Captain Beefheart
Captain Beefheart and his magic band is an experimental rock/blues band created in the 1960's. The band was very influential among the early rock setting, Often seen as some of the first pioneers of experimental and alternative genre. They often used many different elements in their music, ranging from field recordings, to spoken word. Captain Beefheart had released a total of 13 studio albums, the most famous being Trout Mask Replica. Trout Mask Replica is often seen as one of the greatest, and most important records of all time, which, many to all first time listeners will not agree with. Upon first listen of the album it sounds messy, poorly timed, and in ill taste, but surprisingly, upon further inspection every strum of the guitar and poorly recorded word fits in place.
