Heavy Blues/Garage Rock
Great!

Wow! Things really started getting HEAVY just the next year in 1964. This shit is wild and definitely to my ears the beginning of the Heavy Blues! The English release. NOT the American one (which I understand is a bit more poppY).

The Rolling Stones and The Kinks got going this year as well, but this shit is just as good AND a bit heavier!

Can anyone think of anything HEAVIER than this in 1964 (or even prior)?!

Garage Rock/Live
Great!

Brothers & sisters! Let me see your hands out 'dere for what is CLEARLY one of The MC5's favorite albums ...

Wow! This is some raw as fuck and in your face Garage Rock. Just fantastic energy. I agree that the Manfred Mann debut is more "heavy", but this Yardbirds album definitely rocks out with some proto-punk fury.

British Blues
Great!

.. which may not be HEAVY-iest album of 1964, BUT it may just well be the most BADASS. It's crazy that a debut LP in essentially an entire new genre of music -the British Blues - can sound this assured, nonchalant & COCKY! I don't think I've ever reached this level of I-don't-give-two-fucks ever.

Anyways, I'm surprised with just how amazing this is right out of the gates and this wave of HEAVY British Blues - The Kinks, The Stones, The Yardbirds, Manfred Mann - must have had the same sort of impact in 1964 that Punk had in 1977. Music really had never sounded this badass before!

Also, I think I listened to the English release. It's the one that starts with "Route 66". Anyone have any thoughts on the American vs. British release or are they essentially the same.

Surf Rock from the Philippines!
Good/Great

a really good surf album. Right up there with what The Beach Boys were doing at that time. Very solid & enjoyable! Must be a bit of a cult classic!
