Minky Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 A good starting point might be http://www.beefheart.com which is dedicated to the "art, poetry and music of Don Van Vliet AKA Captain Beefheart." Personally, I can only listen to about five minutes of the good Captain before my head begins to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Beefheart seems to be one of those bands that many musicians claim as an influence, but not many people listen to. The Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop are others in this category. I think you need a very open mind to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickledrop Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Warning: The Captain's music grows on you like a big vine that you can't cut off with an oversized ax! Not for the weak listener!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
