Even if your not in a band, I'm curious to know what you think would be the best garage rock song to open a show with. It can be from any era, just pick one that will really set the mood for a rocking show. I'm hoping to find some songs I haven't heard yet. My pick is, DEVIL DOGS - BIG FUCKING PARTY!

The one I would END the set with, would be a ten minute jam medley of Louie Louie/Wild Thing. They just blend together perfectly, as they do have the same chord proggresion. Just imporvise and jam that thing like, pardon my french, a crazed motherfucker.
my old band used to open with Pipeline.. great song to start with - but all downhill after that!!
"Garage rock" song? I'm starting to really despise that term. It's just way too contrived and too limiting. After all, any band can take any song (any genre) and cover it, and turn it into something that's completely unique and their own, and open a set with that. Why does it have to be a "garage rock" song?
ahhh...Northern Sky...wait, wait,....I, Spoiler.
A cool medley that we always opened a show with was "Shes' Not There" (The Zoombies) transitioning into "Black Magic Woman" (Santana). it is up tempo and has alot of energy.

I use the term "garage rock" because that's what I am interested in, I like melody in my music. Most punk bands tend to scream the lyrics and don't work very hard on the melody. It's just a style thing for me, I'm trying to limit the answers to that style. I'm sorry you despise the term, but garage is the first word in the name of your website. My band was thinking about learning a cover to open a show with, I just wanted to get some ideas for songs that I may have never thought about before.
