List of garage rock compilations

This is a list of compilation albums featuring recordings entirely or mostly in the garage rock style of music, including variations of the genre ranging from basic garage rock and frat rock to folk rock-influenced and psychedelic garage rock. Most of the recordings compiled on these albums was originally recorded in the period between 1963-1968 in the United States and Canada. However, the list also includes compilations of recordings made outside of North America, in places such as Great Britain, Continental Europe, Latin America, and the far East, which are sometimes considered as counterparts or variants of the garage rock style (and are sometimes referred to as "Freakbeat," "Nederbeat", or "Group Sounds," as well as "beat" or "garage rock").

The Nuggets and Pebbles albums were the pioneering series, so they are listed first, followed by the remainder in alphabetical order. "Pebbles" is a takeoff on the name "Nuggets" (which may itself be based upon "rock" music), and this is true of many of the other series, particularly the older ones: Boulders series, Rubble series, Rough Diamonds series, Digging for Gold series, Hearts of Stone series, and a new one, Gravel series. While most of these compilations center on American recordings, some entries include music from Europe done in the same vein, including the second Nuggets box set and the 10 albums in the Pebbles series that are subtitled The Continent Lashes Back. More recently, compilations of this type of music from Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and elsewhere have been released, to the extent that garage rock and psychedelic rock recordings could truly be regarded as a category of world music; these compilation albums are also listed herein. When known, the city, state, country or region of origin of this music is given in parentheses. "US" covers the United States of America, while "UK" covers all parts of the United Kingdom (England, Ireland, Wales, etc.). "Mixed" means that the music comes from many parts of the world even if individual volumes within a series concentrate on a particular country or region.
