Children Of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era - 1976-1995

[auxiliaryoctopus]

I heard about this recently.

I demand the inclusion of at least 3 E6 representatives!

Actually the artists are not dissimilar at all. They are all garage or psych artists influenced, as you mention, by the groups on the first two Nuggets series. As were much of the E6 collective judging from their stated influences. It was this music that spawned the alternative path of rock so that we weren't stuck with only corporate sponsored watered down prefabricated crap. Against that I'll take Nuggets inspired "shite" any day.

i used to work with this guy who was about 35 or 40 and we both liked lots of hte same 60s music. garage rock, psych stuff, etc. and then he lent me soem of his records from when he was younger, stuff that had been influenced by that music, but made in the late 70 and 80s, and it all souned so horrible! it made me wonder if people in 10 or 20 years will think that e6 and other 60' influenced music made in the 90s ans 2000s is horirblle. all the decadeszzzzz does this make sense?:mad:
i will not buy this item

Fine, you're right. The Cramps and the Bangles are exactly alike.

By the way, I mean "shite" as the colloquialism for "stuff," not literal feces. Sorry to confuse.

Gotcha. And I meant not dissimilar in terms of the theme (which I thought was the point of your original post) being the children of Nuggets, that is these are artists that are influenced by garage and psych, not that they sound exactyl alike.

Right on. Maybe the difference is some indication of the wide influence of the garage rock/psych movement of the 60's on later bands of all styles. Come to think of it, the original 2 Nuggets box sets had quite a wide variety of artists too. It was dominated by The Leaves, Chocolate Watchband, 13th Floor Elevators, Love, Count Five, The Seeds, etc but there were some unexpected inclusions like Lyme and Cybelle, Kim Fowley, Tymon, The Koobas, Rupert's People, and so on. I guess the compilers really try to stretch out the theme as far as it will go.

Also I'd suggest that the timeline for this one (1976-1996?) is a little much for one compilation to reign in. Better to have done an 80's garage revival comp and then a 90's (E6 dominated!!!) comp. Maybe even separate American artists from the UK arists too like in the original Nuggets I and II. That way we can hear the garage revival movement in each area, paisley underground in LA (Three O'Clock, Green on Red, etc), garage revival on the east coast (Chesterfield Kings, Fuzztones, Optic Nerve, et al), psych revival in the U.K. (Soft Boys, Dukes of Stratosphere) and so on. Ah well, I'll take what I can get so I don't have to go out and buy 3,000 separate CDs just to hear some of this stuff. :)
