1615 - The Cramps Garbageman 1980

Nobody in the Psychobilly genre has topped the Cramps sound. The Cramps are highly energetic and extremely fun. They're way too humorous to be called Goth. The music is just simple, trashy fun.
Formed in '76, and fueled by late night campy horror flicks, the Cramps dug deep into the senses of rock'n'roll, incorprating elements of sixties punk, surf, psychedelia, and instrumental rock into their music to create something truly unique. Their music was not pretty by any means, but it sure was beautifully ugly. And this, a collection of their best, dubbed Songs the Lord Taught Us, is a true masterpiece in every sense of the word. Songs like "Garbage Man"  are classics that never get old. The surf guitar and punk rawness makes it feel like you're riding in a hotrod with greasers from hell. To top it off, Lux Interior's insane voice is like a Pentecostal preacher speaking in tongues while drunk on moonshine.
The Cramps destroy the innocent sound of late `50's rock and roll by adding blatant sex and drugs themes in an offensive and psychotic manner. That's exactly what made all of punk appealing, taking simple rock `n roll from an innocent time and making it raw and rebellious. The Cramps are just as important to punk as the Ramones are.
