But one of the best psychedelic bands that I've heard is STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK. They are mostly known for their hit Incense And Peppermints (which is also the title of their first album as well as their compilation album), but they also have many other great songs.

I would definitely like to buy their first album, but I can't find it anywhere! The only album I can find is their compilation album, and I'm not interested in that.
Does ANYONE know where I can buy the debut album of Strawberry Alarm Clock (on CD)? Confused
 
 
This looks like the place to get Strawberry Alarm Clock albums       http://www.ccmusic.com/search.cfm?searchkey=STRAWBERRY%20ALARM%20CLOCK&bounce=y&searchType=artist
 
 
and go to the All Music Guide for more information on each of the available albums    http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=STRAWBERRY|ALARM|CLOCK&sql=11:gcfyxq95ldfe~T0
 
I've seen some of them in Texas. Good Luck!!

Off the top of my head I will say Jefferson Airplane, Boston Tea Party, Arthur Brown, Traffic, Spirit, Zombies, Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer, The Nazz

 
First time I've heard those bands marked in red called 'garage-psych bands.'
 
I think the bands on the Nuggets boxset are closer to the mark, e.g. (although the Kingsmen are missing on this following list)
1. I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) - Electric Prunes
2. Dirty Water - Standells
3. Night Time - Strangeloves
4. Lies - Knickerbockers
5. Respect - Vagrants (1)
6. Public Execution - Mouse (1)
7. No Time Like The Right Time - Blues Project
8. Oh Yeah - Shadows Of Knight
9. Pushin' Too Hard - Seeds
10. Moulty - Barbarians
11. Don't Look Back - Remains
12. Invitation To Cry - Magicians (2)
13. Liar Liar - Castaways (1)
14. You're Gonna Miss Me - 13th Floor Elevators
15. Psychotic Reaction - Count Five
16. Hey Joe - Leaves (1)
17. Just Like Romeo And Juliet - Michael & The Messengers
18. Sugar And Spice - Cryan' Shames
19. Baby Please Don't Go - Amboy Dukes
20. Tobacco Road - Blues Magoos
21. Let's Talk About Girls - Chocolate Watch Band
22. Sit Down I Think I Love You - Mojo Men
23. Run Run Run - Third Rail (2)
24. My World Fell Down - Sagittarius (1)
25. Open My Eyes - Nazz
26. Farmer John - Premiers (1)
27. It's A Happening - Magic Mushrooms

I got Nuggets, really awesome stuff. Some of the songs are pure classics while some are so bad their funny, making them great in their own way.

I'm not alone with Randy Alvey - somebody tells me the Tubes covered that tuneWacko.

I bought the first Love compilation LP in the late70's/early 80's, compiled by one of the best rock writers of the time John Tobler. John, who seemed to have some clout, insisted Elektra Records married 7 & 7, with the track Is 14 - as apparently Arthur Lee wanted originally. So ever since getting that album I can't hear 7 & 7 without its coda - perversely  spread over two of the Love's remastered albums

Can't forget to mention that ultimate garage band song, "Louie Louie"!
 
 
The Nuggets box sets seem to be creme dela creme of this genre - for warts and all, try the Pebbles series of single CDs.
 
And you take the words from my mouth: 'Louis Louis' - said it before marvel at the evolution of Don Gallucci  from the probably inventor of that riff to what 3 years later coming up with some America's first prog album in the form of Touch - and then 3 years after that producing a punk classic(?) with the Stooges' second album.

The Allman Brothers band were the Allman Joys before they were the Hourglass.  The Allman Joys mostly did covers of great Yardbirds tunes.  Got to love the Yardbirds for helping create psyche.

The Pretty Things named themselves after a Bo Diddley song.  The Move, Nazz, The Masters Apprentice(great Aussie band), The Five Americans, Bubble Puppy, 13th Floor Elevators, The Box Tops, Electric Prunes, Iron Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge, Seeds, Spirit, Love, Jethro Toe(45 only), Tomorrow,...too many to list.  Most of my album collection comes from this genre and age.

In small doses, Moby Grape - who were going to be THE GROUP TO WATCH, but Alexander Skip Spence liked his chemicals too much. Great Society,  HP Lovecraft.  However, there is the call for garage/psychedelia - so checking out my Pebbles compilations, I have this perverse enjoyment of Randy Alvey & The Green Fuz - their (Here Comes The) Green Fuzz single is so bad, it is good - and somebody tells me it was covered by The Tubes??Confused.

In the USA I've gotta go with Nazz.  On the British side I'd have to say The Move.

I love 60's psych, US and UK. Among my favourites are Jefferson Airplane "after bathing at baxters", It's a beautiful day's first album, Love "forever changes". I recommend that anyone who likes dreamy trippy music should check out HP Lovecraft II.

Oh yeah, psych fans should check out Sundial's "Other Way Out" from 1990, real trippy dreamy prog-psych. Their subsequent albums are in a more garagey vein. I saw Sundial when they toured with their follow-up album in the early 1990's. My friends band (Stooges-MC5 clones) supported and were actually better, which doesn't say much for their live sound. Other way out is a classic of post-60's psych music, though.

Now that I am on the subject I have recorded some of my vinyl  collection for a barmaid in my local. Looking forward to see how they go down...

Great Post! How 'bout some one hit wonders who started something...Music Machine (Talk Talk) and the Count 5 (Psychotic Reaction). If you young guys want a real eye opener find these and listen, you're talkin 1964...

Neil Young's Crazy Horse are a great "garage band". No frills, just pure, simple, unadulterated rock & roll.
