True, but the problem with 90% of the groups on the comp, and the reason the comp was so good, is that they were really singles bands. Even those that had whole albums out, and many of them didn't, had the song that's on Nuggets,
maybe one more original and all the standard blues covers. Granted that was even the case for first albums by major groups like the Stones and the Kinks, but those groups did go on to write lots of classic original songs, and did better versions of the blues songs than most (though not all) of the garage bands.
