You're real lucky, John Violence. Blue Cheer are an important and underrated band, they are precursors of Stoner and, what's more, a huge influence on the hard-psych bands. Bands like High Rise, Comets on Fire or Les Rallizés Denudes have been influenced by them. Their live set is said to be the loudest in the 60's.
In the grunge era bands like Mudhoney reivindicated them also. Even some people call them as the first heavy metal act.
Check out specially their albums Vincebus Eruptum (their most famous) and Outside/Inside (which is even better than Vincebus, in my opinion). I haven't heard much of the other stuff they released after but It's deffinitely much worse since it lacked what made them great in those two albums.
