Sez you: I don't like her voice at all. I don't see what having an MBE has to do with her ability as a singer, or my reaction to her singing. And I wear my love for bands like Genesis, Journey and Bon Jovi on my sleeve: I have no need, nor desire, to "secretly like" anything. I just hated this, plain and simple.

The Gateway to Captain Beefheart: First get into Deerhoof, they are more modern and current band and they are really good. You will be glad I introduce you to them. Then get into Tin Huey, if you haven't heard of them already. You at that age where you probably seen them live in concert. If you have please tell. After getting into those two wonderful bands you will find the most logical step is to get into Captain Beefheart. You will want to immerse yourself into the man and the music that started it all. You will see how much he has influence those other bands previously mentioned. Trust me once you drop the needle on Trout Mask Replica you have officially arrived in Frownland and you will frown no more. But beware the Magic Band will blow your mind away with how awesome they are. It is criminal how forgotten he and his music has become. I think if people had more Captain Beefheart in their life the world would be such a more groovy place to live in.

Please look again at the thread title. Captain Beefheart is not a genre, and anyway I've heard enough of him to know that though he isn't as terrible as I had originally thought, I certainly don't like most of what I've heard of him. And I've heard TMR, more than once. I still don't like it. I'm not interested in satisfying either your hard-on for Beefheart or Batty's for ICP: that's not what this thread is intended for, so please stick to its premise. Thanks.
