The Kingsmen 'The Best Of The Kingsmen' (1985)
The Kingsmen, a teen combo that began their reign banging out truly basic three-chord tunes steeped in the strong R & B elements on the Pacific Northwest's school of rock 'n roll, may for all eternity be pegged as the prime example of that wonderfully crude, supremely sloppy, sixties garage band sound that many of us still hold near and dear. That's one hell of a high honor. - from the liner notes
