Do you actually really like this, or are you saying it's more that it's an important/influential song?
I like it. I wouldn't say I "really like" it, and definitely not in the way I love/find deep meaning in all the long VU jams, Spacemen 3, etc.
I also don't know/doubt if it was particularly influential. The Seeds definitely were, but more for "Pushin' Too Hard" etc getting cited as protopunk avant la lettre.
I'm more citing it as the earliest recorded instance that I know, of that particular idea - an endless hypnotic guitar groove that is also at least kind of a song
predating Sister Ray, Black to Comm, and so on (the recorded version of Interstellar Overdrive is more of a freakout/noise thing)
it is, as I keep repeating, pointing the way
for me the true magic is in marrying the endless hypnotic groove to at some kind of song/melodic structure
Spacemen 3's 3 chords good 2 chords better 1 chord best ethos married to their wall of noise (and their love of gospel)
Lou Reed's genius pop instincts (he started off as a in-house pop songwriter) and John Cale scraping drone genius over endless Mo Tucker 1-2 stomp
