The GaragePunk Hideout

GaragePunk.com's Social Network

A buddy of mine (on the hideout as the crypt keeper) wanted to start this discussion but his computer crashed so here goes... Best garage/punk cover songs, give your top three, top five, top twenty...whatever. Let's just try to avoid some of the more obvious ones (i.e. Hey Joe, Gloria) or hell, I wanna know your favorites and if they fall in there then so be it..

Here's a couple of mine... starting with one of my all time favorites...

1. Preachin' the Blues- Gun Club (Robert Johnson)
2. I'm Down- The Mummies (Beatles)
3. Psycho- The Swamp Rats (Sonics)
4. Strychnine- The Cramps (Sonics)
5. Jack the Ripper- One Way Streets (Lord Sutch)
6. Like a Rolling Stone- The Soup Greens (Dylan)

I was listening to Little Richard's Version of "Settin' The Woods on Fire" over and over again yesterday... So that's gotta be up there.

I'll second The Saints "River Deep Mountain high" as well as their version of Connie Francis's "Lipstick On Your Collar"

The Fleshtones: Treat Her Like A Lady (Cornelious Brothers and Sister Rose)
The Dickies: Paranoid (Sabbath)
Handsome Dick Manitoba: Ju Ju Hand (Sam The Sam & The Pharoahs from Turban Renewal Tribute album)
All of the classic rock songs the replacements only make it a quarter of the way through on "The Shit Hits The Fans"

way back in 1966 "96 Tears" was played to death on WMEX in Boston. It was ingrained on my 10-year-old brain. In high school in the early to mid 70s, I got made fun of by the teen cognosenti because the music I dug "wasn't complicated enough" I was v…
