Artists starting with Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band

Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band, “Safe As Milk” (Buddah, 1967)
The Captain’s first full LP finds himself still (barely) in the same musical world as everyone else; this is snappy, rubber-limbed psychedelic blues-rock, but already a good deal more aggressively disorienting and alien than the competition. (Credit is due to Ry Cooder’s sun-dazed slide guitar as well as Cap).
Try A/1, A/2, A/6, B/1.
