On this special episode of #30albumsfor30years, host Jay Sweet dives into the history of The 13th Floor Elevators, an eclectic band that played a pivotal role in the development of psychedelic rock. Their debut album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (1966), is noted as one of the first to describe its music as "psychedelic." Featuring the hit single "You're Gonna Miss Me," the album blended raw garage rock with folk blues and surreal elements. Roky Erickson's gritty vocals, Stacy Sutherland's reverb-drenched guitar, and Tommy Hall's electric jug playing combined to create a distinctive sound that influenced many future musicians. Despite commercial challenges and internal struggles, the band's innovative approach had a significant impact on the evolution of rock music, helping to shift it from its pop roots to a more artistic expression.
