just try not to dwell too much on him being a pedophile;)

caryn lavender said:

Pass it on, no one should be without the joy of the Butt Rock classification...and don't forget the great Butt Rock bands Ratt, Motley Crue, Slayer and early Butt Rock Hall of Famer Billy Squire...Okay I'll shut up now, I am sure I have offended enough people.

By the way my personal faves are Sweet, Slade, Bowie, Mott The Hoople and I have huge amounts of T-Rex...and yes...even though Gary Glitter is a hugely creepy perv, I still like his music...

trashman said:

haaaaa.  Next time I see my friend I will mention Butt Rock.  love it.

caryn lavender said:

Okay...IMHO...Van Halen = Butt Rock...Poison = Butt Rock...bands with the hair and the spandex and lots of mild rock with chicks crawling on cars in their videos...the song Cherry Pie...all of that to me = Butt Rock...just saying

the keyboard player was good;

 

the keyboard player was good;

Saw Prima Donna in Brussels two weeks ago, good sound, warm and clear, good energy but very average songs besides one or two plus the singer must have watched Billy Idol's videos during kindergarten and prepuberty, smelled like Sunset spirit a bit too much to my tastes ; Try the Mansfields (from the USA) if you like better songs and attitude; I saw Slade 30 years ago and it was full/on rocknroll from begin to end; Coz I love you; Ivan Holder

Not at all IMHO.  I'd say hard rock.

thanks ya'll. i'm going to take what you've shared and get to it. :)
