The 50 Best Garage Rock Albums of All Time

As short lived as that first wave of garage rock was in the mid-1960s (it didn't even have a name until critics in the 1970s got nostalgic), few genres have branched into more great music (punk, psychedelia, post-punk, power pop, etc.) or had the staying power of garage rock. The editors and writers at Paste have voted for our favorite garage-rock albums since , defining it with our individual votes ("If you think it's garage rock, then cast your ballot accordingly"). And while there are plenty of albums from the 1960s making the list, every decade since is represented, including one LP released just last year. As always, we limited the results to two albums per band in order to spread the love.
