Listen to Captain Beefheart. I'd heard of them but never actually heard them before tonight but, intrigued by the name I looked him up on http://www.allmusic.com and he looked cool so I downloaded multiple songs from him:
Big Eyed Beans From Venus Plastic Factory Frownland Safe As Milk Hobo Chang Bang Moonlight On Vermont Lick Me Deca My Human Gets Me Blues Heart Yellow Brick Road Click Clack Dali's Car Old Fart At Play Cardboard Cut Out Sundown Funeral Hill I Pena Electricity White Jam Grow Fins Moonchild China Pig Tarotplane Grown So Ugly Hoboism Batchain Well Dirty Blue Gene
An oddity of sixties rock, they combined the avant-garde white noise so popular in the underground at the time with the freestyle 1920s jazz, adding to it the garage band boom reminiscince and the freestyle poetry found in coffehouses. The most accurate way to describe them would be this:
The Hard Rock Equivilant To Shel Silverstien.

Cool! AndersonCouncill, the same story as mine! Never heard before but in last two days downloaded first three albums of Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band of 67-69. And also check out info on them on allmusic.com. Truly, I'm not impressed though there are some interesting songs I liked. The music like Zappa's of the same years, but Zappa is cooler

Well, it was your post in the currently listening thread that piqued my curiousity and made me look them up on allmusic. I had heard of them before and when I heard the full name (Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band), I was intrigued. Its truly not as good as Zappa and the guitar playing is mediocre, but you have to respect him for being so different in a time when Sgt. Pepper's had barely emerged,

beef was at woodstock...was zappa????they were a california band.there were alot of them back then...jefferson airplane,the doors,creedence clearwater revival,the byrds,mamas and the papas,the grateful dead and more.beefy and the boys partyed with the common man...they would play free...musicians who are to huge to be a person still,suck...
I disagree. The guitar playing is quite lackluster, but its not terrible. Its like taking Syd Barrett and replacing the LSD with tobacco and warm beer and you get Beefheart's guitar sound. Very different.
