I don't know how I managed to live two decades without Black Monk Time in my life.

I'm here for the UK Monks and can I just say they are so underrated? It's sad they only ever had two albums, they had a load of talent and their songs are just super fun. Both albums get recommendations, but Bad Habits is the better one.

A truly great group. So many of the Garage Rock acts of the 60s only managed one or two great songs, so when you grab their LP(s) it's inevitably disappointing that they never cut any other songs half as good as, say, "96 Tears" or "Psychotic Reaction." The Monks, though, had an incredible song and a real knack for finding hooks and putting together rhythmic stompers that clearly influenced both the upcoming West German "Krautrock" music (early Can and Faust both seem to have taken inspiration from Black Monk Time) and, even more obviously, The Fall. Black Monk Time is definitely one of the very best albums of 1966 and deserves to be much better known and more widely heard than it is.

Discovered them whilst going through every artist mentioned in LCD Soundsystem's Losing My Edge. Such a sick band.

One of the most hilarious bands I've ever listened to, but also one of the best. [x2] Totally agreed, they're funny as hell but insanely catchy, ahead of their time and one of the very best and most unique bands of the 60's.

The Monks are one of the greatest, most original and innovative bands of the 60's in my opinion.

Perhaps one of the most important records ever made, Black Monk Time is truly a pillar of rock music.

Знаете, эта группа просто гениальна, но так как они выпустили всего лишь один альбом, то они просто не могут быть популярными, ну например как The Sonics. Обидно, но это так. За то в историческом плане их уж точно не недооценили, хоть что то радует. Да и то про них вспомнили только в 80-х годах...
