Teenage Head

Teenage Head? I feel like these guys should be on a different list if you know what I mean. This is the first album I couldn’t finish.

It was okay. A little Creedence mixed with some Syknyrd.

This is fucking dull. Blues rock in this style is a bit of a toss-off genre for me nowadays anyway, and when it's as dull as all this, even more so. On top of that, the overt references to having sex with teenagers, the fact that it somehow made THIRTY MINUTES feel too long, the only good song being whacked right at the end, and that god-awful Elvis impression on Evil Hearted Ada... it all adds up to a very low score. What a dismal week it's been.

I don't know why this got compared to Sticky Fingers cuz Sticky Fingers was good and this was bad. I mean not even close to good. They had some glimpses of cool instrumentals that never really went anywhere. The guy singing, if it's the same guy in every song, tried doing several different impressions of popular musicians, and by the time he got to an awful Elvis attempt, they completely lost me.

I am BEGGING for no more psychedelic rock

Yeah nah

so many apostrophes

When I was a kid at Christmas in the 70s, there was no shortage of holiday specials to choose from on television. Understand that this was prior to today’s classic fare of Elf, Polar Express and the live-action Grinch. The finest of them all,in my opinion, and the one I looked forward to watching on repeat each December was a movie made with puppets called Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas. The story follows a poor family of otters that are trying to make ends meet and still find a way to buy presents for each other at Christmas. Salvation comes in the form of a talent competition where first prize is $50. Emmet Otter decides to enter so he can win enough money to buy his mother a piano for Christmas. He grabs a muskrat, a beaver and some other river animals and together they make a band. They practice hard and are ready to win it all, and they would have except that, at the last minute, an unexpected entry at the talent show upends everything: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band. Comprised of a weasel on guitar, a snake on bass,a mink on keyboards,and a lizard on drums, The Riverbottom Nightmare Band shows up and slays with predictable heavy metal thrashing. They win the competition and the $50 and Emmet and the boys go home with nothing. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie, or if it’s been so long that you don’t really remember it, you’re in luck. The Flamin’ Groovies sound exactly like The Riverbottom Nightmare Band, which is to say puppet animals playing campy hard rock. The shriekingly humorous vocals splayed out over simplistic single note runs are lifted almost directly from the Riverbottom catalogue. That said, I don’t think the Flamin’ Groovies would beat either TRBNMB or Emmet Otter and his jug band in a talent show. I’d put my money on the puppets every time.

War nicht meins. Ich fand die Songs irgendwie sehr austauschbar und keins hat mich wirklich angesprochen

This project has started disturbing my Apple Music algorithm. Random artists from my previous listens end up in my “radio station”. Most of the time it’s great! Apple knows I’m expanding my knowledge and throws me new tunes from newly discovered faves. But then there are the bad ones. Latter day ABBA. That terrible Beach Boys album. I fear the Flamin’ Groovies are on that list. Not for me. 1/5.

I’ve gotta be on a notable cold streak at this point. All I heard during this albums hour long run time was something falling short of The Rolling Stones. Halfway through there’s even an identity crisis that includes a bad Elvis impression, then a softer rock ballad. Just no across the board. This sound was done better by other bands. Pass 1/5

Nop, não gostei nada.

Now where's my flamin groovies album gone. That is a sentence which i think has never been uttered. This is so boring it could send a glass eye to sleep. At one time for a moment this could be regarded as exciting. Now it is just stale and annoying.

absolutely forgettable. it's like if someone created an album that they specifically did not want me to listen to.

Ugh. Unfortunately I did not enjoy this album very much and found myself hoping it would end. I am already biased against covers and this had a bunch of covers that weren't any better than the originals. This was the first album where I genuinely do not know why it was included in this list at all.

Mercifully short

Quintessential British invasion/punk fusion. Definitely war time. Fun but I didn't like it.

Not even finishing this, it is so corny and boring

Seemed like a copy of the southern rock style

Stones from Wish.

Hippy Americana. It must eco friendly since everything is recycled: second hand blues riffs, reheated country twang, leftover honky-tonk, thrift shop boogie, and a tired Elvis impression. Pretty basic bar band stuff done competently but it's hard to think this was imaginative even at the time and it certainly has little to offer 50+ years later.

Pretty dull, and I don't like his affected voice. Sounds like he's trying to be Mick Jagger.

No.

Ever wondered what would happen if we took The Rolling Stones and made them boring? This album apparently.

should be arrested for producing this

Oh my god, I'm in hell! Tenacious D's Satan met me directly and started tormenting me. What on earth is this? What have I done to deserve this. I've never heard of this group and never want to hear of them again. I don't want to see the list this album is on, let alone hear it. How deep do you have to dig to find these undead? I was released from hospital after an operation and then got a stomach bug. I suffered for two and a half weeks and this is supposed to help me recover? No way. Get rid of it! I need to rinse my ears out.

Teenage Head ist das dritte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Rockband Flamin' Groovies, das 1971 veröffentlicht wurde. Die Gruppe, ursprünglich aus San Francisco, vereint auf diesem Werk Elemente des Garage Rock, Power Pop und Rock'n'Roll und zeigt eine klare Orientierung an den klassischen Sounds der 60er Jahre. Das Album wurde in den Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco aufgenommen, einem Ort, der für seine gute Akustik und seine Zusammenarbeit mit bekannten Künstlern bekannt war. Die Produktion des Albums zeichnet sich durch klare Gitarrenriffs, treibende Schlagzeugbeats und eine insgesamt rohe, unpolierte Atmosphäre aus. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Songs "Teenage Head" und "City Lights". "Teenage Head" überzeugt mit einem eingängigen Refrain und einem kantigen Rock-Sound, während "City Lights" eine ruhigere, aber dennoch energische Stimmung erzeugt und mit seinen melodischen Elementen hervortritt. Die Flamin' Groovies, bestehend aus Roy Loney (Gesang, Gitarre) und Cyril Jordan (Gitarre, Gesang), liefern eine solide Darbietung, bei der vor allem die Harmonie zwischen den beiden Gitarristen und den kraftvollen Drums von Danny Mihm auffällt. Das Album insgesamt ist eine interessante Mischung aus traditionellem Rock'n'Roll und den frischen Einflüssen der damaligen Zeit. Teenage Head mag nicht die Innovation eines bahnbrechenden Albums bieten, aber es ist ein gutes Beispiel für den Garage Rock der frühen 70er Jahre. Fazit: Teenage Head ist ein gelungenes Album für Fans des klassischen Rock und des Garage Sounds. Es bietet eingängige, aber nicht übertriebene Stücke und bleibt dabei authentisch und bodenständig. Wer den rauen Charme dieser Musik schätzt, wird hier gut unterhalten.

Repetitive Elvis knockoff sound. Tough hour to get through.

1 star, Way more bland than rolling stones, no comparison.

It had good moments. If it was generic rock all the way through it would've been pretty enjoyable, but they really really wanted to stand out

This is Good Old Rock 'n' Roll, with the emphasis on the old. It's okay at what it does, but wasn't breaking any new ground even when it was released. Budget Stones, with a bit more Americana sprinkled on top in places. Am not sure if this is the original album tracklisting or the covers have been added later, but by the second half of this set it has lurched into fairly stodgy pub rock territory. Neither very flamin' or that groovy.

Not relevant.

it was not my kind of rock.

Can you imagine livin' your life considering this an essential listen?

Очередное никчёмное роковое говно древних мамонтов.

In what universe is this album a must listen? I'm really starting to think that most of the really obvious classic albums were put on this list (which even then, there are loads of albums missing that really should have made the final cut, as I'm sure we are all aware), and then after that it was just scraping the bottom of the barrel to get it up to 1001. This album is annoying, souless, and super generic. I'm just happy that it's so short.

First listen. Nah

I’m sorry but nothing stands out. It’s not extremely shitty but it’s just plain old rocknroll. Didn’t age that well actually. This is my first album so…didn’t start strong…. Some songs sound like they are from a western parody movie (Evil Hearted Ada) Pretty awful. I love 70s music but I would not pretend every thing is gold. This album is not good.(And quite boring,even tho it’s only 30min long) God this album keeps getting worse track by track.Only the last track is a bit better but I’m not revisiting this album anyway. Overall, the sound is nice, the songwriting is absolutely zero.Good thing this is very short. Can’t understand why this is on this list. I was expecting Station To Station, but this is station to nowhere because I already forgetting the songs and it’s just been 3 minutes. Listenable, except the song Evil Hearted Ada.

70’s

They are different. Maybe a garage band.

not bad but not for me. I'd rather listen to zz top

A whole lot of nothing

Never heard of this band, after listening I can see why. They seem to have been a more "rough around the edges" take on the same music the Rolling Stones were producing around the same time. I found it quite boring to be honest, nothing memorable at all about these songs. Having said that, I've always found Sticky Fingers quite boring too. Musically this isn't terrible, but I don't see why it would be considered "Essential".

i guess im no longer teenage the music sounds odd in my head

ну рок местами что-то есть, но в целом сомнительное удовольствие

My least favourite so far, the lead singer changes his singing style and

nop. chiant

Nope

This is basically the same as the Slade album from yesterday: boring Rolling Stones knock-off blues-tinted 70's rock that sounds indistinguishable from any generic blues-rock cover band you'd hear at your local dive. Unsubscribe.

If you want to be different, be great. This unheard of rockabilly album is worse than awful. With poor covers and Elvis wannabe energy, this album is forgettable.

Huoh masentavan tylsää ei mitään positiivista sanottavaa... lamauttaa miehen sanoista tämmöinen koettelemus.. onneksi saattiin tunnista puoli tuntinenn kun mentiin wikipediaan ja katsottiin alkuperäinen albumi pituus...

Meh...

Yeah I really don’t care enough to finish this.

Too old

Nah

Kind of sounds like stones but not as good. I did not like this singer. I would rather listen to better blues musicians than blues inspired rock. A band like this needs a really good lead guitar player or a special leader singer. The mick jagger quote on Wikipedia made it sound like they were a great English blues band in 1970. There was so much better music that came out that year from England - I would much rather listen to Elton John’s Tumbleweed connection, or Joe Cocker, or the Stones or Zeppelin. Pretty mediocre in comparison. Also way too many songs- why do they need the Buddy holly cover, Louie Louie, and the Elvis type tune?

Not a huge fan of this, the vocals are hit-or-miss and I feel so many other bands have nailed this genre/style better. Can't see myself returning to this. Favourite Tracks: - Yesterday's Numbers - Whiskey Woman Overall Grade: 1/5

lame

no….

What is this Old MacDonald Had a Farm sounding crap and why do I need to hear it before I die? Seems like some random rockabilly album you find for a dollar at a flea market. So insanely boring and average that I don't have anything to say about it. "Teenage Head" was my favorite track.. I think. Hard to choose a favorite shade of gray.

Forgettable because it just sounds like everything that had come out already. Doesn't stand out and be it's own thing and instead tows the line for what was already becoming outdated at that time.

Trash

Repetitive in each song (instrumentals and lyrics), diverse album overall, rock, blues, 50's and 60's vibes.

Extraordinarily bland

fuck my head hurts. this was so poo. there was like 2 ok songs but they all made me angry.

Bluesy rock and roll. Not really my cup of tea, a little boring. They manage to turn Louie Louie into a yawnfest, which is an achievement in itself.

Recording quality was really poor
