Roky Erickson
 

So, does anybody like this guy, or am I alone?
A friend gave me a copy of the Sympathy for the Record Industry re-issue of The Evil One, and I'm really stoked.

So, this thread is made for anyone who wants to give this man some love!

Don't fall down.

yea ive heard some of his solo stuff and liked it."Creature with the atom brain", "bermuda", "two headed dog" are all great songs. I like how he kept the electric jug that the 13th elevators used still in music. Also he did a really great tribute to buddy holly with "starry eyes", it sounds a lot like him.

yeah, I was crancking The Evil One up last nigth, and it gave me the creeps, in a really good way.

"I walked with a zombie last nigth"

yes yes yes. like any good austinite, i love roky.

Some love songs are good.Some other love songs are really helpful.That's all i ask from music.

i heard that daniel johnston and jad fair song 'i met rocky erickson' he sounded fuckin crazy. i tried googling his name after hearing the song but i didnt find much

Google 13th Floor Elevators then.You wont regret it.

^Listen to him.
