It was a simple cause-and-efect relation that, after the out-of-this-world music themes and absolutely emotional lyricism of Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson had a psychological breakdown. Imagine what could have been if SMiLE were finished and released at that time? There would be nothing left to be done with music as the universe would probably have collapsed with such perfection.

The hippie movement carried its imminent destruction in its very seed and the ultimate proof is 13th Floors' debut. One can't deny its measureless influence on the sound that would come to be characteristic of the 60s, thoroughly copied from the cover art to the use of the word "psychedelic" to describe music.
Well, there's something in this album... it could be Roky Erickson's screamed vocals, it could be the lo-fi tone or maybe only that revolted aggressiveness, there's this something that would be ignored for a feel years but would be rediscovered by the likes of Spacemen 3, Primal Scream, Butthole Suffers and The Jesus and Mary Chain: it is punk rock. Yeah, bad news for your boring hippie-ish uncle -- psych rock generated punk. [First added to this chart: 10/13/2015]
