You may or may not know that the Cramps are one of my favorite bands, and you may or may not know that Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach were the founders and integral members of the band. Watch them here:
Anyway, apparently there has been at least one compilation that cataloged some of the songs that they have claimed as particularly influential. Maybe you can still find them somewhere, I don't know. But, more importantly (and impressively), there is also a fan that went thru interviews, etc. and tracked down as many of the songs mentioned as possible. The result are these 9 compilations. It's a little bit hit or miss, but the hits are incredible. Check the Jack Nitzsche, Rev. Charlie Jackson, and Trashmen in particular.
