Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiorncOFpcg Capitan Beefheart was a prodigy sculptor who turned his sights onto music. His music was made with out any knowledge of standard music theory, and takes on a unique "sculpted" form. He was known for being very imposing on his band members, mistakes would never be tolerated. Once he asked his drummer to play a strawberry during a set, when the desired result was not produced he picked up his drummer and threw him down a flight of stairs. Because the music does not utilize common conventions that we are used to hearing in western music it sounds like a cacophony of random tones, but after a few listens it begins to make sense. Of course it doesn't always click for everyone, so some people end up listening to a rambling fish man 6 times in a row, while thinking "The gently caress am I listening to". But if it does click, the feeling is defiantly worth the time spent listening. Some people think Beefheart was a genius, and some think he was a simpering mongoloid, but like cocaine: "You can't knock it 'til you try it."
