David Peel and the Lower East Side - The American Revolution (1970)

OK first of all, yes I know that this album is incredibly dumb. A bunch of NYC hippie scumfuck degenerates yelling about smoking weed and hating cops set to borderline-competent minimalist rock'n'roll. If I didn't know any better I would probably have assumed that this group was planted by the Nixon administration to scare the general public into voting Republican. But who cares, this album rocks anyway. And while I wouldn't put this on the same level as, say, the Fugs or the MC5, it's still excellent proto-punk.
