Garage Punk

by Raul

Seems that lately a lot of you have wised up and started to pay attention to garage punk. Raw, high-energy rock ‘n’ roll influenced by the fashion of the Beatles, the swagger of the Stones and the distortion of the Kinks. Luckily for us, there are plenty of collections to satisfy your craving and keep you from spending an arm and a leg on original pressings—if you could even find any.

Believe me, there are so many of these collections out there and a majority of them are definitely worth owning, but other than the obvious Nuggets collections here is a list, in no particular order, of my five favorite series.
