Gun to your head, what garage album would you pick to be the greatest of all time? (from any era, but not including comps).

I guess it's obvious, but I'd have to go with The Sonics - Boom

 i AGREE ABOUT the monks , But , it's hard to say....

? AND THE MYSTERIANS - "96 TEARS"

BLUES MAGOOS "ELECTRIC COMIC BOOK"

ANY AND ALL SONICS ALBUMS (I KNOW , IT'S OBVIOUS...)

ANY OF THE BROOD'S ALBUMS , ESP.  "VENDETTA"

Cynics - "Rock'n'Roll" , "Get Our Way" , "Living is The Best Revenge"

Fleshtones - Their worst beats these more popular punk ass kids' best , but , I'd say , "Blast - Off!" , "mORE tHAN sKIN dEEP " , "fLESHTONES vS. rEALITY" , First two albums , and even their first , apparently loathed , EP .

SEEDS - "tHE sEEDS" ,  "Web of Sound"

Electric Prunes - "Underground" , "Live in Stockholm , 1967".

Shadows of Knight "Back Door Men" , "LIVE AT tHE cELLAR cLUB", Hell , even the live in 72 CD is pretty good , if you can handle some Brownsville Station Bubble Gum Metal Punk

Love - same.

13th Floor ELEVATORS "The Psychedelic Sounds of....."  You may say it's more Psych than Garage . It's more important to try to picture what it sounded like to people in 1966.

The Lollipop Shoppe - "Just Colour".

Los Saicos - same. I think....

The Pets (Venezuela)

First two Troggs (UK) albums. They're an American band , damn it , just as the monks were a German band.

The Cramps "Psychedelic Jungle" still sounds like the Thang...

Oh yea The Monks, just bonkers gear

The Boots "Here are the Boots" German PUNK 66

Them 1st LP

...and Ken Dodd "Tears" ho ho

The Seeds (1st LP)

96 Tears - ? & The Mysterians

Honourable mentions:

Psychotic Reaction - Count 5

Boom - Sonics

You hit it Simon.....The Cramps 'Psychedelic Jungle'.....and The Monks for a 60's garage LP.

The Lyres - "On Fyre" 1984 or The Monks "Black Monk Time" 1966. I also would throw in The Black Lips "Let It Bloom" 2005.

I agree about 'On Fyre.' A great album!

"Psychedelic Sunrise" by the Chesterfield Kings.  I also really like "61/49" by the Romantics.

I also like all of those Cynics' albums that John mentioned earlier, especially "Rock'n'Roll."

Little Bit O'Soul - Music Explosion
On Tour - Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
Their Second Album - Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs

I Know You Fine But How You Doin' - the Gories
Songs the Lord Taught Us - the Cramps
Gruesomania - the Gruesomes
The Kids Are All Square - Thee Headcoats
Dinosaurs - the Sting-Rays

:)

Stay Sick by The Cramps

And I'm glad James mentioned Their Second Album by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs. That was kind of a concept album with songs about magic and voodoo featuring great covers of songs like "I Got My Mojo Working," "Hoochie Koochie Man,"  "Magic Touch," "The Gypsy" and their hit "Juju Hand." Wish I still had that!


And the cover to that Sam the Sham is a scream, too!

If modern-day garage counts (and evidently it does):
I Know You Fine, But How You Doin' - Gories
Blue Dirge - Beguiled
Dear Independence - Blue Van
Live For Buzz - Swingin' Neckbreakers

More sixties gold:
The Remains
I See The Light - Five Americans
Midnight Ride With Paul Revere & the Raiders
