Crime were part of the first wave of San Francisco punk. There's amazing footage available of them playing a concert at San quentin in full cop uniforms!

Should have also mentioned earlier - Blue Phantom - Distortions [a bit like Modulo 1000 but not quite as alien] Pappo's Blues - Volume 3 [Argentina] Parson Sound - s/t [Sweden] Pax - Este Disco Debe Ser Tocado Al Maximo De Volumen!

Sure it's different to the debut, and not 100% full of great songs, but I reckon most of it is awesome. I don't come anywhere near to agreeing with Julian on this one.

T2 - It'll All Work Out In Boomland; s/t [UK] Tapiman - s/t [Spain] Tarantula - 2 [Spain][haven't heard the other albums] Tarkus - s/t [Peru][this is some raw & nasty shit!] Taste - s/t; Live at the Isle of Wight [Ireland] Tear Gas - s/t [UK] Thin Lizzy - s/t [ok, only a small number of heavy tracks, but man, are they good!]; Shades of a Blue Orphanage [not much heaviness - great album though]; Vagabonds of the Western World [Ireland] Third Power - Believe [US] Third World War - s/t [UK] Three Man Army - A Third of a Lifetime; Mahesha; Two [UK][the recently released '3' is not nearly as good as any of these, still not bad though] Thundermug - Strikes [Canada][when is someone gonna reissue this band's stuff? An unfairly ignored band] Thunderpussy - Documents of Captivity [US] Thunder and Roses - King of the Black Sunrise [US] Ticket - Let Sleeping Dogs Lie [New Zealand][first album 'Awake' is great but less hard rock, more psych... beware the cd bootleg which claims to have both albums, as it doesn't actually contain 'Awake' at all, even though it lists the right tracks on the back, and what exactly the first half of the cd is remains a mystery to me] Tiger B. Smith - Tiger Rock [Germany] Toad - s/t; Tomorrow Blue; B.U.F.O. [Switzerland] Totty - s/t [US] Tractor - s/t [UK] Trapeze - Medusa [UK] Truth and Janey - No Rest For The Wicked; Erupts! [US] UFO - 1; 2; Live [UK] Unison - s/t [US] Up - Killer Up! [US] Uriah Heep - Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble [UK] Variations - Nador [France][I disagree with Seth Man and wouldn't recommend their second album, 'Take It Or Leave It'] Vavoura Band - Live: The Early Days [Greece] Virus - Revelation [much more psychedelic/progressive]; Thoughts [this is the heavier one] [Germany] Vox Dei - La Biblia [Argentina] Warhorse - s/t [UK][second album 'Red Sea' is patchier, but still has some good stuff] Warpig - s/t [Canada] West, Bruce & Laing - s/t; Live 'N' Kickin' [US/UK] White Lightning - Strikes Twice [US] White Witch - s/t [US][patchy for sure, but some really good stuff here; haven't heard the second album] The Who - Live At Leeds [UK] Wicked Lady - The Axeman Cometh; Psychotic Overkill [UK][again, patchy, but some pretty good stuff to be had] Wildfire - Smokin' [US] Wind - Seasons [Germany] Johnny Winter - Second Winter [US] Wishbone Ash - s/t [UK] Yu Grupa - s/t [Yugoslavia?][I'm referring to the '73 self-titled - there's also another self-titled by these guys, which I haven't heard] Zakkarias - s/t [UK][not really too heavy, but worth checking out] Zarathustra - s/t [Germany] Zior - s/t; Every Inch A Man [UK] Zipper - s/t [UK] Zolar X - Timeless [US] ZZ Top - Tres Hombres [US] Now, I'm not claiming this is a definitive list, just the better stuff from what I've heard, and leaving out a few things that might have been appropriate but are more of a fully-fledged progressive rock thing [ie. there's some great heavy rockin' on the first Gnidrolog album, but by and large it's not a heavy rock album - great though it is!] Also I don't know if I've gone too broad and maybe a lot of this won't really interest Ben who started off the thread. Anyway, I found it hard to hold back ;-)

Lately, I've been groovin' to some early proto metal with blatant lyrics about shooting up. Not that I'm a big heroin enthusiast, but the shit sounds so much meaner and white trashier with junk lyricism over killer feedback, fuzz and wah wah. Please check out: Lincoln Street Exit- "Drive It" 1970 Raven- "Back to Ohio Blues" 1975 Bulbous Creation- "You Won't Remember Dying" 1970 These albums are simultaneously hilarious and depressing; two factors, which in my opinion, are the fundamentals of great rock and roll. *The entirety of the Lincoln Street Exit album strangely reminds me of the later half of the MC5- True Testimonial documentary when everything starts falling apart. Very weird.

I hope you don't end up buying anything that you don't like, I don't want to lead anyone up the wrong path! Enjoy!

zphage wrote: this is a GREAT list! It is indeed. What's more, if you're sufficiently interested in this genre to want to hear some of the more lo-fi examples that didn't get picked up on by any of the majors at the time, I'd have to elaborate on George Brigman's brilliant "Jungle Rot", (already listed, but not described, by achuma) and add "Microminiature Love" by the Michael Yonkers Band. Both have somewhat of a Blue Cheer/Stooges/Groundhogs vibe - the latter being particularly apparent on the George Brigman album - but were both recorded cheaply and - in the case of "Jungle Rot"- self-released, whilst "Microminiature Love" didn't get an official release until the noughties (on SubPop) despite having been recorded in 1968. In fact, I think the subterranean territory of home releases that didn't get widely distrubuted until decades later probably deserves a seperate thread, but I'm too busy to start one right now. One day...
