Probably the best album in the Flamin' Groovies' huge catalogue, 1971's TEENAGE HEAD is a proto-power pop classic. Certainly, the title track is a stunner. With its hip-shaking rhythm and lead singer Roy Loney's brilliant performance (he sings the line "'Cause I'm angry," as if he's about to burst out laughing), "Teenage Head" is a strong contender for the title of sexiest power pop song ever. The rest of the album is equally terrific, with "Have You Seen My Baby?" and "Whiskey Woman" showing off both Loney's love of good old-fashioned rockabilly, and guitarist Cyril Jordan's British Invasion-influenced knack for writing perfect pop songs. The handful of bonus tracks, including a handful of terrific old rock & roll covers, place the Groovies in their cultural context, showing their inspirations and the variance they always maintained against what was currently fashionable.
