List of Garage Rock and Psychedelic Rock Compilation Albums - Criteria For Inclusion On This List

Criteria For Inclusion On This List

Some of these albums and series have a more eclectic group of songs than these two genres—the Born Bad series, for instance, includes numerous rockabilly rarities, novelty songs and instrumental rock recordings, with several being releases from the 1950s—but fit as well into this category as any other. In a few cases, such as the Rough Diamonds series, the series itself is compilation in nature, although the individual albums are by specific artists. Some of the albums are released in series but with significantly different names—e.g., Rave with the Amphetamine Generation and Riot of the Amphetamine Generation—so these albums are listed individually rather than trying to create a series name.

Generally speaking, the list does not include compilation albums of punk rock (as the term is generally utilized today), pop music and surf music. Compilation albums covering music from the late 1970s and later (even if the music is clearly garage rock or psychedelic rock) have also been omitted, as typified by the third Nuggets box-set, Children of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era, 1976–1995. Exceptions are compilations such as Rockabilly Psychosis and Garage Disease, which include some older tracks as well as newer releases.

Famous quotes containing the words criteria, inclusion and/or list:

    There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.
    —H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
