The Boys-The Boys
The Boys made arguably one of the best LPs of the 70s with their self-titled first album and provided the template for superior Pop Punk before even the Buzzcocks had got out of first gear.-Last.FM
Gee thanks Last.Fm, they really couldn't of summed it up better. This a fantastic album and a must download for those who love The Adverts, 999, The Vibrators and The Undertones.

MC5-High Time
This is the unloved MC5 album that made no money and forced Atlantic to drop them. Give it a listen....
- "Sister Anne" (7:23)
- "Baby Won't Ya" (5:32)
- "Miss X" (5:08)
- "Gotta Keep Movin'" (3:24)
- "Future/Now" (6:21)

- "Skunk (Sonicly Speaking)" (5:31)
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant-Collection
I'm beginning to think most of my uploads are must owns (except for that 2000 Specials album) but anyway, this is a must own. If you like Guitar Wolf you pretty much have to like TMGE and vice versa. They go together like peanut butter and jelly (or lamb and tuna fish, harharhar). Anyway if you're wondering why the name is so weird it's because of a mispronunciation of The Damned 'Machine Gun Etiquette'...makes sense right?
- "Pinhead Cramberry Dance"
- "Young Jaguar"
- "Hi! China"
- "Smokin' Billy"
- "Lily"
- "Out Blues"
- "Why Do You Want To Shake?"
- "Blue Nylon Shirts (From Balcony)"
- "Black Tambourine"
- "Boogie"
- "The Birdmen"
- "Baby, Please Go Home"
- "Vibe On!"
- "Revolver Junkies"
- "World's End (Primitive Version)
- "GT 400"
- "Cisco"
Screamin Jay Hawkins-The Blues Collection
This is another must download. Screamin Jay Hawkins is a master of his very own brand of overly theatrical rock n roll/blues/r&b that ever existed. Before the garage revolution, Jay was putting out albums that blew everyone else out of the water. If you like Bo Diddley, Carl Perkins, Jackie Wilson and a little bit of Little Richard, you'll love Screamin Jay.

Spiderbait-Tonight Alright
Spiderbait. I've always seen them as a classic rock revival band along the lines of Wolfmother and Jet but other people have their opinions. With plenty of punk rock, garage and psychedelic influences, these fucked up Australians have been hitting the charts with their music. This album contains the ultra hit 'Black Betty'(originally done by the underrated southern rock band Ram Jam) as well as the garage pop hit, 'Fucken Awesome'. Give this album a listen, but don't forget the Miller Lite.

Don't expects The Hives, The Sonics, or International Noise Conspiracy..no this is R&B and psychedelic influenced down tempo-garage rock. For fans of The Bellrays, The Crimson Shadows, Screamin Jay Hawkins and early Fuzztones.

Art Pepper-Meets The Rhythm Section
Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section is a 1957 jazz album by saxophonist Art Pepper playing with Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, who at the time were the rhythm section for Miles Davis's quintet.
According to legend, the album was recorded under enormous pressure: Pepper first learnt of it on the morning of the recording session, had never met the other musicians (though he admired them all), hadn't played for two weeks (according to the liner notes) or six months (according to Pepper's autobiography Straight Life), was playing on an instrument in a bad state of repair, and was suffering from a drug problem. (This story is clearly unreliable: the discography in Straight Life reveals, for instance, that he had recorded many sessions in the previous weeks, including one just five days before.) Whatever the truth of the recording's circumstances, it is considered a milestone in Pepper's career, and launched a series of albums for Les Koenig's Contemporary label which remain the cornerstone of Pepper's recorded work.
- "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To" (Porter) –5:30
- "Red Pepper Blues" (Garland) –3:39
- "Imagination" (Burke–VanHeusen) –5:56
- "Waltz Me Blues" (Chambers–Pepper) –2:58
- "Straight Life" (Pepper) –4:02
- "Jazz Me Blues" (Delaney) –4:50
- "Tin Tin Deo" (Fuller–Pozo) –7:42
- "Star Eyes" (DePaul–Raye) –5:12
- "Birks Works" (Gillespie) –4:15
Oingo Boingo-Only A Lad
Kerry Hatch could come up with. 'Nasty Habits', 'Little Girls' and 'Only A Lad' have the trademarked Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo cabaret like choral sections (you can hear early shades of Nightmare Before Christmas sing alongs in most of the tracks), while 'Perfect System' and 'Controller' still manage to scare even the most free minded with their frequent time signatures. This album should be the starting point for new Oingo listeners...maybe.
Oh yea, The Kinks cover kind of ruins the album from being completely perfect, it's a decent cover but sometimes i skip over it.
"Perfect System" — 3:46
"On The Outside" — 3:39
"Capitalism" — 3:40
"You Really Got Me" (Ray Davies) — 4:40
"Only A Lad" — 3:56
"What You See" — 3:43
"Controller" — 3:24
"Imposter" — 2:59
"Nasty Habits" — 4:06

Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution-A Call To Arms
The Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, or BOTAR, is a musical collective of a varying and undefinable genre which includes influences from ska, punk, classical and eastern-European style music. It is composed of former Catch 22 members Tomas Kalnoky and Jamie Egan, in addition to Nick Afflitto, Marcy Ciuffreda, Rachel Goldstein, Layton Hayes, John Paul Jones, Achilles Kalnoky, Paul Lowndes, Chris Paszik, Mark Rendeiro, Dan Ross, Pete Sibilia, Shane Thomson, and Natalia Ushak. Unlike other quasi-similar bands of today, which combine primarily ska and punk, BOTAR uniquely blends in a bit of classical music, taking the form of an entirely acoustic ensemble.
- "Intro: This Is a Call to Arms" – 1:22
- "Here's to Life" – 5:18
- Kalnoky originally wrote this while still in Catch 22, who performed the song live but never recorded it.This song was later covered by a related project, Streetlight Manifesto, on their first album, Everything Goes Numb.
- "Dear Sergio:" – 3:04
- This is a reworking of a song Kalnoky originally wrote for the band Catch 22. It includes an additional verse that was not in Catch 22's original song.
- "It's a Wonderful Life" – 4:56
- "They Provide The Paint For The Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint On The Insides Of Your Eyelids" – 3:39

Adrenalin OD-The Wacky Hi Jinks Of... Plus AOD Bonus 7"
"Middle-aged Whore" on Wacky Hi-Jinks was, according to the back cover, "recorded in our underwear." Musically, however, AOD is no joke, a fact immediately apparent from "A.O.D. vs Godzilla," the killer stun-guitar instrumental that opens the album. Again, however, muddy production buries the vocals, spewing funny, satiric lyrics in fuzzy speedrock, leaving incisive numbers like "White Hassle" (alienation at the Castle) and the sketchy "Rock & Roll Gas Station" half of what they might have been.-Trouser Press
