"I grew up in Seattle with seven older siblings, so I grew listening to their records, and the first record I learned to play was The Witch by The Sonics, a band from Tacoma, Washington. If you were from Seattle and you loved rock you had to have a Sonics record. I thought it was a song about a real witch - I didn't know it was a song about some guy's bad girlfriend. But the record did change things for me. It was just screaming all the way through, and it left its imprint. It was garage rock, although I didn't know that at the time."

Rolling Stone's 371st greatest album of all time
Absolute belter of an album. If you can get past the rock and roll cliché that Alex Turner has become (generally more coked-up than the soft drinks aisle of Tesco at Christmas), this is simply a load of well written fast rock songs with punk ethics. There are so many excellent songs here that it is easy to forget, from their smash debut single I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, and Dancing Shoes to the slower paced Mardy Bum and Riot Van. A great band (at the time!) loving their time in the studio.
