Električni Orgazam - Igra rokenrol cela Jugoslavija
 
Since it was on Rolling Stones top album list, I tried Captain Beefheart. It's not my thing.

The bluegrass sound, plus the Texas licks makes it predate ZZTop

I've been listening to a lot of Sun Kil Moon.

This song by Clutch called The Regulator was featured on The Walking Dead

He's very fine, is Captain Beefheart. A merry little punster, if ever there was one.

I don't care for his voice, but obviously there's something to the band. In this is the same initial resonse to it like Bob Dylan.

This song by Tame Impala popped up on one of the rotating mp3 services. The lead's voice reminds me John Lennon.

Compare it to Imagine by Lennon

Was he about in your youth, Mr Box?

Captain Beefheart went off into the desert to continue with his art career many years ago. I think.

edit: Oh look, he died in 2010. I didn't know that.

If Van Vliet built a house like he wrote music, the methodology would go something like this... The house is sketched on the back of a Denny's placemat in such an odd fashion that when he presents it to the contractor without plans or research, the contractor says "This structure is going to be hard to build, it's going to be tough to make it safe and stable because it is so unique in design." Van Vliet then yells at the contractor and intimidates him into doing the job anyway. The contractor builds the home, figuring out all the intricacies involved in structural integrity himself because whenever he approaches Van Vliet, he finds that he seems completely unable to comprehend technical problems and just yells, "Quit asking me about this stuff and build the damned house."... When the house is finished no one gets paid, and Van Vliet has a housewarming party, invites none of the builders and tells the guests he built the whole thing himself.

Let's say I had the dubious honor of owning a leisure suit.

Here's Johnny Cash channeling Nine Inch Nails (NIN).

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam arguably did the best cover of it, but used too much of his signature vibratto.

As I recall, William Friedkin used that Cash song for his film, The Hunted.
The Foo Fighters and Over and Out

Oh! I expected something more hard like the SexPistols from the Undertones. The leads seems too mild mannered.
 
The cropped red hair of the lead Sex Pistol reminds me of the lead Stone Temple Pilots in Wicked Garden.

How about some Ethiopian Jazz by Mulatu Astatke?

Yeah, had a senior moment and couldn't remember Rotten's name.

Here's some protest music since both the Democrats and the Republicans sold us out to the globalists.
Rage Against the Machine and Testify

Freaking talking points verbatium!
