What does /mu/ think of The 13th Floor Elevators?Elevators?

I thought so on their first album, but liked Easter Everywhere much more.

Not bad, bit repetitive, that fucking percussive thing drove me up the wall though

Discovered them when I found a first pressing of "the psychedelic sounds" in an old box of records my dad gave me. I'm a big fan of their incorporating the jug.

are you talking about the jug? it was annoying at first, but over time grew on me

The fuck, like five people suggested me this band this morning and now this thread. Guess it's a sign I should listen.

i like rocky erickson. the elevators were alright but rocky and the ayys made it dark. which was an emotion that was off the table for psych groups at the time.

listen to how fucking potent these songs are even without a rock band. his voice fucking terrifies me. it feels like its coming from a really long ways away.

anyone know where the clip of him playing bloody hammer on acoustic in a graveyard is? that was one of my favorite clips. i can only find this one.
