Black Monk Time (1966) by The Monks

Every once in a while I am plagued with a massive craving for early garage rock, and I have to tell you... this album always helps control it (my garage rock craving). With its vague lyrics, whiny/raspy vocals, spazzy organ solos, and dissonant, feedback-ridden guitar playing, this has always been an absolute favorite of mine among 60s rock music. It's raw, stripped-down, and loud... What more could you ask for from proto-punk/garage rock?

It's a fairly important release, and if you have yet to grace your ears with this album then please do so.
