This is what Johnny Depp thought of the 13th Floor Elevators in 2005:
"Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators...[t]hey were basically the first psychedelic-rock band. 1965. And if you listen to old 13th Floor Elevators stuff—Roky Erickson especially, his voice—and then go back and listen to early Led Zeppelin, you know that Robert Plant absolutely copped everything from Roky Erickson. And it's amazing. And Roky Erickson is sitting in Austin, Texas; he's just there. And Robert Plant had a huge hit. It always goes back to those guys, you know? I love those fucking guys."
No arguments here.
About the only way we could improve this is if, say, we could include Bettie Page somehow...
13th Floor Elevators
"She Lives In a Time Of Her Own"
Yeah. We got that.
