'The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators'

The 13th Floor Elevators have obtained some hipster status over the last 40 years or so by essentially being the lost boys of the Austin music scene and a wayward garage band.

Let's face it, it did the band a lot of good by Roky Erickson getting messed up with drugs and, in turn, in the head.

I don't mind them, but they're clearly not as good as we'd all hoped.

"You're Gonna Miss Me," however, is damn near a perfect rock song.
