- MusicSilver Apples were a groundbreaking electronic rock duo from New York City, formed in 1967 by Simeon Coxe and drummer Danny Taylor. They pioneered the fusion of psychedelic rock with homemade synthesizers, notably Coxe's custom-built instrument known as "The Simeon," which utilized oscillators and various electronic components. Their debut album, Silver Apples (1968), and its follow-up, Contact (1969), were ahead of their time, influencing future genres like synth-pop and electronic music. Despite early acclaim and endorsements from artists like John Lennon, the band faced setbacks, including a lawsuit over Contact's album art, leading to their disbandment in 1970.
