Psychedelic Rock, Garage Rock
The 13th Floor Elevators were one of the first bands to shape of Psychedelic Rock. They are even sometimes credited with the first psy LP ("The Psychedelic Sounds Of"). Still, I don't really warm to them. There's something I don't like about the band. Is it the relatively simply structured songs? Is it the sometimes lousy recording quality (like "Til Then" - a song that would have been hammered out of the speakers by the "Who" in an "appropriate" way)? I'm not sure. After the first two LPs, the "bubble rubber band effect" is slowly but surely worn out. On "Never Another" he's just annoying. The band is a case in itself. Not really "garage" but also far away from the attitudes that were common at the time.
