Twenty-six seconds was all I could stand of this. I won't even rate it, as it doesn't deserve the few seconds it would take to insert the image. Bloody awful. Batty, how could you?

What the blue jumping **** was that? Someone banging a drum (occasionally), finger clicking and some guy shouting his head off? No rating for you here either. That was ****ing terrible.

That was industrial. You asked for this. This isn't like Love or Hate where you're gonna get a bunch of recs from people trying to find something you like. You're actively asking for stuff you don't like and while I'll give it a shot to find something you might actually get I'm not gonna beat my head against a wall to find it, so don't be surprised if you get a bunch of Hail Marys from me. That was pretty accessible as far as early industrial goes tbh.

Maybe this'll be easier on you. Still industrial.

That isn't in any way what I said. I never asked for a Torture Chamber. It's taken as read, I think, that people would be trying to get me into genres they think I might like but have not tried yet. I don't expect, for instance, anyone to try to get me into grindcore or free jazz, really (though they can try) but if you thought for a moment I was going to like that, then after all this time you really don't know me. I think you're just trolling as usual, admit it. Try some other genre, or at least something that I won't bloody hate. Or not.

This is not very apparent tbh because the OP really sounds like you're expanding your taste than looking for recs that would be up your alley. Plus, thinking that you're not going to like something isn't exactly the same as a torture chamber rec.

I think you should just take it as it comes.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would you even include all these genres you don't like if you didn't want anyone to give you anything from them. You put industrial on the list so I gave you industrial. I didn't even think it was that inaccessible. I could have just thrown Throbbing Gristle at you and called it a day if I just wanted to troll you.

Reminds me of Jethro Tull. I hate Jethro Tull. The vocal is terrible. Sorry, again no way Jose Neapolitan.

Maddy Prior (MBE) has a wonderful voice. I rank her up there with the best Folk (Psychedelic Folk) singers like Joni Mitchell, Jacqui McShee, Celia Humphris and Sandy Denny. Acid Folk is really a good genre to get into, it's laid back and musicians are top notch in most bands. Maybe you secretly LIKE it but are afraid to admit it?

The Gateway to Captain Beefheart: First get into Deerhoof, they are more modern and current band and they are really good. You will be glad I introduce you to them. Then get into Tin Huey, if you haven't heard of them already. You at that age where you probably seen them live in concert. If you have please tell. After getting into those two wonderful bands you will find the most logical step is to get into Captain Beefheart. You will want to immerse yourself into the man and the music that started it all. You will see how much he has influence those other bands previously mentioned. Trust me once you drop the needle on Trout Mask Replica you have officially arrived in Frownland and you will frown no more. But beware the Magic Band will blow your mind away with how awesome they are. It is criminal how forgotten he and his music has become. I think if people had more Captain Beefheart in their life the world would be such a more groovy place to live in.

Avant-garde, experimental Rock etc etc

Deerhoof - Fresh Born - Juan's Basement


Tin Huey - Puppet Wipes


Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - German TV 1972

That was a whole lot better. Still not something I'd necessarily listen to for pleasure, but much better than that Einsatzgruppen whatever thing. Loved the snarling guitar, the pounding drums, the militaristic rhythm. Good stuff.
