What was THE record that got you hot for garage rock 'n' roll?

[Joey Fuckup]

For me, it was finding my mother's 45 rpm of the Standells' "Dirty Water"...then I heard Paul Revere & the Raiders on oldies radio with "Kicks" and ? and the Mysterians' "96 Tears"...the Outsiders' "Time Won't Let Me" came afterwards...sure they're well known, but it started the catalyst...can't forget the Dave Clark Five's "I Like It Like That"...which led to the Fleshtones....

bought Nuggets somewhere around 1975..I couldn't get the sounds outta my head..been looking for these records ever since...

I am only 17,so i wasn't even close to the 60's garage era.For me pebbles vol.3,the acid gallery did the work.

I was a young lad too when I was jammin' to oldies radio with Music Explosions' "A Little Bit O Soul", the Troggs' "Wild Thing", and Los Bravos' "Black Is Black"...and the only Stones I care to listen to is their '60's discography...The first Fleshtones' release I bought was "Hexbreaker"...

When I think about it, the first 'garage' tune that got me onto rock'n'roll in general is Surfin' bird by the thrashmen. I heard it when I was 6 or 7, it was on a k-tel 'silly' songs comp. It was craazzzzy! Still my fav tune of all time! Then, I was a metal head for a looong time. The record that made me sell ALL my metal cd's (200 +) is 'Never been caught' by the Mummies. That record changed my life. period.

Yes!  "Surfin' Bird" was always on those K-Tel "Silly Song" comps!  Hmmm....so maybe that was it for me to!

"Electric Sweat" by the Mooney Suzuki in 2001 or 2002.

I think for me it was The cramps "Smell of Female."  It's the first record I can remember setting me to look for old records/songs.

"Electric Sweat" is a great album all around in my opinion!

How Many Times by The Rovin Flames was the first to make me realise the lyrics were so important. I started off with Chocolate Watchband, Standells and then onto pebbles and Back From The Grave. Listening to Them (Van Morrison) and Troggs also pushed me to that sound. Also a garage mod band The Prisoners and  of course Billy Childish sealed the deal for me on Garage Punk.

"Are You Gonna Be There" by The Chocolate Watchband!!!! So raw and dirty, instantly drew me in to garage. Then other standards like "You're Gonna Miss Me" 13th Floor Elevators and "Journey To The Center of the Mind" by the Amboy Dukes. Haven't looked back since and still love discovering new gems!

[Joey Fuckup]

So many folks got turned on to classic stuff because of the Cramps' covers!

It's what I loved about the Nuggets boxed set, some of those tunes I had never heard before because the shitty oldies station didn't play these classics!
