10 Best Rock Music Albums Under Half An Hour Long

10. !!!Here Are The Sonics!!! - The Sonics

The Sonics are one of those bands who didn't get nearly enough love in their own time.

They achieved very little in the way of commercial success during their original 1960s run, falling apart towards the end of the decade when its members left to pursue other interests. In fact, Rob Lind, their saxophonist, decided he'd rather be a pilot in the Vietnam War than play with the band anymore.

However, sometimes genius takes a little while to be appreciated, and that's precisely what happened with The Sonics. Their hard-hitting, aggressive style of playing served as an inspiration for early punk acts, and groups like The Hives, LCD Soundsystem, and The White Stripes have all praised them more recently.

The group only released three albums during its original lifespan, the first of which being !!!Here Are The Sonics!!! from 1965. Yes, that's actually how the title was written. Mostly a collection of blues and R&B standards, the record also features the song The Witch, which was a very minor hit.

At just 28 minutes and 48 seconds long, it won't take you much time to indulge in this little piece of rock history.
