They did NOT invent psych and even though they were trailblazers, it doesn't change the fact that the music was really flaccid and dry. It doesn't hold up, it's just kind of shitty.

not him but the Byrds have held up remarkably well imho. 5-D and Sweetheart are two of the greatest albums ever made, great songwriting, melodies and influential guitar playing. What's not to like?
