The Cynics "Rock and Roll" is my favourite album, bar none....and the first 2 and a half Lyres albums are hard to beat.

I'll throw another one out for the hell of it: STAY SICK by The Cramps. I know most folks probably like their earlier stuff better, but this has always been my favorite due to "Shortin' Bread," (I've used that one for a radio promo) "All Women Are Bad," "Muleskinner Blues" and especially "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns."
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

I love that you can tell they were so young and enthusiastic, yet have such a snotty quality to them. And they proved just how good cover songs could be. To me Gloria just epitomizes the spirit of that era : ).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!

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....
Dude,
For me this year absolutely Sjock festival in Gierle. With 2 of mine all time favorites The Monsters and The Sonics. I did not know what to expect from a bunch of granddadios, but The Sonics where absolutely fantastic. It 's not about age or trendy outfits or fucking hyped by todays music industries, it's all about a bunch of good songs well preformed by their makers.
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
The first one 'Gene Vincent and the Bluecaps -Blue Gene Bop'; The second one is pretty good too (the one with 'Catman'); Gene Vincent has some great records up to the end of his life; 'Bird doggin', the song and album is the most garagey one;it has been reissued a couple of times through the years so you can find it a cheap price; Bop it up!
I only have volume 1; fun stuff, 'hurtin' kind' and 'melvin' being best songs fro mah muney, huney;
Ricky Nelson is god-like!
The Blues Magoos 'We ain't got nothing' is great too but
Ricky Nelson's 'Summertime' and almost any other of his songs :Wow!
Warm week end;
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!?
...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?)

Better be careful. Those kooky dreams could turn into sonic nightmares.Maybe this place is attracting fugitives from the law looking for a "hideout."
... 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...
