I'm really diving into Captain Beefheart's discography lately (especially Trout Mask Replica). I'm pretty happy about this, considering I have always wanted to like his music. Strangely enough, however, I was too afraid to touch any of his stuff for about four months after I listened to a few of his tracks. In the end, I finally worked up enough courage to give him another shot.
The only downside (?) to his music is that his lyrics are really weird and almost uninterpretable. But... he's known for his abstract/cryptic songs, so eh... His album, Lick My Decals Off, Baby, is the next album on my list. |

As for his lyrics, I wouldn't try to over-analyse them - but there are some brilliant turns of phrase and some brilliant wordplay to be found in his lyrics. Abstract, but lots of fun too. |

and his lyrics are written for the way the words sound, not to "make sense" |
