i gotta say tho, compilations no matter how cool or legendary shouldn't really count as albums.

Exactly!

[IDON MINE]

I wanna throw in the some originators from the previous era's:

A couple a BO DIDDLEY albums,
some by LITTLE RICHARD,
some of ESQUERITA,

and some spins by the TIMELES Haze.

It's out of the Genre, but without those (and a whole big bunch of others and their Albums swarming) = NO GARAGEROCK.

LOVE,
IDON

wow so many great albums to check out mentioned here.

i want to put forward the gories - i know you're fine...
it's definitely one of my favorites.

i gotta say tho, compilations no matter how cool or legendary shouldn't really count as albums.

I don't know if I can agree with that last statement. Except for the fact that Have Love, Will Travel got left off for some reason, and The Witch sounds attrocious, I really dig FULL FORCE by the Sonics from 1984 over HERE ARE and BOOM and I don't think you can go wrong with SURELY, THEY WERE THE SONS OF GOD with 16 Mighty Caesar tracks for a Crypt comp. Everything everyone here has chosen is a great garage album and makes me feel proud. But you did forget to mention either HOWL or HUNGER by the Makers. But that's alright. It's hard to get use to what they did to themselves over the years.

I tried to put together a list of 60's/70's US/Canadian garage albums that are worthwhile or mostly good.

Favorite post 60's/70's garage punk/punk album? The Wipers - Youth Of America (1981)

[Rockin Rod Strychnine]

"The Buckinghams - King of a Drag (1967)"

You're right. The Buckinghams were King of a Drag. But the rest of that album is pretty good indeed.

Dead Moon - Strange Pray Tell

[Cyco Sanchez]

Hi!

A Medwayband that's almost forgotten and definitely shouldn't be:

THE KRAVIN' "A"'S - Krave On

As if the early Beatles and the dirtiest Sonics had written their best songs together.

And by the way, if anybody wants to get rid of the vinyl of this...
