Teenage Head is the third studio album by the San Francisco rock band Flamin' Groovies, released in March 1971 by Kama Sutra Records. ^[11]

Released the same year as the Rolling Stones' album Sticky Fingers , Mick Jagger reportedly noticed the similarities between the albums and thought the Flamin' Groovies did the better take on the theme of classic blues and rock 'n roll revisited in a modern context. ^[2]

The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die . ^[12]
