I like the Grateful Dead, they're a great band, though a lot of their stuff is something I just appreciate, I don't listen to them very often.

I've had a hard time trying to get into Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band as well as the obscure Canadian hip hop artist Gruf The Druid.

Who woulda thunk Metal Machine Music would become an actual genre?

You said Gruf was pretty hard to get into but i got into him pretty easily. Must just be me. Do you like Dalek? The most avantgarde rap i've listened to anyway

So for me, the music of Fred Frith and Glenn Branca isn't anywhere near as inaccessible as say, the music of ZZ Top or Bad Company, so accessibility like everything else is a subjective thing.
I didn't like Bad Company at first but I started to appreciate them lately, and ZZ Top is one of my favorites, I consider them as having a "less is more" approach to guitar playing, and having "less" make every note is important to the song.

It's like who can honestly say they know every single note that Clapton or Buckethead is playing, right?

Dalek were pretty easy to get into for me, however I have heard that they can be hard to get into, I guess my version of Gruf for you.

I see. Is there a specific album that you would reccomend for me to start with?

I always thought of Bad Company as a disappointment especially given the quality of Paul Rodger`s stuff with Free.

Early ZZ Top were certainly unique with their southern blues boogie sound and "Deguello" was certainly their highlight......and how could anyone forget those boilersuits and beards.
