[edit] Nature of the Music
The music found on the Nuggets series is very similar to that of Kaye's original compilation. Many of the songs found on the series' three albums appear on the original Nuggets double LP, while others would eventually wind up on Rhino's box set expansion of Kaye's compilation. Stylistically, the series is focused primarily on relatively obscure garage and psychedelic rock songs from the 1960s. Although most of the music was recorded by American groups, there are a few exceptions, such as The Troggs (English) and The Easybeats (Australian). Notably, however, the music is not as unrefined or as obscure as the songs that tend to populate volumes of the Back from the Grave or Pebbles series.
