50 years of Tunes - 1966 - The Sonics "Boom"

Starting the 50 years of tunes list with a double whammy by the brilliant Sonics. Boom is the band's second album and features two more absolute belters in Cinderella & Shot Down. I saw The Sonics live in Brighton last year and they were absolutely blistering, not bad for a bunch of septuagenarians.
