SurfBandBill Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1487 San Francisco	Posted on Mar 27 2006 11:42 AM And no, I'm not talking guitar picks here. I am looking to pick up some stuff to expand my surf collection even further, and wanted to make sure I'm not missing some essentials. Here's my crack shot, in no particular order: 1) The Nebulas - Nebula One 2) Satan's Pilgrims - Plymouth Rock (yes, it's a best of but that way I don't REALLY have to choose) 3) Hypnotic IV - Go Baby Go 4) The Infrareds - Recorded on Microfilm 5) Man or Astro-man?: Live Transmissions from Uranus Top

Eddie and the Showmen/Squad Car Randy Holden Fender 4 Recordings Astronauts/Competition Coupe. The Treblemakers Vs. the Doomsday Device Untamed Youth/Untamed Melodies I feel kinda bad leaving Dick Dale off here, so Mr. Eliminator #6. — "as he stepped into the stealthy night air... little did he know the fire escape was not there" https://www.facebook.com/reluctantaquanauts/ https://www.facebook.com/TheDragstripVipers/ Top

CaptainSpringfield Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 4387 Under the Sun	Posted on Mar 28 2006 12:05 AM Aren't these things usually ten items? 1.) Ventures - Live in Japan '65 2.) DD - Samurai Surf Guitar (disc 1) 3.) Surf Coasters - On Stage DVD (I am aware this is totally cheating.) 4.) Jim Messina & The Jesters - The Dragsters 5.) Satan's Pilgrims - Creature Feature -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top

Klas Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 2293 Stockholm, Sweden	Posted on Mar 28 2006 05:31 AM Excluding vinyl only and V/A compilations, my list could look something like: * New Dimensions : Best Of Surfaris : Fun City, USA Astronauts : Surfing With Jim Messina & the Jesters : The Dragsters Dick Dale : Surfin' And A Swingin' — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top
bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25566 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Apr 04 2006 07:19 PM How did I know that Klas would have all old bands? All great picks by the way. I'm gonna streach the rules a bit, as most Dessert island picks I see in magazines are always 10. So I'm gonna break it into 5 old and 5 new (In no order) old The Shadows-30 Greatest hits of the( Aussie comp of 2 english best of's) The Surfaris-Fun City USA,& The Surfaris Play(2 fer on repitore records) Astronauts- Movin' (Japanese Best of - Instros only) Jim Messina and the Jesters-The Dragsters(too bad it comes with a crappy other album) Dick Dale- The Singles and other great stuff( bootleg best of on gold cdr) New Pollo Del Mar- The Golden State The Huntington Cads- Go Exotic Space Cossacks-Intersteller Stomp Insect Surfers-Death Valley Coastline The Nebulas-Nebula One Jeff(bigtikidude) — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Apr 04, 2006 19:41:41 Top
TFJ Joined: Mar 04, 2006 Posts: 278	Posted on Apr 04 2006 07:28 PM 5 Satan's Pilgrims albums = 5 picks! But, seriously I would have an ipod with all my favorite stuff - takes up less space. Notwithstanding that, I'd go with the Cossacks and Pilgrims "best of" comps, Ghastly Ones "A Haunting..." Fathoms "Fathomless," and Bomboras "Head Shrinkin' Fun"...or the first 3 discs of the Cowabunga Box + the Pilgrims and Cossacks comps Top
sidewalksurf Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 243	Posted on Apr 04 2006 10:39 PM Trashmen - Tube City (best of) Astronauts - Rarities Eddie and the Showmen - Squad Car Guitar Player Presents: Legends of Guitar-Surf vol 1 The Ventures - Walk Don't Run, The best of Top
Klas Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 2293 Stockholm, Sweden	Posted on Apr 05 2006 05:47 AM bigtikidude How did I know that Klas would have all old bands? Haha, yeah I guess I'm more into the 1st wave era but I do like newer bands as well. However, none of them could compete in my top 5. bigtikidude Astronauts- Movin' (Japanese Best of - Instros only) Even though I already have all the included tracks on different Astronauts releases, I've been thinking of getting this one if it wasn't for the horrible artwork... bigtikidude Jim Messina and the Jesters-The Dragsters(too bad it comes with a crappy other album) I agree the Jesters album is the far better of the two but I still think the Adrian and the Sunsets album is really good. — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top

The Treblemakers Vs. the Doomsday Device Untamed Youth/Untamed Melodies I feel kinda bad leaving Dick Dale off here, so Mr. Eliminator #6. Heh, my list would be quite similar: Eddie & The Showmen - Squad Car Jim Messina & The Jesters - The Dragsters Fender IV recordings Astronauts - Competition Coupe Lively Ones - Surf Rider On another note, I just heard Untamed Youth for the first time yesterday, and I really liked their sound. Good stuff. Top
