Garage Band Songs

What are some of the greatest "Garage Band" cuts of all time?

 

Anything by the Standells - "Dirty Water" "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White"
Anything by the Chocolate Watchband - "Let's Talk About Girls" "Sweet Young Thing"

There's so many compilations of garage bands on CD. Rhino's Nugget's series is good. Sundazed has been releasing some great garage the last few years, on CD and on vinyl. Your question is so vague, do you want to start collecting? Or, are you just curious about garage bands?

 

There are probably too many to mention......

Count Five - Psychotic Reaction
The Rascals - Come On Up
Litter - Action Woman & I'm a Man
Little Boy Blues - Great Train Robbery
Sparkles - Hipsville 29 B.C

So many more I've still to hear.

 

The EasyBeats...Friday on my Mind
The Seeds...Pushin Too Hard

 

What about the Leaves - Hey Joe???

 

Great track, Sundazed did a great compilation CD. It has all three versions of the leaves "Hey Joe" track. Mono single version, stereo LP version and the mono promo 45 version. All three are separate recordings.

 

To get the real lowdown on this topic, a search of Indie Mike's weekly "This Week's" thread from about 5-6 months ago on garage bands will yield hundreds upon hundreds of titles. But hey, why not do it again? I vote for the Seeds' "Can't Seem To Make You Mine"--WHICH SHOULD BE AVAILABLE [along with the rest of the songs from the first LP] ANY DAY NOW ON HYBRID SACD IN GLORIOUS MONO AND MASTERED BY SH.

Wahoooooo! Another garage band thread!!!!!! Gotta dig through the old crypt, crawl back through the grave, sift through the pebbles, nuggets and journey to tyme to get to that most blueswailing, Yardbirds/Stones wanna-bes we can do it kinda U.S. band sound from late '64 into very early '67. You've stumbled into the right place if you check that thread - heh, mebbe we should revive it....

 

Hey mud - could we reactivate that thread???

 

"Pushin' Too Hard" - The Seeds
"1-2-5" - The Haunted (original single version)
"Talk Talk" - Music Machine
"Dirty Water" - Standells
"96 Tears" - ? and the Mysterians
"Can't Seem to Make You Mine" - The Seeds
"Friday On My Mind" - Easybeats
"Let's Talk About Girls" - Chocolate Watchband
"My Friend Jack" - The Smoke
"Gloria" Shadows of Knight

 

I can do that OR I can merge dis one and dat one. What's yer poison?

Almost anything by The Sonics. But for starters, "Strychnine" and "Psycho". Hard to imagine how the record grooves are able to contain that wild lead singer.

The Teenage Shutdown on Crypt series sound especially fresh. While all the performances are not always in the "classic" garage category, the sound on these releases, esp. the LPs, are stellar. I love the Teen Jangler Blowout LP the most.

 

Im suprised no one has mentioned The Monkees (and The Raiders) "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone", of of the best Garage Stompers ever.

Speaking of the Raiders, I forgot to mention the absolurockin' "Just Like Me." Great leering vocal...

 

Whew - my son and I went to the zoo and was it HOT! After baking my noggin awhile, perhaps mebbe we should just let this thread work for awhile and see what happens...

Great call on The Sonics (my personal fave rave from the Tacoma Terrors is He's Waitin', a killer garage tune). The Big Beat Sonics' comp Psycho Sonic is out - I'm still trying to find it as it's sourced from 2 track session tapes for about half the songs. Alec Palao, evil mastermind behind the upgrade sez Mod Lang near Berkely has 'em - I've got an A.P.B. out to them via email - I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin' for dat disc!!!!!!!!!!!

 

"The Witch" ain't nuthin' but killer, too!

 

Indy, okay by me and there's at least a link to your original thread.

Cool off, have an iced tea, crank up the air.

Heckfire - the whole Etiquette output for The Sonics is MUST HAVE!!!! I have gotta get my grubby paws on that new Big Beat set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

"Mystic Eyes" Them (killer Jimmy Page guitar work)
