The Devil Dogs "Saturday Night Fever" 1993

This is the second-best rock and roll record ever created by human beings. The first, of course, is the Stooges' "Fun House." The day I bought this record, I got home a few minutes before I had to leave for work on the night shift. The Devil Dogs already were my favorite band going and I HAD to hear what it sounded like before I left. I put it on my turntable, listened to the first song, literally yelled "Yes" in a jubilant affirmation of my rock heroes, turned it off, called my boss and said I was going to be about an hour late. I listened to the whole album twice and forced myself to leave my apartment and my new favorite record. Eight years later, this record is still in my A-list rotation. There's no better post-punk band than the Devil Dogs and I highly doubt there ever will be.  [Amazon customer review]This is the shit! The Hot Shit! The rockinest piece of this devil music called rock n' roll in the whole 90s decade! Once Nicke Hellacopter claimed it is the best record of that decade. Quite simply is one of the best EVER. These New Yorkers knew the history of rock n' roll and they knew it the right way. The Devil Dogs were a totally unique sounding blend of 60s american garage, 50s american rock n roll plus the "Wall of Sound" of Phil Spector. Rock n' roll played by Americans and ignored by Americans. A drive through the fast lane. A one way ticket back to your teenage years. If you don't like this record probably you're a square. Surely you're a square. C'mon these are the Devil Dogs and you have been invited to a PARTY! The best of your life... A CLASSIC!  --Amazon customer reviewtrax:

I forgot to say that I've enjoyed to listen to the album "ritorno a casa" from Carnival of Souls.
Thanks

Bought it in the store circa 1995 and when the store owner saw what I'd brought to the counter he dropped all aloofness and snobbery and just started enthusing, saying he kept his copy in the player while he was at work so he could hit it the second he walked in.

You are so totally correct about "Fun House" being the best rock'n'roll record ever made, I'm going to assume you are correct about this record. Thanks.

How come I have never heard of them if it that good. I'll take your word for it though and looking forward to hearing it.
