196 - Various Artists - Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era
From garage to beach/surf to psychedelic, this collection of late 60's music was a real delight to listen to. The selections vary enough but maintain cohesion as a snapshot of garage bands during this era.
The album is so much fun! Even the song that sounds like Bob Dylan, I like because the infectious fun coming out of the speakers. Nuggets is an album that any curious rock listener should listen to. Just an amazing collection of raw music.
