Capt. Beefheart
Him and his Magic Band created some of the strangest, funnest, most fascinating and enjoyable music I've ever heard.
Yes
Nick Cave
N/V
Nirvana
Powerful, emotional, all around excellent straight-forward rock music goodness. Maybe they didn't break out into 20 minute free form jazz solos, but that's kinda the point. Brings to mind images of the decades of punk rock, hard rock and all 'round rock star images, attitudes and lifestyles into one incredibly powerful package.
What gets kids into the Pixies, Jesus Lizard, Dead Kennedys, etc. Far too important to pass up.
Yes
Blur
As good as they were at what they did, what they did wasn't very good.
No
Neil Young
Abstain just because I haven't listened to him in years, and honestly can't remember much.
N/V
My Bloody Valentine
Never heard an album in it's entirety.
N/V
John Zorn
Simply the best jazz music I've ever heard. Challenging, dissoant, enchantingly beautiful.
Yes
