The Monkees
K-Tels 22 Explosive Hits
5-6 Four Seasons singles that my parents bought me at a discount store,
probably by mistake
(Dody, Beggin', NoSurfin' Today, Dawn, Let's Hang On, etc.)
Dick Hyman - The Man From O.R.G.A.N.
Paul Revere and the Raiders - Featuring Mark Lindsay/Herman's Hermits -
Museum (Tie)
and a little later: Kansas
Those are from the period before I began to play. Though they remain
influential (especially on my bass playing) I soon added these to the list:
The Beatles
The Beach Boys
The Byrds
The Band
The Who
The Clash
The Strawbs
all of whom I was too young to get the first time around
and then:
Tonio K
Kraftwerk
Garland Jefferies
Once I started working in college radio in the 80's the floodgates opened:
Del Lords, Long Ryders, Del Fuegos, Ramones, 54-40, The Bongos, The dBs, The
Hoodoo Gurus, The Blasters, The Sex Pistols, The Bus Boys, Katrina and the
Waves, The English Beat, Madness, Joe Jackson, The Lyres, PIL, The
Residents, The Talking Heads (for a while, anyway), Smokin' Dave and the
Premo Dopes.
Um, that's more than five.
