#NowPlaying Blue Cheer's 'Vincebus Eruptum' from 1968. Thanks to @wendigo for tipping me off to this. I think I'd heard a cover of Summertime Blues but never this whole record. It's rad as FUCK. Like a more psych Sonics or almost Kinks, with some great, extreme fuzz too- bluesy psych rock or "acid rock". Mudhoney definitely took a cue or two from these guys, too. A KILLER listen.

Was #listening to #PBSNewsHour from last night and I was turned on to #Death, an African-American #PunkRock band, but considered #ProtoPunk because they were ahead of their time compared to other #punk bands according to the Newshour.

Put this album on just now and my mind is blown at how good this is! Not surprising that #PoC musicians are amazing, but this blew away my already high expectations! You have to give this a listen if you haven't!

Love – s/t (1966, US)

Our next spotlight is on number 1043 on The List, submitted by mark_ohe. This debut album opens with a wild Burt Bacharach cover, and then Arthur Lee's fantastic voice keeps taking you places that require the volume to continuously be turned up. If you love love (and proto-punk, and the High Fidelity soundtrack), you might just love Love's "Love"!

In this day and age, it might be nigh on impossible to imagine or even fathom just how pivotal MC5 truly were. Inhabiting a musical landscape that laid somewhere between raw garage rock and fierce proto-punk, these Detroit-based rebels essentially spearheaded a new movement […]
