1. The Alarm Clocks, "Yeah" b/w "No Reason To Complain"

Oh, yes.

[tigereye]

2. Sugar Sugar, The Archies

yes, I'm being an ass, since I was too young to listen to garage bands at that age. All I had were the actual poppy 45s.


carry on.

3. Are The Flamin Groovies considered "garage?"

If so, "Shake Some Action" is great! :thumbsup:

[taterguy]

4. I think that song came out in the 70s

Great song though

[fudge stripe cookays]

5. Crap.

Well, I was born in '66, so I'd a been in diapers, you understand. :-)

6. The Creation "Making Time"

Count Five 'Psychotic Reaction'
The Standells 'Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White'
Flash and the Memphis Casuals 'Uptight Tonight'
The Pretty Things 'Come See Me'

I gotta go to work but I'll throw out The Choir's "It's Cold Outside" and The State Of Mind's "Move"; both classics...

[taterguy]

9. Everything on the Nuggets box set

[Burma Jones]

10. Dirty Water, from the Standells

[Jade Fox]

[johnnie]

13. That's one I was thinking of

Very early punk.

[jpgray]

15. The Music Machine kicks ass!

My fave from them would be "Double Yellow Line"

[silvermachine]

12. Faves

Gonn-Blackout of Greetly
Burgundy Run-Stop
Condello-Goodnight (Actually a rocked-up cover of Incredible String Band's "A Very Cellular Song")
Crystal Chandelier-The Setting of Despair
Missing Lynx-Behind Locked Doors
The Starfires-I Never Loved Her

[jpgray]

20. Good list--haven't yet heard some of those

[silvermachine]

22. Missing Lynx...

...track is unreal. It's on a couple of comps, I have it on "Son Of The Gathering Of The Tribe" which is one of my all-time favorite garage-psych collections. Other classics on it are "Sorcerella" by Jefferson Lee (incredible fuzz bass) and "Mr. Baldi" by the London Fog. Easily one of the most demented comps out there.

[flamingyouth]

14. Bonus points for listing the Balloon Farm

Sonics "The Witch" and "He's Waiting"
Shadows of Knight "Light Bulb Blues" (well, it's a b-side)
The Litter "Action Woman"
Bumps "Please Come Down"
"You Stole My Love" - Mockingbirds
Mr. Lucky & the Gamblers "Take a Look At Me"
Hunger "Colors"
Nobody's Children "Good Times"
The Statics "Tell Me The Truth"
Kenny & the Kasuals "Journey to Tyme"
Swinging Machine "Do You Have to Ask?"

I really could go on all day... :D

[jpgray]

16. Balloon Farm's single is one of my faves of all time

Is that scratching or are they rubbing balloons? :P

[flamingyouth]

17. I think it's balloons - seriously

:D
I also love "Put the Clock Back on the Wall." Well, and so many others. I have all the original Pebbles and Highs in the Mid-Sixties records, as well as a ton of other comps. Like I said, I really could go on all day!

[jpgray]

18. Pebbles rule! There are some great tracks by the Gentlemen on those

[silvermachine]

19. Pretty big local hit...

...in the Cleveland/Youngstown/Western PA area at the time. In fact when I went back home a few years ago, I actually heard it played on one of the local oldies station.

[silvermachine]

21. "He's Waiting..."

...wow, what a classic. They have the original single on the jukebox at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, along with a ton of other cool stuff. The Droogs' version is great also.

[jpgray]

24. Some more

Gentlemen - "It's a Crying Shame"
State of Mind - "Move"
Max Frost & the Troopers "Shape of Things to Come"

[HEyHEY]

25. Poor man

[Lydia Leftcoast]

26. "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen

and a local Twin Cities hit, "Twenty Years Ago," by the T.C. Atlantic. (When you're at the appropriate age to listen to or perform in garage bands, 20 years is an unaimaginably long time.)
