- The Man from H.U.A.C. - Laika & The Cosmonauts
- Surf 49 - Los Straightjackets
- Hotspot - Los Banditos
- Chainsaw Boogie - El Rey
- Transilvanian Orbit - The Space Cossacks
- Me Jirevis - The Treble Spankers
- Fathomized - The Fathoms
- Southern Surf Syndicate Theme - The Penetrators
- Return to the ground zero - Husky And The Sandmen
- Storm Dancer - Jon and the Nightriders
I tried to select 10 track from 10 different bands that are real great in putting a nice melody together with a great and unique sound.
My alltime favorite 'surf' (and much much more) band is without a doubt Laika & The Cosmonauts. In my honest opinion, no surf band comes even close to what they achieved. Superb song writing, very creative, great and unique sound, 4 top notch musicians and still so unpretentious. I think they deserve much more attention!
Without shouting at any one, I could only wich there where a bit less surfband, and with a level more like that of L&C. I prefer quality over quantity, and sometimes when I hear new releases, I have the feeling I causes more harm to the genre than it contributes. But that's maybe for an other topic.

On the one hand, how can a genre in which it's most fervent fans have trouble deciding which songs they like best be considered in decline?
On the other, if we take 1979 (Jon & The Nightriders) as the early cutoff for the lists, the question becomes something more like 'What's your favorite songs of the last 34 years?'

Sorry folks,but there is no way I could ever come up with a top ten of this list,or the classic. I've heard too many surf/instro bands and songs to make the ultimate choice.I'am forever a open book,and resourceful when it comes to surf,and that is my final statement as to the question at hand. This music is not a contest of favorites as the pool overflows on a moments notice.

brandonio,
I get your point. I feel the same way about all music. I've never had absolute favorites, top tens, and such. I didn't pick by the whole number one is my favorite song or artist concept, in fact the order of my list means almost nothing as far as what I love the most. It's based more on what I discovered that had some sort of unique appeal to me and that list in reality is too vast to limit to a certain number.
It's fun to play anyway though.

Worth repeating: This is WAY harder than the classic top ten. In the spirit of contribution I have made a list, and while I think it's good, it has already changed a couple of times, and sure will continue to...
Always in flux these things...
- Laika & The Cosmonauts - Note Crisis
- The Fathoms - Overboard
- The Mermen - Dancing In Her Sleep
- The Bambi Molesters - Tremble & Shake
- The Barbwires - La Caja Del Muerto
- The Space Cossacks - Apes Of Wrath
- Frankie & The Pool Boys - Ewa On The Beach
- The Madeira - Sahar
- El Ray - Hynotic
- Daikaiju - Laser Runner
and as soon as I hit "Submit Reply" I am going to feel like I have betrayed SO MANY great songs! hahaha

The Best of 2013 compilation is a no-brainer decision for a donation; awesome loop to have on in the room, even wrapping Christmas packages.
