July 15, 200816 yr For someone of that generation, please explain? :) not actually from that generation myself but im almost positive he is a singer chum
July 15, 200816 yr Not part of that generation either, but I think he used to be in Frank Zappa's band before forming his own band. He made(don't think he's active anymore) music that could be described as quite "out there". Trout Mask Replica is probably his best known album. Edited July 15, 200816 yr by Maksimov

Quite amusing, allegedly a genius and certainly unique. Strange song and album titles give an idea of his oddness ("Ice Cream for Crow"). Not exactly my cuppa tea, music-wise.

July 16, 200816 yr I actually scored a few of his albums from some bloke on vinyl, although I've yet to listen to them. He got the name "captain Beefheart" from a party trick which involved squeezing his manhood that hard toward the tip of the shaft, that he made it look like a heart made of beef!! Wonder how long that will stay till the mids get rid of it Scott
July 16, 200816 yr So was he actually any good?... Many music critics think he's a genius, but check out these videos and make up your own mind: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...mp;search_type=
July 16, 200816 yr Saw Captain Beefheart supporting Pink Floyd at Knebworth in 1975. Can't remember anything about him though, was there to see the Floyd!
