      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."

      And the cover to that Sam the Sham is a scream, too!

      If modern-day garage counts (and evidently it does):
      I Know You Fine, But How You Doin' - Gories
      Blue Dirge - Beguiled
      Dear Independence - Blue Van
      Live For Buzz - Swingin' Neckbreakers

      More sixties gold:
      The Remains
      I See The Light - Five Americans
      Midnight Ride With Paul Revere & the Raiders

      Stay Sick by The Cramps

      And I'm glad James mentioned Their Second Album by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs. That was kind of a concept album with songs about magic and voodoo featuring great covers of songs like "I Got My Mojo Working," "Hoochie Koochie Man,"  "Magic Touch," "The Gypsy" and their hit "Juju Hand." Wish I still had that!

      "Psychedelic Sunrise" by the Chesterfield Kings.  I also really like "61/49" by the Romantics.

      I also like all of those Cynics' albums that John mentioned earlier, especially "Rock'n'Roll."

      I agree about 'On Fyre.' A great album!

      The Lyres - "On Fyre" 1984 or The Monks "Black Monk Time" 1966. I also would throw in The Black Lips "Let It Bloom" 2005.

       i AGREE ABOUT the monks , But , it's hard to say....

      ? AND THE MYSTERIANS - "96 TEARS"

      BLUES MAGOOS "ELECTRIC COMIC BOOK"

      ANY AND ALL SONICS ALBUMS (I KNOW , IT'S OBVIOUS...)

      ANY OF THE BROOD'S ALBUMS , ESP.  "VENDETTA"

      Cynics - "Rock'n'Roll" , "Get Our Way" , "Living is The Best Revenge"

      Fleshtones - Their worst beats these more popular punk ass kids' best , but , I'd say , "Blast - Off!" , "mORE tHAN sKIN dEEP " , "fLESHTONES vS. rEALITY" , First two albums , and even their first , apparently loathed , EP .

      SEEDS - "tHE sEEDS" ,  "Web of Sound"

      Electric Prunes - "Underground" , "Live in Stockholm , 1967".

      Shadows of Knight "Back Door Men" , "LIVE AT tHE cELLAR cLUB", Hell , even the live in 72 CD is pretty good , if you can handle some Brownsville Station Bubble Gum Metal Punk

      Love - same.

      13th Floor ELEVATORS "The Psychedelic Sounds of....."  You may say it's more Psych than Garage . It's more important to try to picture what it sounded like to people in 1966.

      The Lollipop Shoppe - "Just Colour".

      Los Saicos - same. I think....

      The Pets (Venezuela)

      First two Troggs (UK) albums. They're an American band , damn it , just as the monks were a German band.
