I don't agree that Zappa never did a "normal" album. What about "Overnite sensation"? Isn't it just a blues-rock record? My favourie "Apostrophe" - what strange their?

And I prefer Beefheart 'cause his voice not only bluesy, it has some incrdible feelings. Nothing compare to Zappa

I don't think you can really compare Beefheart to Zappa. Their music is GREAT and artistic, but different. My first Beefheart album was 'Bluejeans and Moonbeams'. I thought it was nice, but (as many fans say) it's nothing compared to 'Trout Mask Replica'. 'Bluejeans and Moonbeams' is in fact a quite 'normal' bluesrock record. Zappa has never made such a 'normal' album. Neither did he make such a difficult and hard to listen to album as Trout Mask. Zappa did so many things, so many different styles and, as far as I know, Beefheart does weird stuff, but it always sounds like he's singing the blues...very roughly. That's why I prefer Zappa

I've heard only five Beefheart albumz. They all are different but at rha same time intersting. Most of all I likes "Safe as milk". His voice is very unique and he might be mentioned on this site. He recorded less albums than Zappa but its quality isn't worse

How can't you love an album with classics like 'Ella Guru', 'The Blimp', 'Ant Man Bee', and 'Dachua Blues'? Really one of the few i'd bring on the proverbial desert island.

Hey, I already started a Beefheart thread...Ok, not really, did mention that Trour Mask Replica is an amazing album, pretty unique in the history of music.

I don't know why nobody is talking about Captain Beefheart. I think his music is great!
