GREAT set! I'm having fun finding the youtube of certain songs from the list (and some just because of the cool name). I've yet to not find one...and most are under the Nuggets label. Love the genre...top 5 for me.

I have Nuggets and its an interesting listen even though I consider it as much garage rock as psychedelic rock it bills itself as. Also of interest is the some of the groups had future stars in them. Nazz's lead guitarist is Todd Rundgren. Amboy Dukes guitarist is everybody's favorite rock conservative/crazy Ted Nugent. And the Golliwogs and their awful song "Fight Fire" became (with no personnel changes) the great Creedence Clearwater Revival. There are a lot of songs I like but my two favorite are probably the Dylan-like numbers "A Public Execution" (which totally rips off "Like a Rolling Stone") and Syndicate of Sound's "Little Girl", which doesn't sound like any particular Dylan song but the sneering vocal delivery is classic Bob. The Leaves version of Hey Joe is good, but pales in comparison to the now more famous Jimi Hendrix version. Although at the time the Leaves version charted at 31 while Hendrix's version didn't chart at all. Anyway good stuff.

This is what I listened to as a teen, in my paisley shirts and bell bottom pants; with $10 ditch weed. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4ya9_SQCEro" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The Sir Douglas Quintet is from Texas... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qgcmEUvdBl4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I always had a weak spot for Paul Revere and the Raiders. This is an awesome video on so many levels... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TjqLVy_H7mo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Another good song from the list along with Ginger and Mary Anne... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S8rCy173y7Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can't listen to this type of music while driving; doesn't sound right. To truly enjoy it I have to be listening to it at home bon scott <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hZY2nl2CwLc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
A great band, formed out of the ashes of Iron Butterfly (who I saw in concert), Deep Purple (ditto) and Johnny Winter's band (likewise ditto). I saw them at the Houston Music Hall on Saturday Oct 21, 1972. They were second billed behind Trapeze. I saw damned near everyone back then. Great thread! I probably forgot some, but here's some groups from that LP that I saw in concert. The Electric Prunes The Standells The Blues Project The Seeds The Castaways The 13th Floor Elevators The Count Five The Amboy Dukes Blues Magoos The Nazz The Music Machine The Turtles Strawberry Alarm Clock The Outsiders The Seeds Paul Revere & the Raiders Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band The Sir Douglas Quintet Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
As huge of a dead fan as I am I must admit I'm not all that familiar w a lot of the genre... That said I consider the dead the greatest American rock band in history. I'll def Check this out.

Easily one of my favorite bands of the past 5 years or so... Def some psychedelia in their material but make no mistake their live shows are the epitome of garage rock, almost punk. Their show at the Bowery ballroom in NYC a couple years ago was as fun of a show as I've ever been to.
Man, always wanted to see them live, heard they do some crazy ****, the thing is I'm the kind of person who doesn't really participate much when it comes to live shows, yep wallflower over here
