Much as I love Henry Cow, for me the Captain wins this poll. The Fall once did an interesting cover/deconstruction of War. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

War - no question. It blew me away when I first heard it 40 years ago and it still does. See the wonderful 'Epiphany' in The Wire magazine, August 2011 which describes it better than I can. Purists might say it is a 'Slapp Happy/Henry Cow' song - whatever the combination, I don't think they ever played it live! |

The good Captain. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Beefheart. The Cow thing sounds like some bad off-Broadway cancelled show. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
