You may be right, I might be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you are looking for!

Hey man - I will have to listen to some France Gall . . .
Also (like I said before) need to re-try 13th Floor Elevators. (They got some fans here.)
Thoughts on The Yardbirds? (if any)

Baby Pop
is the place to go for Miss Gall. As for The Yardbirds, I don't really have a definitive favorite album, although I my favorite era is when Jimmy Page first joined on bass.

Roger the Engineer
is their definitive album.
I liked the short-lived Jeff Beck era best - which overlapped a bit with Page's entry.
Thanks for the Miss Gall recommendation.

Agreed, although the post-Beck last-legs with Page taking over looks pretty formidable from the footage I've seen.
Normal Is A Myth.

Lovecraft!
I admit it: I should be more familiar with The Seeds - especially since garage is my bag.

[fgadmin]

cryptoflovecraft — 9 years ago(November 24, 2016 08:08 PM)

Hey man.
I'm sure you're already familiar with The Seeds' two big singles, "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem To Make You Mine". They're great singles, of course, but the albums are definitely worth checking out. My favorite 60s garage bands are the Elevators, Seeds and Standells. early Stones, too, if they count as "garage rock".

Hey man - finally getting back to you.
Yeah - familiar with the Seeds singles.
Will look into the albums.

Hey Man!
I did not think about that Bobby Darin album although I am fan.
(He is one of those artists I mentally place in the "singles" category - whether fairly or not.)
Will give a listen . . .

Actually, I think Cat's album is '67.

Great list as always. (I was wondering if you were going with Dylan or Beatles for the #1 spot.)

[fgadmin]

NJtoTX — 9 years ago(November 24, 2016 09:34 AM)

Shoot, don't know how that's there. I already had it in 1967, though a lot farther down.

[fgadmin]

Yeah . . the album IS much better in '66.

Hey, man.
What do you consider the best Kinks studio album?
For me they never delivered a consistent album. Love many of their songs tho'.
Something Else
comes closest imo . . .

Probably Village Green, with Lola right behind it.

Henry_Swizzlesticks_the_Second — 9 years ago(November 24, 2016 09:56 AM)

Hey Muckle
Hmm.
Pet Sounds
This must be whispered: I really don't enjoy that album with the exception of 2-3 great songs.
I read the books. Saw the movie. But still . . .

Revolver
the greatest Beatles? What say ye?
