The Seeds
I think this one has the right balance between an early psychedelic/punk sound and really good pop tunes. And Sky Saxon than the other two.
The 13th Floor Elevators
I was mightily impressed with this for a long time. But recently, found the electrig jug more obtrusive rather than interesting. I got a recent reissue that has a disc of mostly redundant covers, except for Buddy Holly's I'm Gonna Love You too which benefit from the treatment. Best songs there are their earlier incarnation The Spades' songs, which are basically undeveloped versions of songs on the main album, anyway.
Chocolate Watch Band
Pretty much whimsical and a direct lineage of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. Much better than pop psychedelia like Strawberry Alarm Clock, at that mo', which is pretty much watered-dow CWB, with none of the tunesmithing.
so:-
The Seeds - 1
13th FE - 0
CWB - 0
