Pretty good list.
great! that´s so humiliating!
Nothing off Estrus?
Foxboro Hot Tubs!
Wait no Foxboro Hot Tubs? How can you make a list of garage rock albums and not have the most garaged out album of the year? Come on Foxboro Hot Tubs was an awesome disc, even if it was garage’s Chris Gaines.
No Eddy Current Suppression Ring? No Thee Oh Sees?
You disappoint me, AMG.
Also, I love the Thomas Function album but I don’t know if I’d exactly call it “Garage Rock.” I suppose the BOMP affiliation is enough.
because this list has substance…
Pat T.:not Chris Gaines, think Dukes of Stratosphear!
Probably because it’s from Holland and it contained only covers, but Ongeneeslijk Beat by The Madd was pretty cool. And since Q65 is also mentioned. Check em out.
Didn’t you know about new flu revelations? It’s something strange for me, but it seems to be quiet these days.
But anyway, we have the best fle vaccine - enter
