Favorite 45s

[triggahiccups]

I have been buying 45s like crazy lately and would love to know what everyone's favorites are. Personally, I can't stop listening to the Ketamines 'Line by Line' 7". Really great stuff.

Honorable mentions would be GG King - 'Adult Rock' and Thee Ludds - 'Where to Begin'

Post up your favorites new and old.

I'm more interested in picture sleeves than the actual music, I confess. Recently got this one, which I've been looking for forever.

[triggahiccups]

Great find! I agree that the sleeve tends to add the most novelty to a 7" but theres not much fun in looking at a record if you aren't gonna spin it!

Here's a new one I picked up recently. You can only get it on their tour though (at least for the time being). DZ Deathrays have the B-side.

After obsessing over the hilarity of this vid, I finally found the single at the bottom of a crate at the local record shop. Only 3 bucks!

[Last Night]

Underdog by Sly and the family stone 

Liars liars by the castaways

This one gets the most regular spins around my house.

Ever since I was 8-the perfect little pop song:

I found a nice copy of this for about the same price several years ago.

Favorite 45s is such a board question. One day it could be Motorhead - The Bomber, Next day VOM - Live at Surf City, then maybe T-Rex 20th Century Boy, on to K&K -  Quick Joey Small, Bobby Peterson - Mamma Get Your Hammer, Fun Things ep, Small Faces - Lazy Sunday Afternoon, Hollies - Look Through Any Window, Mickey Lee Lane - Hey Sha-Lo-Ney, Lemon Pipers - Jelly Jungle (Of Orange Mamalade).... too many to name.

I definitely think 45s are the best format. And as G. Wood mentioned, I too, unfortunately am obsessed with obtaining picture sleeves, but I am more interested in the music.

Most recently I've been buying bubblegum/ psych, and glam. But that's not to say I over look metal or punk sections.

[triggahiccups]

It's less open ended for me because I mostly just listen to Garage, but I think it's pretty easy after spinning for a while to tell which ones are good and which ones are pure genius.

I have been waiting for this one to come for like two weeks now... why are they doing this to me?

[Tyler]

Saints- One Way Street/Erotic Neurotic

Brides- Pushed Around/Get To You (possibly the best garage punk single of the 90's)

Teengenerate- Plays the Kids

Rip Offs- Make up your mind/Wild Jayne

Time Flys- Energy/PC Action

 

[Matt]

Totally agree with that estimation on the Brides 45. PC Action is my favorite Time Flys song too.

The Fall-Outs rule, noone out there like 'em. Plus, Dave Holmes is just a sweet guy.
