How the hell is a Cavegurl supposed to choose just one? Okay, Okay...I'll spare ya the obvious...like those essential Nuggets, Pebbles, Bomp, Rubble, Back from the Graves, Trash Box Set comps etc.

I adore '60's garage AND the 80's revival neo-garage.
anything by:
The Attack
The Creation
GRAVEDIGGER V
Jason Crest
We The People
Jesse Hector/ Hammersmith Gorilla's (I beg to differ with some...It IS GARAGE!

oops gotta get back to work...but my moods change on a day to day...hour to hour basis!

Where are The Cynics, The thanes and The Morlocks.... Come on guys... '80s garage is not bad!

It's all these one off greats that led me to choose the "Songs We Taught The Fuzztones Comp - for those not familiar with this comp here's a few examples of whats on there:
The Blues Magoos - Dante's Inferno
The Sparkles - No Friend Of Mine
The Haunted - 125
The Sonics - Cinderella / Strychnine / The Witch
The Electras - Action Woman
The Calico Wall - I'm A Living Sickness
The Fabs - That's The Bag I'm In
The Bees - Voices Green & Purple
The Bold - Gotta get Some
The Reengades - 13 Woman
The Heard - Your Gonna Miss Me
And there's more but hey I'm hogging a bit
Still have to vote for The Sonics "Boom" as best "Garage Album"
I'll leave it there....for now

Well, I'm not laughing at you at all! More like laughing with you! I think you've now completed my last post!
The first two long players by The Shadows of Knight - Gloria (1966) + Back Door Men (1967) on Dunwich are definitely top contenders for best garage album (with songs like 'I got my mojo workin', 'Light Bulb Blues', 'I Just Want To Make Love To You' and of course their version of 'Gloria' by Them) 'I’m Gonna Make You Mine' (on Back Door Men) is probably one of thee GREATEST garage tracks of all time!

I'll never be able to hold my head up high here at the Hideout!! Yessss! of course!
The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators (****)
You're Gonna Miss Me
Roller Coaster

Monkey Island
Tried To Hide

....*slaps face continually till you all refresh the page*

Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators... come on now, You're Gonna Miss Me, Roller Coaster, Tried to Hide etc. etc...

I'll also agree with the Mummies- Never Been Caught
Black Lips- Let it Bloom
The Stooges-Fun House

Laugh all ya want, but the Shadows of Knight's 'Gloria' is pretty much my fave....

Can't really argue with Gra Fiend.
#1 The Sonics - Boom (****) 4 star work of genius
Some very honorable mentions must go to:
The Seeds - Seeds (1st LP) & Web of Sound
The Music Machine - Turn On The Music Machine (although not all cuts are brilliant or original) + Bonniwell's Music Machine (Eagle never hunts the fly,Double Yellow Line,etc.--brilliant!)
The Remains - The Remains 1966 (****) you have to give this record 4 stars!!
The Count V - Psychotic Reaction (although in my opinion about 50% of the LP is truly brilliant)
The Electric Prunes - I had too much to dream last night
The Outsiders (Dutch) - The Outsiders (first LP) drummer blows my fucking mind!
The Monks - Black Monk Time (I would have a hard time arguing that this record doesn't deserve the #1 position)
Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era 1972 (but it's a comp.)
Of course I assume we are talking about the golden age garage albums (1965-1968)? This discussion would be meaningless otherwise (in my opinion). And we are talking about full LP's, right? I think that is important and really narrows down the field. So many bands recorded genius singles/songs. I could type all night about one-off songs. A full LP is the way to find the best of the best. Thanks for asking.
Gringo.

I find it hard to ignore the self titled Supercharger LP, and Sonics Boom and Never Been Caught are also up there for me.

I guess it really depends on what mood I'm in.

THE SONICS - BOOM - No contest

However you may also want to list:
BACK FROM THE GRAVE Pick your own fav they are all fantastic - way more Garage punk than the Nuggets or Pebbles series
THE BEST OF PEBBLES Vol1 - GET PRIMITIVE - Love all three volumes but Vol1 is the cream of the garage from the pebbles series (The only one which is as close to BFTG).
GARAGE PUNK UNKNOWNS BOX SET- Yeah it's a box set but each individual album is a killer
TEENAGE SHUTDOWN - Jump Jive and Harmonize - Vol1 is still my fav of the series.
THE MUMMIES - Never Been Caught - They changed the scene and set the standard -God like album (yeah I know it's their second album but I prefer it to the first one and I'm refering to the band here)
SONGS WE TAUGHT THE FUZZTONES - Bit cheating as it's two albums - both amazing

All the above should be voted for

Reatards Teenage Hate

The Nuggets box set (Volume 1, Rhino Records) is magical, but is IS 4 CDs, thus way too vast to be considered an "album."

So I'll vote for Sam the Sham & The Pharoahs' Their Second Album, the one with "Ju Ju Hand" and great covers of R&B and blues tunes including slow and greasy classics "Magic Touch" and "The Gypsy." Most the tunes had themes of magic, withcraft and voodoo. And it had a great cover (later used for at least one greatest hits compilation) that showed the band gathered around a cauldron with dry-ice smoke and a stuffed baby alligator.

Haha yah I noticed that too a few weeks back playing it at a party. That game can get pretty intense after a few pops.

Unfortunately, no one wanted to do the Konks song with me... they wanted to do that Oasis tune. What the hell is that!?

Hey Fuzzheads,
I want to hear your opinion on what/where/when the BEST garage music festivals are, both in the US and Europe. I want to give some FREE Knights of Fuzz DVDs and other garage goodies away at a a couple of the best ones -- so I want to hear what ya'll think.

(New Marshmallow Overcoat video up at the myspace page soon, btw.)

FUZZ IT!
--The Guru of Garage

...and think of all the great shows they're missing out on. They're deprived of Brad X for crying out loud!:)

<<Those kooky dreams could turn into sonic nightmares.>>

Happens all the time.

By the way, enjoyed hearing The Dickies' "Gigantor" on your last one. (I wasn't dreaming that was I?)

... I'm listening to Florida Rocks again at this very moment. Often I play it while I sleep because it gives me kooky dreams.

Maybe this place is attracting fugitives from the law looking for a "hideout." Indeed, Gringo might be right that the term podcast isn't as well known as one might assume. Some might think you can only hear then on iPods -- and there are still a lot of folks who don't have iPods. I do have a pod, but the main way I listen to the podcasts is on the feedcast player. I'm listening to Florida Rocks again at this very moment. Often I play it while I sleep because it gives me kooky dreams.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. A few of us are trying to steer these folks in the right direction. I even commented on this phenomenon on my podcast a couple of episodes back. I can imagine that quite a few people Google garage punk, though. I did it just now and this is what I get: 1. GaragePunk Podcast 2. Garagepunk.com Forums (garagepunk.com/forums/) 3. Garage Punk at Wikipedia 4. Garage Rock at Wikipedia 5. The GaragePunk Hideout (!) .....Well, if I didn't know better and had to take a pick The GaragePunk Hideout sounds pretty fucking cool! Gonna check that shit out....but on the other hand, a podcast is music, right? Garage Punk music or Garage Punk Hideout? Hmmm.....I'm torn! It could also be that the term 'Podcast' is not as well known as we think... --Professor Gringo

It blows my mind how many people are joining the Hideout that have never heard the GaragePunk Podcast. I set this network up for fans of the website and the podcasts that we produce (and have produced for almost three years now), yet day after day after day we get people signing up here who answer the "Favorite GaragePunk Podcast" question in their profiles with question marks or "what's a podcast?" or some such confusion. So if you guys aren't finding the Hideout via the main site (GaragePunk.com obviously), then how the hell are you finding us? I would seriously really like to know...

He was by far the craziest, most energetic and most all-around bitchen acts I saw at this festival in Chicago. It was so frenzied, I was exhausted by the end. And it's not just because I'm an old fart. My son was exhausted too. If you ever have the chance to see King Khan live, DO IT!
